Manager for next season

[aj2k77]

Or maybe the person they want doesn't want to join right now. It doesn't mean they are employed. Why associate yourself with the depressing tail end of a season when instead you can take control when it's a lot calmer at the end?

On the flipside, anyone coming in has essentially 4 free games where they can get a good idea of who is worth keeping and who needs to be shoved into a mincer.

I'll help them out here and save them some time.

Take a look at the team sheet from today. If his name was on it they are shit and should be sold.

Job done.

Very true. I would hazard a guess that anyone interested in the job, on our shortlist would have been studying up in recent weeks/months to get an idea on the state of our squad. 1-2 candidates will probably take their name out the running because of the shit they've seen.

Mirror are running that it's all on hold until Randy confirms next season's budget. Surely that's total rubbish? Hollis and King will know by now what the budget is going to be next season I am very very sure. And will have had an indication from Lerner what he will put in. I am filling that one under filler.

Mail on Sunday are running that it is Moyes we want and will hold out for.

[Villafirst]

If the Lerner thing has any truth in it  (it wouldn't surprise me) then he really is an arsehole. Still no word from him even in this crisis which is a disgrace in its self. I wish he'd just fuck off.

Mail reckon we want Moyes then say we still have to persuade him. I hope we get Moyes but it sounds like they actually haven't got a clue.

They haven't got a clue based on what the Mail says or do you mean the Mail haven't got a clue?

If Moyes is holding out until he gets a transfer budget guaranteed as part of his contract then good for him.

If I had to put my money down, I think I'd be erring towards both of the above.

Please let this be true.

It mentioned McCarthy as well but I'm going to erase that from my memory and pretend I didn't read it.

Moyes.   Yawn.  Not the man to inspire or get us up.

If it was only Randy and Fox or Faulkner making the next big decision I'd agre entirely. I think the football side of our board have probably narrowed things down to a few names and it's now about getting that person in. The Moyes speculation, the first in a few weeks of pretty much being linked to a number of people nobody really wants is at least encouraging. Let's hope there's some substance to it.

Did someone say Mick McCarthy?

Honestly I find this attitude bizarre. If we got Moyes, having just been relegated, it would be a big statement.

And first order of business he would make us tougher to beat and more resolute. He'd also get in players who want to play for the team.
