For some it will obviously, some I imagine won't be as fussed, for lads abroad how many of them are actually aware of some of the fellas we're linked with.

Number 6 Posted 13 June 2023 Share Posted 13 June 2023 I know people have been beaten down by watching Rodgers' version of possession football, but we are probably going to be a team with one of the higher average possession percentages next season. Teams will come and try to spoil. The trick is obviously having useful possession and doing something with it. The comments from Fulham fans around not having a lot of shots or anything despite dominating the ball do worry me but their xG stats from the season look reasonable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted 13 June 2023 Share Posted 13 June 2023 I had a dream last night that Scott Parker was in the dugout! It wasn't a particularly good or bad dream - it was just one that saw him on TV pictured on the side of the pitch in that cardy and tidy hair giving out orders from afar to the players! Maybe a weird/accurate premonition?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never a plan to have a permanent manager until after the end of the season so it’s actually 16 days without a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really trust this man who has directly caused a massive income loss through inept contracts and no planning, with taking the ub forward? You must be joking Well that’s a good thing imo. I wouldn’t want him to be a pleasure to deal with for clubs like spurs. Nobody says anything nice about dealing with levy either 🤷♂️ we obviously aren’t a good team to deal with if you’re bargain hunting because we either fleece you or offer you crap or …..fleece you with crap 😂 Edited 13 June 2023 by Lambert09 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoyleFox Posted 13 June 2023 Share Posted 13 June 2023 Have we ever appointed the bookies / twitter favourite to be our manager? I might be clutching at straws (lot of practice this season) but it doesn't seem like we have, always swathes of rumours, and then we announce someone we'd not seen mentioned. And therefore I'm confident it won't be Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outfox the Fox Posted 13 June 2023 Share Posted 13 June 2023 By me, he would. Has done a decent (though not spectacular) job with Blackburn, just missing out on the Play Offs. But you should also take his record with Malmo into consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore what you are seeing on oddschecker, and Betfair, they ain't odds you'd get with a bookie. Neil Lennon, Pochettino and Ange Postecoglou are all the same price as Tomasson. All it means is no one is willing to give bigger odds than what they are offering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nice and all but means nothing if our club is being run into the ground. My word. Read back to the original post, please. Even if we are run into the ground we will still be a club that has won all the domestic trophies. Yes, that's the Premier League, the F.A cup, the league cup, the charity shield, and the quarter-final of the champions league. Had a player with a record that as yet hasn't been broken in Jamey Vardy's eleven from eleven. Please feel free for your comparison.

Whoever we appoint is going to have this problem. I expect at least half of the division to sit deep and counter us both home and away. We'll get complaints of sideways passing football no matter who our manager is. An issue for whoever we bring in is whom the creative players are going to be? Cairney at this level is actually pretty creative so would be a good buy for that reason alone. I imagine we see at least a few Puel like games of 60% possession and 1-0 losses. The trick is to make it the exception rather than the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 13 June 2023 Share Posted 13 June 2023 Bookies odds mean little to nothing, it's just gullible punters throwing money at names they've seen on Twitter or speculation in newspapers who have no more idea than any of us. Sean From Enderby basically got betting suspended on Parker because a load of idiots believed he was somehow in the know. Hutter came down fast last night because he was mentioned a few times on here. Odds reflect where the money is going, not what's going on behind the scenes.

This is absolutely scandalous when you think of turmoil and the need for prep that the new manager will inherit. So much of our downfall just wreaks of key people having their eye off the ball, and the fact that seems to be continuing with the hiring of a new manager is very concerning.
