Aren't they all.... Until they get sniff of a better deal elsewhere. Like brittain he had a good purple patch last season but for most of his time here he's mostly been mediocre ability wise and has a habbit of disappearing in games when things aren't going well That said. He will be missed massively in other ways

Thought it was a bit naive of the manager to start so many new in experienced(in the championship) players tbh, ok fair enough he didn't have many options but still... Most managers would have introduced the newbies gradually in the 2nd half to get them a bit of game time

Feel like the manager, recruitment team and board are all on the same page for the first time in a loooooong time!

I think whst we saw of brittain in the final couple of months is the best he's gonna get (a reliable rw back nothing more nothing less) Millar allresdy looks as good as brittain if he can adapt to the championship and has the potential to be a better more versatile player than brittain. Who knows, just get some players signed 😅😅

True dat. I agree it does often seem more like pure petulant stubbornness than good buisnesses negotiations

The one (and probably only) thing you can credit the venky ownership for over the years is that they're never a pushover when it comes to selling players for the price they value them at

The dolan situation reminds me a lot of the nyame situation.... Player thinks he's better and worth more than he actually is. But if that was the case then a decent club would have snapped him up immediately. Can see his career nose diving and him becoming another player that doesn't realise how good he's had it here

He got a lot of stick on here in the past (mostly aimed at his apearance and demeanor 😅) but seemed a good loyal popular member of staff. Be gutted if d Johnson gets pushed out too

Sorry not as sure it's been mentioned anywhere else and didn't want to create a new thread.... But it's been pretty much confirmed that david lowe has left the club

Britain shouldn't be for sale to another championship club. And anything less than 10mill should be laughed at. But hexsim0ly shouldn't be sold

Weren't one of the venks lining one of there sons up to one day take control a few years back?

I know it's still early days.... But has anybody been impressed by a single thing that Ismael has done(or even said) yet?

Also tbf😣 as cretinous as they are you could argue Pasha & waggot have a decent track record of hiring good managers (just sadly in regards to the last 2 they've quickly jumped ship)

Wonder how long it will take before John Park is again re hired following the new manager then parts way (again) in six months

Agree on every assessment. If that really was the list then it would be 💯 best just to leave it until the summer when there will be more managers available or until someone more promising comes forward

That's why I've been thinking that maybe Gerrard could work even though I'm not really a fan of him overall... But he could have the personality and determination (bit souey esque) to just push us over the line and he can just let the current coaching team keep things as they are for now without any major or changes

Can't believe there's so many that genuinely think Allardyce is the man for the job🙈 He did a average job for us on the whole and his career went on a steady continuous downward slope after leaving us (and became the epitomy of a mercinary)

Big part of me just feels bringing any new manager in at this point would likely upset the balance, they're going to want to implement new things and change others, Just feel best not to rock the boat anymore right now and maybe the current remaining backroom team deserve to see the rest of the season out and keep things running as they have been whilst we're still in serious contention for a play off spot, then bring in a new head coach in the summer But obviously If our form plummets and we fall away then yeh roll the dice and bring someone new in sooner

Just happy for the travelling fans after such a wanky week

Sorry I posted this elsewhere before spotting this post. But as I said elsewhere.... I can see it now....

I can see it now...

Why did Bennie Mccarthy just enter my thoughts 🙈

Was just about to say fk it get Mark Hughes back, but just seen he himself has just been appointed manager at Carlisle in the last few days

What's that then? Odbods like you making defisive know it all remarks 😴 😴 😴

Fk him, just another in a long list of wankers that think the grass will be greener on the other side. We've lost far better managers and players to "ambition" they rarely meet those ambitions once leaving here though. My money says he won't last 12 months at derby.
