I'm not convinced it was a trust thing, I just think we come way down the pecking order and Covid probably accentuated that, yet the new management team have somehow pushed us up the list. Or because of their warped thinking ignoring Mowbray was kinder than sacking him. Not even sure it's a money thing in truth, more of the way they operate.

Steve Waggott

Waggott was always going to run rings around Chaddy, he's not got where he is without having the ability to schmooze people who could challenge him much more than Chaddy could - no offence intended. He'll never do more than window dress as that's what he is paid to do. Another symptom of the Venky disease, him and his ilk will be involved and around the club until the wretches sell. -
The expectation that one good appointment makes everything OK is naive in the extreme. We're still owned by the same useless c&nts that have no interest in us other than keeping the lights on. And we don't even know if its a good appointment yet. Really hoping it is and JDT is the miracle worker we need to get promoted but it's nothing more than a very slim hope for me.

Ignore the way JDT was employed at your peril. It was clearly being run like an absolute shit show - as anyone with a functioning brain would've predicted - until Broughton was head hunted by this mysterious agency. Yes it's a positive outcome but what happens if JDT bails in 6 months? We'd have to hope Broughton hadn't also fucked off and that he genuinely does have the owners ears. Given the last 12 years I don't see how you couldn't be wary and that's not being negative that's being realistic.

Absolutely looks like he fell in our lap rather than having a plan in place to get him - or someone like him. However, we all know Venkys don't have a plan and if they did how the fuck has that worked out of the last 12 years? Really hoping we've stumbled across a gem as if it works out it doesn't matter how we got there.

Very hard to gauge if it's a good appointment or not based on JDT's history. Overall though I feel it could have been a lot worse - Grayson, Woodgate, Cocu etc Still feel we'll never get back where we want to with the owners and their set up but I would file this appointment (when confirmed) under 'pleasantly surprised'.. Let's see where we are in 6 months.

Clutching at straws; (as straws are all these wretched owners leave us with) having listened to Broughton's interview he seems like he has his head screwed on, so he would have asked for some kind of guarantees over the head coach role, surely? He must have asked who we were looking at and the timelines or he wouldn't have taken the role, right?

Given the fact that the DoF was originally going to be employed after the coach/manager I suspect the assumption that it's Knutsen we're looking at is pretty unlikely. No idea who this guy is but he seems to have his head screwed on and interviews very well. We do still have Venkys running the show though so I back them to pull out an absolute stinker on the management front.
