Jim Gannon??

Good OP. Might be on to something but time will tell. Let’s see how we go for the rest of this month. Plenty of games coming up so we will know plenty about where we heading after the Xmas period is over.

I agree. Sadly the cretins who make the decisions at our club don’t appreciate these sorts of things . This is why they thought Lee Johnson was a good appointment. I always felt Johnson was ok tactically but was a shit motivator and man manager , evidenced by him throwing players under the bus and never taking responsibility himself for poor performances. I wouldn’t be surprised if i look back on the appointment of Manning the same way in years to come.

They need to back him in January or at the latest next summer with a couple of quality forwards or we will keep going round in circles. mehmeti and cornick are hopeless. Or have been to date. Weiman and wells getting on now and won’t be getting any better so now is the time.

Mehmeti offers jack shit so that isn’t saying much frenchay!!!

I’ve had a guts full of Mehmeti now. Offers absolutely f all for me. Cornick is ok coming on when we are defending a lead but he is woeful when we need a goal and a spark. what a dreadful second half performance against a Southampton side who have good players but are underperforming due to their crap manager

Personally I’m expecting a top half finish minimum this season. frankly if we have a squad capable of top 6 according to the powers at be at the club and they appoint a coach they are convinced is a stand out , exciting candidate to the role who takes the reigns with us in the top half but then goes on to take us to a bottom half finish I will be f in livid. how stupid would BT and the board look then.

It’s almost as if the club have been telling us untruths

The incident Saturday was just inside the box. Should of been a penalty regardless of a red card or not.

He’s particularly patient with head coaches more so than managers. His wallet is more open for HCs as well.

Well between now and May we will see if the change was worth it or not ie. Will the new man improve us or take us backwards. going to be fascinating watching it unfold.

They hired him to sort out the mess made by their previous shit appointments . A mess which was financial and also on the pitch. once he’d done all the heavy lifting and got us on an even keel the shithouses sacked him, denying him the chance to push on. so yes they do suck.

Brilliant post. I can’t wait for the resetting of expectations shall we do a sweepstake on when this might come??

It was a stupid statement but it was made out of desperation. Desperation to justify the sacking of someone who didn’t deserve it.

Surely all those of accounts get their maximum stakes cut severely once they win on these markets?? only mug punters are allowed to bet big these days.

Yes if we improve I will give them all the credit they deserve. they have made a big call and it will be interesting to see how it pans out

I’m seething nige was sacked but I’m not going to put unfair pressure on the new man . BUT by the end of this season I’ll be expecting him to keep us in the top half as we are now and like you say start scoring a few more goals. Especially at home. if we end up with no improvement at all I will be blaming tinnion and the lansdowns for their decisions.

Apparently we already have a top 6 squad. if there is another churn of players then that makes sacking Pearson even more brainless. I thought we haven’t got much money

The next incumbent will be cut Johnson levels of slack and will be backed heavily as well. If this one goes t1ts the lansdowns are going to look stupider than ever and they’ll move heaven and earth to try and make sure that it doesn’t happen.

If it’s Monday then it’s surprising we’ve had no word from any journos . All weve had is fan social media rumours and media just rehashing the betting markets. could mean it’s someone from abroad if it’s that imminent and still no one’s any wiser Manning sounded like he wasn’t close to leaving on the radio tonight.

Mersons got the situation bang off. if Lampard was never in the picture it would of been better for us to come out and say that.

That’s how I see it as well. He was good today though

Exactly. No excuse to claim it’s the tannoys

Just click bait though. They aren’t trying to give it credence mate. By discussing the betting odds they aren’t making any fanciful claims that could make them look daft down the line.

I have done but all I can see is papers saying that he is bookies favourite and discussing the betting odds. I can’t see anything where they say that they understand from sources that a deal is on the cards.
