The Manager Thread...

Midfield looks alright even if Sam, Grosicki and Tom go. I'd be happy with Meyler, Evandro and Henricksen plus AN Other.

If Daws goes I'd make Meyler captain.

 

Won't surprise me if Sliva came back in for Evandro and Huddlestone.

 

Don't think he will , criminally didn't bring Hudds back in for must win games

 

Leonid Slutsky has made his first appointment as Head Coach, which sees Tony Pennock return to the Club to take up the position of First Team Coach.

Blimey, bit out of the blue. Would be surprised if The Slut had ever heard of him before last week.

Further evidence casually thrown into the quotes there that we'll be relying on academy players next season...

 

Great news

 

Good move me thinks.

 

It quite possible that we could lose a couple of keepers, Dawson, Clucas, Huddlestone, Grosicki and Hernandez though. There's a lot of work to be done

 

ffs

not that ****ing interviewer again

it's why harry left, it's why marco left
it's why bruce left
fact

 

I like him. Comes across as a very humble man and someone very grateful for the opportunity. Interestingly he said he wanted to keep hold of some important players.

Highlighted central defence 1 maybe 2 and centre forwards 2 as priority areas.

Interestingly he said he doesn't have a set system, he uses a system suited to the players he has.

Looking forward to the season starting already.

 

Ive got a feeling that Grosicki will stay.

Based on absolutely nothing, I hasten to add.

 

Hoping Clucas is one. He's tied down to a long deal if I remember, so unless a ridiculous bid, I'd be keeping him.

 

I'm OK with this.

 

Phew.

 

Blimey, that guy's English is good for someone who didn't start learning it until 5 months ago. And liked what he said.

 

Ehaw ran it past me for Tony P to return, I did the numbers, went for a crap and decided it was a no brainer.

So I sent Ehaw a fax (written in crayon) with a contract to colour in and he did the deed.

Can't take all the credit obvs, it was Ehaw's idea, he just needed someone to hold his hand and tell him he was a good boy.

I believe he is considering Tijani Belaid for the DOF role, unconfirmed at this time though.

 

I think you are right, think he will not let anyone go who has more than a year left on deal/release clause, or a stupidly high bid is offered

 

UPDATE - seems I misheard him and he was actually contemplating his tiny bellend.
