The board are doing things properly and we just need to trust them. The most important thing is that we get the right replacement. Unless the wheels come off totally, which they’ve showed no signs of doing, we will keep Gerrard until his replacement is ready to go. Look at Bournemouth, they sacked their manager and got a caretaker manager. What a brilliant move. Why is keeping a useless manager until a replace is ready, considered doing the right thing? From the outside it looks the club is doing nothing. I understand that it is scary if the club wasn’t doing anything behind the scenes either. But saying that keeping a useless manager over getting a caretaker manager is the best way, to avoid the thought that the club is doing absolutely nothing, is just hiding the head in the sand.

After Lopetegui deal falling through, they are going to end up panicking and making the wrong appointment Agreed. They will end up going for Nuno probably.

I haven't actually fired any " criticism " at him, my criticisms are more aimed at fans who seem to have an extremely overblown vision of who he is, whilst displaying a massively defeatist and self deprecating view when it comes to our club. The FACT is that his only " Elite " job he has had is PSG. If we are honest, even that is debatable ( Elite status in comparison to traditional elite clubs I mean ) ", PSG are only currently " Elite " due to being owned by Qatar, and pretty much being too strong for the league by default. So yes, it is ambitious to want to go after him, but this notion that it's laughable is ridiculous. As I've noted more than once and as you know, Ancelotti went to Everton for example!

I have read somewhere Emery is interested but has a situation where he cannot move until November. Maybe bonus related? I've had a punt at 6/1 in hope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not doing well. That’s obviously clear but at least things are stable. We should have more points than we’ve actually got and the players are still trying hard. Why rock the boat?

I know his contract is up in June. So compensation should be relatively low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning rubbish, meaning less than a ppg not just this season but into last season. I’m not sure I agree we should’ve got more points the way we are playing. We look like a team around the relegation zone. Yeah we could’ve picked points some places but the same argument could be said about games like Southampton which was just poor teams and our goal was a rebound off the cross bar, arguably lucky to get three points that game so on balance we are where we deserve to be. It’s not acceptable and not a “stable” that is good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Im only listening to fabrizio at this point and something must be happening theres far too much talk and the bookies are throwing up next managers, something must be happening very soon. Happy with poch emery or tuchel, preferably tuchel for charisma and poch for coaching. But the way i keep refreshing pages is not good for my health Edited October 19, 2022 by RicRic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
