I don’t think that is a lesson in itself (LVG and Jose proved that).

Keane would be a very entertaining disaster. To be entertained is good with me. And I want someone who would set the pitch on fire or whatever it takes to get the game abandoned rather than lose 5-0 to the dippers. Can’t see us actually winning under Keane but I would love it anyway.

Wenger is the one for me. Wenger until end of the season.
 
People are fecking joking when they’re suggesting Keane and Giggs right? Do not want either of those too thank you very much.

Keane is a dinosaur tactically and the less said about Giggs, the better these days.

LVG and Mourinho proved you don’t hire past it managers. As yet since Fergie we haven’t hire anyone who is right for the job. Mourinho was maybe the only manager that fit the mold but he was off the back of a disaster season for Chelsea.

It's ridiculous on basis of career as managers they are worse than Ole. Ridiculous nostalgic garbage. Get a proper manager in with decent experience, philosophy and a winning mentality.
 
On Streford Paddock's most recent video, both Howson and Jay stated that they have been contacted by "those who would know" stating that there wasn't really a board meeting and that that Ole is already going, it's just a matter of sorting his compensation.

even as someone who was here for SAF time it is starting to be similar to how we have to view Ole. If we have to separate Ole the player from Ole the manager, we have to start separating SAF the manager from SAF the managerial influencer. If he has thrown his support so heavily behind moyes and now ole, he is holding this club back. This club is still trying to recreate that magic that just doesnt exist anymore.

What role does SAF hold, and what is his influence on managerial appointments?

I just don't see what options the Glazers have at this point. Putting in Bodger is going to be a fast route to failure. And when he does fail, he will be the opposite of Ole in terms of shielding them from criticism. He is the mirror image of a club legend - a Liverpool reject.

So they are staring at their lack of road with no feckin idea what to do. Probably have to go Bodger in the end regardless.

It's gone beyond this even being relevant. When there's a maniac in the cockpit smashing up the controls you get them out, not sit there wondering if there's any great pilots around to replace them with.

Good cop, bad cop : 3 years plan. Give them a billion to spend, it could work :wenger:
 
He must be gone, that wave and hands up admission at the end was his way of saying hey, i tried and i am wholly responsible for whats gone on here.
 
i'd take any interim manager right now. gordon strachan or martin oneil would do till summer

It's mainly about appearances though. As long as the fans are happy the money roles in.

To use your analogy it's more like the scene from Airplane where they are on autopilot and going round the cabin quietly asking if anyone knows how to fly a plane.

Ah yes. We get spanked by everyone because of an injury crisis. Amazing that you still can't blame the manager!

:lol: :lol: My apologies for making an observation about the importance of a particular player! I always appreciate when you try to put words in my mouth.
 
We could try Potter. Big upgrade on Ole. Has Brighton playing some good football on a shoestring

Correct. End this nostalgic/sentimental ex-player fetish and move on.

He is clearly the most deluded one here. Even more than this mad winger chap.

"Its a shame that this particular important player has been injured"
"This poster is deluded"

That feels like such a appropriate response to a benign comment.

If thats true, then I don’t get how the club has worked in this situation.

Solskjaer to the amazement of everyone goes on holiday for 9 days. Initially you could buy that him going on holiday means we were about to mutually part company but he actually returns from holiday to take charge for the Watford game, and now they’re going to get rid? Did they feck him off for 9 days thinking they could convince whoever they were going to get in that time and it didn’t work out? (Zidane, Rodgers etc) so therefore he’s in charge for Watford?

Was there a breakthrough late in the day before the Watford game?

It doesn’t make any fecking sense what they’ve done. The only reasonable explanation is they couldn’t convince the guy they wanted for whatever reason during Solskjaers holiday period but only very recently have they made a breakthrough with this guy but it was so close to the Watford game that Solskjaer was going to take charge of that anyway.
