Not going to miss Lenihan's stuttering panic bringing the ball out of defence to then lump it up towards our 5ft striker. More likely to miss his robust defending but still feel he's replaceable.. If our illustrious owners given the new team a budget, of course.

A few seconds of a video in which Dacky look disinterested and suddenly he's never going to the play he was 😭 Granted he's had a couple of nasty injuries and chances are he will struggle to get where he was, but he has more than earned that chance

Love this, very Scandinavian. If he can respond like Kimi Raikkonen does to the press then I'm going to be a big fan..

It's not over until the fat lady/HSH candidate sings

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.

You know when you made your user name when you were in your 20's and you thought it was amusing.. I had a shocker

I think it was a smoking reference

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?

Feels like lazy journalism to me. Broughton wasn't first choice and wasn't mentioned before being appointed so no doubt it'll be the same for the manager.. though I can't think of anyone that hasn't been mentioned, in fairness!

I like the fact after 314 pages of people mentioning that the odds don't mean a fuck that on every single one of those 314 pages someone has refenced the odds.

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.

Do you think it's because of the fact the clowns in charge haven't a fuck what's going on so there's nothing to keep under wraps?

Given how much they ignored Mowbrays appalling runs of form I'd be concerned that if any of those three made the effort to go to India then they'd be left in place to take us down to League One.

Given Venkys previous I honestly think Ainsworth is an ambitious appointment. I would put Woodgate, Adkins & Cocu much more in their wheelhouse..

I mean, it's going to be a dud isn't it

If you don't give any air to the fire it'll go out.. Or, ignore wankers that try and impress strangers with knowledge they don't have

And the odds tumble

You only have to look at our last appointment to know how relevant the odds are. Perhaps at other clubs you could read into it more, but not even the clowns that own us know what's going to happen let alone people like Nixon etc that affect the betting markets

Is Woodgate HSH?! Close the fucking book, decision made

Unlikely I'll give you but I believe we would pay compensation for the *right manager *HSH client

So could someone assume that no one within HSH stable currently fits the bill so Lowe stays in place to keep their dirty little fingers in the pie? (Allegedly)

Yep, fucking stinks. There is no plausible reason to keep him in place that isn't dodgy.

C6nts attract c6nts. Venkys deserve everything they get with all the leeches floating around waiting for their chance to suck them dry. The problem is we the fans don't deserve this shit. It's so utterly hateful from top to bottom.

In fact fuck it go and get Ainsworth, he's the only one left that draws any excitement out of me. Imagine him going mental on the sidelines against those bastards when we win 0-1 at that shithole
