    They’ve got the right to feel however they want, if we’re being told it’s close, people will be concerned if it drags on another month

    I think you're right, the Internet does amplify and extend any moaning that happens. I think though that the idea that was suggested, that we're better customers/consumers/fans if we complain, is wrong and part of an attitude that is detrimental.

    I am chilled can just understand why others wouldn’t be if it went on until July, people are already getting restless, think it’ll be resolved next week regardless though

    The Reims chairman was a twat to Still back when he was assistant to a manager who left due to his child being ill - they basically forced him to become manager or pay the club something like 6 million euros. funnily enough he doesnt mention this here.

    Falls perfectly into the 3 week time frame, even if he’s not here immediately a ‘reached an agreement’ from the club would put everyone at ease, then we can can start whinging about strikers again :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    FourFourTwo reckon Chelsea's shortlist consists of Michel, Sebastian Hoeness, Tuchel, McKenna, Maresca, De Zerbi, and Thomas Frank.

    McKenna is going to land himself a great job this window, do wonder if he’s better off staying put though? Must be hard to turn down a Chelsea or United those opportunities don’t come around often

    There's something romantic about him staying for at least another season. As long as they don't over extend financially, they'll be sound. If he keeps them up his stock is still high, even if they're relegated by the skin of their teeth, given the quality of teams in the Prem, he could go again with Ipswich or a Brighton type.

    However I'd understand if he went to Chelsea or United because that might be his only chance.

    The state of football is mirroring the state of the world, with the "demanding" of things being done instantly, it's a lot like trial by social media, you need to go through the processes before being properly held accountable.

    They see managers like Mckenna and think it has to be done straight away.

    Burnley Luton and Sheffield up then down. It’s good financially at first but not necessarily overall. Leeds and Southampton will be messy whoever doesn’t make it this time. Slowly slowly catchy monkey

    Why do Chelsea owners think another manager will do any better with the mish mash of players they have? Poch had them playing decent towards end of season. Game, especially at the top, is mental. It's lost on me.

    From what ive heard is theres been massive disagreements between Poch n the technical team about how to move forward

    Poch was 100% the right manager for them at this stage so could be a massive blow losing him

    I genuinely think it's because of the demand for instant gratification that comes from both (certain) club owners and (and an element of) club's fans. Success now, or you're gone. I get more and more the impression that once a club has a certain amount of success, people can't cope if that club doesn't maintain that level of success, but that's not how sport works really.

    Selfishly I want to see him have a crack with Ipswich, his ties with United could be too big a pull to ignore though
