Morning everyone, (just) We're back online at last....... Another loss at the weekend. Are we safe? Cellino's jetting in this morning. How many axes will fall at ER? Should we expect to see better performances on the pitch now? Looks like Haigh's gone!!! Scapegoat or sneak?
Morning - Exciting times ahead, I would like another win before feeling we are safe My only fear with Cellino is that he doesn't know the English game and the pace of the Championship. With that in mind and that he likes to bring in his own players I wouldn't like to see ageing Italian superstars brought in to "fix" the problem and they find themselves caught out. I am reading a few rumours linking us with Italian ex Internationals all of the 34-35 year old age bracket. If we get a new manager I would prefer it to be someone who has managed in England and the Championship before
Morning / Afternoon all Annoying that this was down all morning, I had to actually do some work Just about to post up the match thread for tomorrow night, it's a new layout that I've been working on ahead of next season's match threads. But thought, new owner, why not debut it early! Let me know what you think
Morning all. I'd like another win to be sure. But I already think we're comfortably in the running for mid table mediocraty. That said, a win and solid performance tomorrow would point the way ahead for next season. It might also ensure BMD keeps his job and gives him the chance to show what he & the team can do with proper investment.
Morning all, interesting times indeed. I bet there's a few people looking over there shoulders today, and rightly so!
I really hope that BMD is not the first out of the door. But plenty of others will be on their way in the near future. I also really hope that Mihael Brown keeps his place for another season unless the mafia arrive with their own midfield enforcer. Not seen too many games where players play with a violin case under their arm though. So maybe he'll be safe.
Morning all. Great to finally sorted the bulk of the off field stuff. Personally, I couldn't care less if mcd is out the door and brings 90% of the squad with him. Sick of the excuses being made for him mainly cos he's a nice fella. Time for radical change and luckily, very luckily, we have the man that will have no hesitation in ringing the changes.
There's an EXCLUSIVE (in the Daily Star ) saying that Cellino is facing a mutiny with players angry at him for discussing their performances and details of their contracts in public. maybe loads of them will quit and save us some money?! ...but then again...it's from the DAILY STAR. Hardly likely to be true.
Tap Malky Makay before those budgies do as they could do the drop, and if they do, i for one want to see what those 3 do, Norwich have got big finance problems and Championship wages will not cut it for 80% of their current greedy squad.
I dont like Malkys style of play at all. I'd rather us try and pass the ball, hoofing doesnt ever work with us!
If Brian is to be axed I would like Steve Clarke to take over. I believe his duties at West Brom were first team coach and not a typical manager. He did a brilliant job with West Brom and has had some great mentors (Ruud Gullit at Newcastle/Mourinho at Chelsea/Dalglish at Liverpool/Zola at West Ham). He's worked with massive clubs so understands the pressure. Infact, I don't know why no one else has mentioned him.
The principle right bucks but how many seasons were bardiff just missing out under Jones. MM came in sorted them out and went straight up, so maybe not Brasil but deffo not Warnock either, or even BMcD fort that matter.
di canio would be an absolute disaster. i tend to think the linking of italian players / managers is lazy lazy journalism. being a leeds fan i also still think that the fl will throw a spanner into the works at some point so am trying to dampen my enthusiasm. for me we need a manager who knows what it takes to get out of this division and someone you can trust with a couple of bob. with bmd we get the first one but sadly he has embarrassed himself in the latter. we need a manager and squad to get us up, we then need a squad (and possibly a manager) to keep us up. we then need another squad to even think about challenging for europe. I hope his pockets are deep
A lot of people are suggesting Zola surely we are replacing one nice man with another nice man why would it work for zola?
