New Head Coach

[Disco down under]

How good would it be if the club came out and stated Nixon's assertions, not for the first time during this process, have been wide of the mark and that the club are making positive progress towards hiring a coach who can take the team towards promotion.

And that Nixon has no credible source within the club and should not be taken seriously given his history of spreading unsubstantiated rumours and lies.

I think I'd enjoy that more than us actually hiring a coach.

Speakman should be sacked today for this ****

Well, surely that says don't create a backlash to give them a fighting a chance.

Won't be either of them anyway.

Supporters couldn’t be blamed. 100+ days to appoint one of those two?

 

[Culinary]

I dread to think of the fan uproar if they **** this appointment up here.

If it's one of Challinor or Robinson, the backlash will be HUGE. To the point of it being nigh on impossible for either of them to ever succeed, like with Beale. So even appointing them in the first place will be pointless. Needs to be Jansen, Still, or someone else of a decent calibre.

Club can't get this wrong, and I fear they're going to badly.

The club were apparently taken aback by the fans' reaction to the Beale appointment. They were genuinely shocked by it. I wonder if they are concerned this time around enough to try and gauge the fans feelings before finalising an appointment.

I've said previously that I hate the idea of pandering to fans' whims as we're generally a pretty clueless bunch (it's how we ended up with Defoe back here and nearly with Keane rather than Neil) but after what's happened with Beale and now this close season I really do think that the fans' reaction to an appointment is going to have to be a huge consideration and paramount in their selection.

But in a bizarre twist, Jansen would look like a real coup…

but...but...the club have no ambition etc

This appointment will tell us everything we need to know about that.

 

[JHmackem]

Love being dramatic me

I have never at any point said the club have no ambition.

I will be delighted with Jansen.

 

[LD19SAFC]

I have never at any point said the club have no ambition.

I will be delighted with Jansen.

Me too, I really hope we make it happen.

I didn't say you had said that. It was more a general comment about the narrative on the thread and the uproar about Alan Nixon's latest guess

 

[Hudson92]

I spout on all summer that Nixon knows nout, he puts one article up that I think could be a disaster for us and I’ve fallen for it hook line and sinker, **** sake

 

[Dave_39]

This appointment will tell us everything we need to know about that.

exactly and recruitment too

Aye fairs mate. I will wonder if it’s Robinson mind.

 

[Wayne the Punk]

I was through at Seaham having my dinner (lunch to you posh ****ers) in The Lamp Room, glanced at my phone to see that I had 22 alerts on my phone, yes I thought, its done.

No, it was my **** eyes and how quickly I swivelled my head, it said 2

Yeah, they'd be disappointing but if kicking off makes them less likely to succeed, kicking off is self-defeating.

 

[TopCat.]

Aye fairs mate. I will wonder if it’s Robinson mind.

Nah, he's not the one for me. I know there is context to it all, but his record looks mediocre at best and he's only 5'8" so am getting Lee Johnson Scrappy Doo vibes

 

[Dunder Mifflin]

Jansen or bust for this regime

 

[TopCat.]

Jansen or bust for this regime

He'd be my preferred signing, even over that Ginger one

 

[Robertson]

If, and it's a big if, Challinor and Robinson are on our shortlist then surely Rosenior is as well. Unless he has said no thanks.

It doesn't make sense.

 

[E.T. Fairfax]

Jansen or bust for this regime

I'm surprised he got over that broken leg
