To do list if you were appointed as new manager

[DaveD]

For me I would play Sidwell and Coker together in CM. Then play Ireland ahead of them as attacking mid. We need to protect our back four better, and that needs two players with the bite and energy to do that. Stan gets overrun too easily. I think we can use him at home, but away from home we needed some added energy and legs. Sidwell's pretty pants, but he's full of energy, and never stops running. Just let him and Cokes look after the back four, then Ireland, Young, Albrighton/Downing can provide the flair.

Yes, yes and thrice yes.

[Phil from the upper holte]

There was indeed some sense in there, but making NRC captain?  Not a chance.  He really isn't a very good footballer at all.

He's vocal and I think he's much improved under Mac

I think the splinters in his arse are no longer infected.

He is the toughest midfielder we have

1) I would tell Randy that the fans deserve better than the shite off and on the pitch they have been served up and as a gesture of goodwill should put the new crappy home kit on sale for £20 adults and £10 kids.

2) Introduce to Beye, Davies, Sidwell and Heskey what the white sphere shaped object is being kicked around the field.

3) Select a new Club Captain - should be Dunne but needs to shed that timber thats appeared suddenly.

4) Give all the players a chance to play and take squad assessment from there.

5) Place permanent scouts on every continent.

6) Play at least one youth player (Clark, Baker, Lowry, Lichaj, Hogg, Wieman, Fonz) for the last 15mins of every game.

7) Rotate the god damn squad.

Introduce the revolutionary process of dropping a player thats playing poorly for the 2nd successive game.

9) Introduce the even more revolutionary process of rotating players when needed.

10) Bring some continental flair players into the club unlike Routledge, Harewood, Heskey, Shorey, Salifou.

11) Drop EVERY cup game in the early rounds to £10 adults and £5 kids. 

[Lambert and Payne]

Drop Stan and Ashley - put in Ireland and Sidwell
Make Dunne do a forest gump and just go running
Let our strikers and midfielders know that there career isnt going to end if they have one long shot
Stop hoofing the ball in the air, play some football!!
Drop the fucking french and get to our football club!

[Fuse]

Keep Ashley Young, Gabby, Albrighton, Delph, Ireland, Collins and Cuellar. Give Dunne a month to get in shape or f' him off.

Sell the rest and reaplce them over the enxt 18 months with particualr focus on getting a striker to play with Gabby and findign a midfield blend that means we don;t get walked all over every game and that has the guile to provide the ammunition to score goals.

We are back to square one in my opinion in that the whole squad needs an over haul and MON's team needs breaking up.
