Yes we should be blamed. If we have what is basically an agreement that the manager can leave for another club any time he chooses it would be criminally negligent not to have a clear plan in place
lost track of which thread is which so throwing Jocelyn back in. Left Lille in the summer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Gourvennec
I said literally ready to go. as in literally to be announced tonight, which was what I was responding to I then said we should have a list of options ready to immediately work thru...
Why? If he couldn't see this coming he must be blind as well as pretentious. He should have a very definite idea already of who he wants.
I'm talking about announcing somebody tonight ffs - not that he needs more than a few hours to start asking
lots of gossip and guesses flying arond today. People leave jobs and move on to other things all the time, for many different reasons. We don't as fans have the God-given right to be told whats gone on, it could be football/personal/family/health related..... anything. If he's gone, we move on, concentrate on tomorrow and the future, and deal with it. Get behind the lads tomorrow and show that no-one is bigger than the club. Onwards and Upwards, Alex Who???
We'll see. But if you faith in that man, you are more forgiving than me. He has no credit in the bank other than some good recruitment. He gets the big things wrong.
i honestly did not want to subscribe to this line of thought...but the fact that we played and beat stoke down there when AN had a great chance for an 'after game drink and natter', to be followed by oniels sacking with AN immediately installed as fave for the job absolutely stinks to high heaven.
I dont - I was purely saying its unrealistic to expect us to have an appointment lined up. we should DEFINITELY have choices and a succession plan lined up to speak to. but doubt anything would or should have been further than that.
Gone from potentially signing Blackburn's player of the year and a PSG prodigy to losing our manager and potentially our best player in 24 hours. Excuse me. I'll just pop to the bottom of the Wear.
Wouldn’t believe any of that **** personaly! We gave him a platform and took him in from a ****e Scottish team and he’s doing the business in the championship now,he’s adored and really can’t see him ****ing off from such a good place imo Ofcourse.
the chronicle reporting that Stoke actually wanted a different manager first but were put off by the compensation needed...
