There are a myriad of reasons why our form tailed off last season, also it was February to May - 15 games over a 3 month period where our form dropped off. That is such a small sample size - even Beale had us 6th in the league before we hit a brick wall. Up to and including the Plymouth game, we averaged 1.5 points per game over the previous 77 games. The last 15 games of the season saw us average 0.6 points per game and whilst that is a clear downturn it doesn't automatically mean we are in a relegation battle next season. Far from it IMHO

We’ll see. Zero faith in those currently running the club to provide the signings we’re desperate for.

Their content used to be good (and they do have some good writers) but they was a little bit of celebrity about them when they were on STID, then they had their noses pushed right out of joint when Donald and Methven fell into bed with Roker Report/Rapport. Since that point they just do not have a positive word to say about the club.

Rumour right?

I’ve not seen a tangible link like.

He does fit though. Bilingual coach who’s decent at coaching youth, has had a decent spell managing first team football, who wants to break into a full time head coach role, is about to be free (contract expires June 30th), and knows the North East well.

On paper, he ticks a lot of boxes.

Also, seeing as we’ve apparently got some unnamed coaches we’re targeting, the fact there’s been no reports linking him is possibly a positive.

I see he is now our favourite. No that our betting odds have shown absolutely anything of note for this manager search kind

We won't be relegated, even a coach like Beale who is widely considered here as not good had us picking up points so as long as they aren't Dodds level bad we'll be fine.

But this is, for me, a very weak Championship this coming season so I feel like with a good appointment and good summer we could really be up there however we are needlessly putting ourselves behind other teams already. You look at teams like Boro, Stoke and Norwich who you'd think we need to be better than to finish in the playoffs next season and they all already have coaches in place and are conducting transfer business. The only other club in the championship without a coach is Burnley but they have a squad that is one of the best at the level.

You also have the fact Rigg can sign for anyone for nothing on Tuesday I think it is. If he leaves I think you can expect uproar.

We can't afford to be left behind and be chasing all season. You could argue that Leeds appointing Farke so late and them having a poor start to the season cost them promotion.

Apparently - from a lad I work with and is ITK - Craig Bellamy is going to Burnley as head coach

Listened to them sporadically years ago and weren't too bad but seemed to develop a very negative vibe even when things were going well so I stopped. Didn't realise that was the reason.

One of them was fan blaming on twitter yesterday, if you have anything positive to say its toxic apparently and you're part of the problem
