Central midfield and what we're learning game by game
Magicdaps replied to Prinny's topic in Football Chat
Bakinson looks like a proper, proper footballer. I've been so impressed with him so far this season. IMHO it's therefore very exciting to think we have both Joe M & Joe W plus Liam to come in to that midfield. I think we're in a good place. -
How Eric Dier gets so many caps is beyond me.

Can't be a wind up. He's being honest.

Sad news mate. My condolences to you and your family. I hope you don't mind me calling you mate as we don't know each other but the familiarity caused by seeing the names of regular posters on OTIB makes you feel genuinely sad when you hear this kind of news. RIP fellow red.

I'm confused. Is this a BDSM confessional or not.

I get what you're saying along with the wider point that you're making but is that really all that much different to the current rolling 12mth deal. A 3 year deal with a termination clause which presumably wouldn't be more than 12mths anyway is essentially the same thing isn't it? (Assuming the rolling 12mths doesn't have a reduced term termination clause of some kind in it) You could of course also argue that a rolling 12mth deal has the potential to far exceed a standalone 3yr deal.

To be a fly on the wall in those meetings.... If true then that would make MA the fall guy rather than the villain in this instance which puts things in a slightly different light. Not defending MA btw, just following the logic.

DH knows he wasn't the popular choice (understatement I know!) but appears to have a strong amount of goodwill behind him in the "Deano is a top bloke" kind of way. I'd echo those sentiments...he comes across as an honest straightforward guy. It's also clear that the current discontent isn't aimed at him directly, he's merely a byproduct of it which will work in his favour (or at least not against him) in the very short term. He also must know that he's unlikely to get many (any?) more chances like this so he has to be pretty determined to go play the kind of attacking football which will p

Excellent. Does this mean we can keep the Hughton thread open indefinitely? Can you imagine how many pages we'll reach if we're given another 6-8 mths to go at it!

The worst thing for me about this entire "process" is that it's left me feeling completely apathetic towards something that i'm used to feeling so passionate about.

I think this has been leaked to GMG with the comment about the weekend to decide intentionally included. The club know that the reaction will be negative, in some cases in the extreme. They also know that DH isn't actually the target of the fury and vitriol. 48hrs allows general acceptance and apathy to set in or it gives all parties a get out clause if things turn really ugly and DH doesn't feel comfortable walking into what could potentially be a very toxic "opportunity" for him.
-
I would tend to agree. Just trying to find some logic to put my mind at rest!

I've not read the entire 31 pages of this thread but could the club be leaking this story in order to gauge fans opinion. If so then the response is pretty overwhelmingly negative, not in terms of DH as a person as I think he's pretty universally liked or perhaps more accurately he's not universally disliked which are obviously different things. What is clear is that he's clearly lacking any real support. Against this backdrop would the club appoint him as they surely can't totally dismiss such a lack of support. I appreciate they aren't basing any decision solely on OTIB but surely they m

I'd be happy with Cook as he was in my personal top 3 from the start but I always thought he wouldn't be polished or statesmanlike enough for the Bristol Sport brand (I know, horrible word) and perhaps a little abrasive. I'm genuinely intrigued to see what he can do with what must be the most talented squad he will of had at his disposal throughout his career plus presumably he'll have a budget which will be bigger than he's used to having (this is an assumption so I could be wrong) He strikes me as an honest guy who would grab the opportunity with both hands and give it his all.

If only... I do quite like grapes though.
