Hope JDT is the man for the job. Seems like a nice chap. Hopefully not too nice.

'Probably the least signings in the world...'

Oh there will be signings but leaving it late means you've missed the best players on offer and the players you bring in are panic buys at the last minute. Minimum of two centre backs, a right back, midfielder and 2 strikers are badly needed. I can see the club finish 13th or worse this season. The way the club is run is a farce.

BBD is going to be sold almost certainly I'd say. IMO its been a disastrous off season to date.

Josh Cullen would be a great buy for the club.

I'm predicting a bottom half finish if not a relegation fight. Best players leaving and nobody coming in. I can imagine the poor standard of replacements that will come in.

Awful. They should give 4 or 5 options every season and let fans vote for their favourite

Last season was the first time in donkeys years (maybe 94/95) felt all the kits were beautiful. Not liking the sounds of the new ones.

I thought he has brought his own number 2

Anyone else think he should have a local assistant manager at least as a number 3? Just someone who is familiar with the division

Some footballers are a disgrace to their craft. They will be wasters and never amount to anything.

With Jon Dahl Tomasson will we be in contention for promotion or will it be a transition period or worse relegation dogfight?

is it too late or could he be persuaded to stay by JDT? Middlesbrough are a fairly mediocre team. He'd be better off at Ewood.

Could Darragh Lenihan yet stay with this new appointment or is he off to Boro?

Its certainly a formation that has been confined to the history books. Leicester played it in 2016 under Ranieiri. Not many play it anymore.

That tactical analysis of JDT teams is vague and short on detail to say the least! ''He plays 4-4-2 and favours devastating attacks''.

Reminds me of David Dein going into the Arsenal dressing room in 1996 and announcing ''Lads, your new manager is Arsene Wenger'' to which Ray Parlour replied ''Who the fuck is that!?''

Alan Pardew now available. Bargain basement time.

Probably Pep Guardiola's assistant manager

I'm your Venus I was fired Your desire

Sven. He has unfinished business here.

Remember it very well. Like it was yesterday. Flicking between Sky Sports and Sky Sports 2. The Redknapp goal was totally insignificant. I dont know why the commentators and whoever else made a big deal of it. With 5 mins or evem more to go it was clear it was all down to Utd getting a winner at Upton Park. Although Shearer should have buried that half volley to put us 2-1 up. What a waste of money!

I was ripping the piss🤣

I hear Wish will be making the kit next season

Alan Shearer. He knows the club and what the fans want.
