Short interview he did yesterday with BBC Oxford

 

The island of hair separating from the rest is giving me Steve McLaren vibes

The constant looking at the floor is giving me Joey Barton vibes.

On that basis…it’s a no from me.

I definitely play Anis over Sam Bell. Anis played well in the last game and Bell has been poor for a few games now.

Oh yeah, get a popular fan in who they’ve used for PR in the past.

I bet Paxman is shitting himself

My god, yet another needless thread started, give it a rest Dave

Given your username, I thought this thread would have been up your street.

Told ya.

So who is?

There’s people are this forum who are saying they wouldn’t take Ten Hag as manager.

 I don’t think we really know best. I would suggest because Nige is so popular, this will be the most divisive appointment for a long time.

Please refer to my post last night on page 10. 
Derby did have a decent team. But they lost their strike force (Vydra, Jerome, Weimann), a stalwart midfielder (Ledley) and a reliable full back (Baird). 
It wasn’t a straight forward matter that they’d finish in the same position the next year. 
You also put a lot of impetus on the Mount & Tomori signings. They were 19 and were new to this level of football. Good players, yes. But still virgins at this level. I assume that us having Scott & Semenyo last year means we should have made the playoffs, because clearly 2 premier league players should make all the difference? 
 

 

Anyway, it’s not gonna be Lampard. I know someone who has applied for the job who has worked here before. And I think it might be him. 

You’re not saying because you’re worried about @Fordy62’s health, right?

2 and a half years. Cut the age budget and we are looking up the table as opposed to when he come in.

So no. Harshly sacked.

Yeah but he had the luxury of having a talented academy and bringing in good players like Rob Dickie.

Context - they finished 6th - in the play-offs the season before. So he didnt "take" them anywhere - they were already ay that level.

Even with chelsea loans, he couldnt improve them at all.

You do realise you don’t automatically stay in the same position just because you finished there the year before?

Too big? no one said that?

Is he a good manager? has he done anything other than fail? no.

Nothing to do with club size.

Getting a top 4 spot and to a play off final is an achievement, whether you like it or not. No, it’s not winning a World Cup or Champions league.

@phantom confirmed a few days ago there were BS employees signing up using emails that included their own full name.

The funny thing is it’s been edited to leave what they think are Crayon Boys best bits.

Think about what the unedited version is like.

I imagine it was about 30mins of Jon crying and Steve slapping him telling to man up and do what daddy tells you to do.

Two minute video of North Korea TV.

Keep ******* off Lansdown.

More likely he’s been told not to go on. This is all about control by the owners and letting Tinnion answer questions even slightly candidly is not what they would want right now. Damage limitation supposedly but not coming out and talking to the fans directly might suggest they actually realise how unpopular this decision has been.

I agree. Just there was no need to reply to a fan like that. 
 

He’s got into bed with the Lansdown so he needs to deal with the fall out now.

That’s fine. They can have Holden as long as they leave Cotts alone. Cotts might have actually got them going.

Just now, Rocky said:

 

Arrogant smug ****. 
 

Basically just doesn’t want to.

Anyone seen Brian Tinnion’s Bollocks?

14 minutes ago, petehinton said:

Do you seriously think doing that would’ve made any difference to the decision that was made yesterday?

The same amount it would do, or less? 
 

I don’t expect the Lansdown to suddenly change tact because of the trust. My point is, the statement, however good, why not and not before?

Just now, Dollymarie said:

Believe me, we try. It’s a one way street. 

You’ve come out with a statement/open letter today. This could have been done months ago about the way the club is being ‘ran’.

Talk about jumping on bandwagon and after the horse has bolted etc.

You could have been more challenging months ago when it was clear was happening and there was zero comms from the club.
