    Just human nature mate. We gravitate to the information that fits our underlying thoughts.
    Some will want a positive spin some will want a negative spin.
    Really difficult to be totally objective.

    When clubs say they follow the data for managers transfers etc its a really difficult thing to do
    Sometimes you have to go against you're gut feelings and people struggle with this. Especially people at the top with big ego's.

    Especially when it is a DoF with no experience of being a DoF.

    Whoever we get deserves a chance, and folk need to remember how bad the second half of the season was. No easy fixes here. We need to build again. Sadly, judging by some posts I think he will get no real patience and it will be a case of highlighting the mistakes and ignoring the positives. God help him when he does press conferences and we have fans disecting everything and reading between the lines and getting it wrong.

    Might work. Might not matter, we haven't hired him yet.

    Not sure why you're keen on an expensive coach. Spending money does not guarantee success.

    I used to go there in the 90’s and all you could smell was cocoa powder. I was doing the M&E at the Gala Bingo, so looking like it will be one of @rovertiger ’s go to places now, the old sod

    I'm sure others may know, and don't shoot the messenger, but the Jansen talks ended because once again, the sticking block was of course.... backroom staff. Oddly Still was given the green light to bring people in, however Jansen wasnt. Having that stipulation in the vacancy is only going to make a smaller net to when looking for a coach.

    Inflexibility does not equate to sustainability and they need to learn very quickly that a model has to adapt to move forward

    He will either need to change his style of football or we will need to invest in players to match his usual style.

    I hope the bloke realises if he says we need a CDM it will likely be a 17 year old from the French second division. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Madness if true, especially to change it for Still but not others. Basically saying to any other candidate we don't want you as much as we did Still.

    Again if true I have no idea and just commenting in what you have said!

    How do you know this ? IF it’s true, I’m sorry but Speakman has to be taken out of this because of a conflict of interest or the board deserve all of the **** they get

    Isn’t Steve Cooper who you suggested to get a free option? Was Tony Mowbray a free option? Was Alex Neil a free option?

    Instead of throwing your toys out the pram and stamping your feet, get behind whoever comes in
