Filberts lovechild Posted 14 June 2023 Share Posted 14 June 2023 2 and half weeks and no news from the club. The whole hierarchy needs changing, we need a new manager, we need 20+ players out the club and 20+ in. Where’s the strategy, where’s the people at the top showing that they can manage the situation? Everyone left in the dark. Doesn’t bode well for the start of the season does it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my opinion is based on the fact I only really watch them when we play them and I find it dull as we don’t get a look in and it’s just all their possession. I’m not saying that doesn’t make them the best team in the world right now, but I personally don’t enjoy watching them play! Personally I loved our 2016 style and nothing will beat that for me. And even in the Premier League era, I’d put him behind SAF. I’m sure you’ll tell me my opinion is wrong there as well despite it being an opinion…. Your opinion is wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 14 June 2023 Share Posted 14 June 2023 I really hope it's not a case of us waiting on the ST renewal deadline to announce a manager that that they know will didapoint the fans. I don't want to believe that we have so little regard for our supporters but if we announce someone like Parker or Smith at 5pm today then I'll truly believe that, that's exactly what they've done.

I struggle with the notion that the club would wait all this time just to give it to Parker over Smith. Both of those feel the same type of appointment - highly likely to get us promoted but dull and uninspiring. I'm pretty certain Smith was available, so why hold out several weeks for Parker? Only logical thing in my head is that they have an feeling a left field appointment was possible, but take a bit more time to secure. In the event that this appointment didn't work out, Smith is the fall back but they needed another fallback in the event that Smith threw in the towel at some point (which bearing in mind he took the last 8 games and has been left waiting, is highly likely). If Smith says no, then Parker is the fall back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the walls of the corridor there will be portraits of Graham Potter, Steven Gerrard, Scott Parker, Kieran McKenna, Adi Hutter, etc. The soundrack will be commentary of our goals against Wolves and West Ham. When he reaches the end of the corridor, Smith will turn around and flick the Vs with both hands and the portraits he's just walked past, before turning back around and heading out onto the pitch, at which point it will fade to black and the audio will fade into Dr Dre's 'The Next Episode'. It will win next season's 'Best Manager Reveal Video' prize at the annual Football Marketing Awards and it will be the only thing we win next season.

We aren't in the position to go for the lazy choice the board have heard of and just throwing the promise of Premier League football at them - at least for now. We'll be looking at someone who can get us promoted and keep us back in the Premier League, so a builder is on the agenda. Bob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's the latter but it'll depend on how much control Potter wants because we've just come out of that sort of mess with Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've interpreted this as a softening in his stance and are convinced he's on the brink of agreeing to a five-year contract. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankMarvin Posted 14 June 2023 Share Posted 14 June 2023 40 minutes ago, The Doctor said: Dull and Boring? What on earth do you consider exciting then? Guardiolas teams are expected to be comfortable in possession and capable of pulling apart low blocks, but it's a a high intensity style of play with a focus on counter pressing high up the pitch. It's a great blend of pressing football and possession football, basically what we played a budget version of in autumn 2019. It isn't the suicide by a thousand passes that Rodgers reverted to Not every assistant that works under pep automatically becomes a great manager, I’d say it was imperative that whoever is appointed knows how to get out the division.
