    I would think Fernandes would be better in the "new AM" position, and we'd be better with "new DM" or Charles to play alongside Downes.

    I think we get too hung up on "SR want to play x way" - if they had wanted to play Man City high possession exclusively, they'd never in a million years have appointed NJ.

    They don't have a specific style they're wedded to, but I suspect they'd like attractive football that actually wins matches and keeps us in the league.

    Agree with this, I think Fernandes could definitely be 1 of the attacking 2, and we can get a real DM to compliment Downes.

    I can imagine the scenes on Sheffield Wednesday's forum: right now they're over the moon and then then we recall Charles on 1st Jan. <laugh>

    Contract until the end of the season. Makes sense

    Lightning fast counter attacks? What is this wizardry?

    Definitely logical.

    Good chance we still lose every week, so any new manager would be toxic going into the championship.

    when we go down, we can go for a new manager and attack the championship.

    If Juric manages to keep us up.. give him the keys to the city

    It's also manna for those of us who are fans of the book "A Season In Verona" and have developed a small fascination with the madness of Hellas Verona.

    (If you haven't read it, read it).

    I can tell you know it will be the same song that Selles had. Football fans have no imagination.

    He got sacked from Roma with a 33.3% win ratio.
    I’d take that now as would give us 7-8 wins and at Roma 1.2 points per game 26.4 points (based on 22 games remaining),taking us over 30 for the season.
    At Torino 1.4 ppg giving us 30.8 points in 22 giving us 36 points, basically keeping us up.
    We are staying up I said we are saying up :1980_boogie_down:

    This comment just sums up how thick the average football fan is:



    Cretin. Remind me, how much experience of the PL did Poch or Ralph have?

    This is such a painfully dumb argument.
