Well this is a ****ing car crash of an appointment. Awesome footballer, very questionable managerial career. Sure the name will appease some though. It feels crazy to turn your nose up, but it's just so underwhelming. Only positive is we can now fill out squad with loans and FATs.....onwards and upwards.

Burnsy seems to think the new manager will be announced tomorrow, which suggests it's Zola, as they confirmed earlier he was a target.

Don't get my wrong Carpet is a top geezer, and a good commentator who should get a gig on FiveLive, far better than uber pillock Alan Greene, but one that seldom gets anything right...One of these days he is going to be right, but like most of us on here no one can second guess what is going on in the heads of those at the top of HCAFC.
 
This tablet is sodding glitchy tonight! Just wanted to say that while Zola was one of the most entertaining players I remember with his dribbling, passing and all round clever play, not mention some cracking goals, his manager rwcord is pretty patchy. Under him we may play with more flair but have a leakier defence.
But generally, just get a manager in and sell the club pronto.

well the players have been brought in by bruce and if he's gone there's a chance that they may not be wanted by the new manager
more relevant is that the players would look at how the manager situation has been handled and consider it a mess and have no confidence in the club being able to get a good manager considering the allams also want to sell the club
are you relaxed about the current situation?

There are a lot of ifs and buts and hypothetical situations in that statement! I do not particularly like the current situation, but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I'm very much looking forward to having a new manager, new players and the start of the new season. I can't wait - the excitement is building up nicely.
 
Just wonder if Zola does get the job, whether he will keep the existing back room staff. Defensively wouldn't be bad to have Phelan still on the coaching side, as the players left seems to have respect for him

I just think that Robertson isn't a good enough defender and Odubajo is too attacking which will leave a big gap behind unless we play three at the back rather than the present none.
 
This is a disaster waiting to follow on from the current disaster

Every job Zola has had has ended up with a very poor run of form leading to dismissal

Seems he can't inspire lowly teams

I don't think we have enough centre halves to play 3 at the back at the moment!

There was ONE "if" - re Bruce gone - and no buts.
I realise there's nothing any of us can do about the current situation - what is the point of stating the obvious?

FFS man, what's wrong with you?
