    Been out all day and just tried to read all the posts but it’s mental.

    I think everyone needs to get on board with it whether you’re disappointed, excited, or somewhere in the middle. It’s happening.

    The good news in 2 weeks we get to do this every day in the transfer window.

    So, who do you want?

    You can't always just relentlessly post negatives ...

    ... who do you positively want?

    Or don't you actually have an original opinion.

    Because they have heard from other clubs fans, and just decided he is. If he is appointed then fans need to just get behind him

    Thanks for posting. Folk like me arent on social media so interesting to read, even if I have no idea if credible. It would be odd I think, but good as well. Venus came with Mowbray and was brilliant. Maybe they now see Dodds as the next cab off the rank, so fair enough. TBH Still doesnt have a lot to be bargaining with in my opinion.

    Good comments from Martinez and Defoe. Gerrard comments already well documented...

    Well, I welcomed with Mowbray with open arms and that was the right call.

    Reading this I'm surprised how many are saying they were disappointed at the time with the Neil appointment.
    I thought it was a brilliant appointment for what he had done at Norwich and Preston plus to get him to drop to league 1.

    I think Johnson was a good appointment for the fact of where we were.
    And both turned out to be the right appointments at the right time.

    Don't know much about beale but reading some of the stuff online he likes a rigid back line with 2 in front and a free flowing front 4, I think we've got the players to provide that here, up to him to show he can coach them effectively to get results. That's how he'll be ultimately judge not on whether his press conferences are good or not.

    When was the last time a club's supporters ever said their ex-manager was wonderful?

    QPR and Rangers have been shyte for a decade, is that really the fault of their various managers?

    Perfect post mate. You should post more.

    Anyone going to Brazil to learn about coaching is serious about what he does. My dream has been to do 6 months in theit favellas but have never done it. I know 3 lads who went out there and they came back so different in how they coached.

    Cheers mate, but really do disagree. Honestly see no reason to think he is underwhelming. What are those reasons. For me, if he had been in the early media reports against Still, Hellberg and Sable he would have been my pick. I do think the club had other preferences, but I am on record as saying they arent great at this coach appointment business (see the Keane fiasco) but this, for me, is a coach with a great pedigree. By hook or by crook they have landed on a good candidate, even if they media outlets disagree.

    Spot on with what you’re saying @Smug in Boots and it’s not a gripe with anyone personally but a lot of people chime in with what we need then offer no ideas.

    I’ve still to this day not heard a single viable suggestion for the “proven” striker people want. If we signed a load of championship plodders in the summer I guarantee people would’ve been fuming - I know I would’ve.

    I do NOT only post negativity. I only want what’s best for SAFC.

    I don’t necessarily have a preferred name, just an appointment that goes with our owner’s supposed ambition for our club.

    An appointment that most would be exited about, not like MOST posters are feeling about BEEL.

    IMO BEEL comes no where near fitting into that category. In fact, I would say it’s a lazy cheap option.

    Sorry I think the bloke is a chancing cockney spiv, and if he is appointed I think I’ll be proved right.

    Sadly the shouty minority of pessimists post the most and, after seeing other like-minded posts, come to believe they're in the majority.

    They then post as if their opinions are prevalent.

    It not until people like you post a bit of sense and logic that they step back and give their heads a shake.

    Post more.

    To sack a manager that the players had a huge bond with and the majority of fans an affinity and then have no plan in place other than Beale is absolutely disgraceful imo, and we cant pretend its not, even the most optimistic of fans must agree this just does not sit right at all.

    If he's going to be hands on coaching, where would it leave Doddsy?
