I know trying to get MON back is ridiculous, but the stick MON gets on here is stupid. Maybe, as fans, we get what we deserve? (i.e. Shit for many years).

The only thing worse than MON's character was his football. Given the amount of money he was given he probably ranks as our most tactically clueless manager. And the twat was always saying how bloody "exceptional" we were. WTF.

"We beat the Rags 5-1". Big fucking deal. We were Top 3 spenders or there about for most of his time here.

What utter crap.

I'm hoping we stop the comitee, I'm sure Sherwood couldn't be trusted but if you're putting a manager in charge then you should let them bring in their own targets

Quite Phil What is the point. of having a manager if you are going work like that . Might as well let the coach do it and save the Manager's salary.

maybe as others have pointed out in an 'Unsolved Mysteries' kind of way, they were Garde's picks all along?

I have no doubt that if Garde wants to join us and we want him a deal will be struck. Money will change hands as compensation is agreed and we will get our man. Everything else is noise and speculation. He ticks every box that the club would be looking for and I am sure without being any kind of ITK that he'll be our manager.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact he's not gone elsewhere in the past for the same reasons apparently

How do you mean, bad? Are you not going to be able to warn us any more. I really would miss your Woe, Woe and thrice Woe.
My fear is around which sane , quality manager would come? I think we are very much in what i would call a sub prime managerial search , or someone unhinged like Pearson or Ranieri
Do you ever engage your brain before posting?
What it means is you want to dish abuse you will get it back. If you can't take it don't dish it .

Let's say that everybody has got their swift, below-the-belt punch in and we all move on.

Philippe Auclair seemed pretty sure that it was still going to happen and that he's going to be our next manager.

The Ranieiri that is currently doing very well at Leicester - I tipped them for the bottom 5 but he has clearly done something right there.

I hope plan B for Garde is sensible. A lurch from Garde to Pearson would be into Martinez to McLeish territory.

I asked you if you engaged your brain because you'd given a ridiculous example of pairing Ranieri with Pearson and calling him (Ranieri) unhinged - which you've conveniently edited out by the way.

You reply is to call me special needs, which unless things have changed since I was living in the UK was a particularly nasty insult for anyone with learning disabilities.

Now given that my son is autistic, and there are several other posters on here with children with either autism or ADHD type diagnoses, plus several posters, myself included, who have been quite open in the past about suffering from depressive illnesses, that is definitely abuse, not just to me, but to a fair few people on here and a good chunk of society in general.  Putting a wanky smiley at the end of a post doesn't alter it.  Or maybe it was missing a comma?

I asked, and have asked on several occasions questions as to your intellect, based on your at times absurd posts and happily admit at times to have done it in a quite condescending manner.

Now can you figuratively go and find a dictionary to look up the difference between abuse and an insult, but don't run accidentally run down any traffic police on your way to the library.

And if I really wanted to abuse you you'd know about it.

EDIT - Sorry Dave (moderator).  Had already posted before I saw your post.

I'll try and ignore his posts from now on.

That Gourcennec guy reading his history looks like a pretty decent shout if Garde doesn't take it.

Ignoring the last sentence, he sounds good - http://www.espnfc.co.uk/blog/espn-fc-united-blog/68/post/2291796/jocelyn-gourvennec-guingamps-answer-to-jurgen-klopp

Dwight Yorke is doing his coaching badges, has a feel for the club and reckons he can do no worse than Sherwood.

Er Yes you can Dwight - see Terry Connor at Wolves.

Obviously would like to hear and understand those fans calling for a 'Villa' Man to be put in charge as to whether Yorkie fits the profile.

You don't throw a student driver the keys to your Rolls Royce.

Flores at Watford would do well in our current setup. Head coach style and all that.

We are in no position to take chances at this time. Out of all the names above, Moyes is the only person that would guarantee us staying up this year.
