    Just sick of the constant kick to the bollocks. Never feels like we will ever kick on.

    So you're basing your opinion of the Cowleys on what the Huddersfield fans thought after a run of bad results. And you're basing your opinion of Mourinho on a quarter of a season. You do realise there's a bigger picture? You need to look at the wider world not just selected snapshots in time.

  4. Don't agree there. We're not in good form,but we aren't that far away...a decent 5 or 6 game run will have us thereabouts. However, I do agree they need to sort it....the longer it goes the more difficult it will become.

    How sad is this especially after yesterday.
    I'm sat here with my morning coffee. Computer on this page my mobile on RTG. My ipad on sky news and my tv on SSN.
    All just waiting for the announcement of our new man in charge.
    Got to say Hayley on SSN does make it more relaxing to watch.
    For some reason I am expecting an announcement sometime today

    We cant score goals, We've never even occupied an auto spot since we came into this league, only blind faith we can do it this year IMO, I dont think we we'll score enough to win enough games. Would take a considerable change in approach and players finding their shooting boots if so.

    Absolutely. The takeover hasn't officially happened yet but its obvious from the Schwartz Poyet links that they have a plan
    I would think they have a number of options but Poyet was obviously their first choice and by the looks of it on the verge of coming
    So they will need time to reassess. Wouldn't expect a queue sitting in the carpark waiting for the call.

    agree - but on the flip side of that, when discussing Poyet, they'd have discussed others and landed on Poyet as Plan A. So you could expect it possible that a Plan B was also landed on, or was at least easy to reach after yesterday's bad news.

    Bloody quick mate.

    I hope they've thought this through and they've spoken to Schwarz or whoever the SD will be, to make sure he feels that this manager is comfortable with the style of play that the SD is wanting us to adopt.They've got to be singing from the same hymn sheet for this to work long term.

    Not consistently, Just checked we had for four games under Ross but then dropped out, never been top like, second at best.

    Johnson would appear to follow the Steve Bruce method of losing for months. Not a risk I would like us to take

    Agree mate we are absolutely ****e. There is every chance we won't go up this season
    But more reason to take stock and get it right.
    A proper plan and a well structure club. Better than a knee jerk appointment who doesn't get us promoted anyway and we sack him in Feb.

    More assumptions. They thought they were **** after having them for near on a whole season, and seeing as that was the biggest job they'd had, it doesn't fill me with any confidence about them. It seems to me that they are a good at non-league and lower league but failed to implement their ideas when they were faced with a better quality of opposition. And again, over half of them wanted the new guy, so what does that say?

    Mourinho has won trophies everywhere he's been and his footy is perfectly okay to watch to my eyes. Imagine thinking he plays dour defensive football man, that's a joke. We'd be ****ing creaming our pants if we had a gaffer who could do similar.

    The bigger picture? How about having a gaffer who can act as a magnet to attract decent players, as we have struggled maasively with that over the years. And like it or not, getting in a 'big name' helps to achieve that imo.

    Thats my thoughts too.

    No idea how you can have a plan in place for Poyet to get everything structurally right, he then rejects it and we can have someone completely different in style lined up (thats of course, if Cowley rumours are true)

    All we need is a manager who isn't obsessed with keeping a clean sheet.

    Absolutely mate. I'm not thinking weeks but I'm happy for them to take a few days and get it right.

    I think they said Parky interviewed well last year. I hope it wasn't the same interviewing panel.
