Manager for next season

[SoccerHQ]

Percy is running it too, although he adds that the football league have issues with some making up Tony the Tigers board. Ie they think Samuelson is a crook probably.

They also run Newton as assistant. No talk of Holland, who in fairness would be the bigger coup than Newton.

Him and Newton played together for Chelsea in 90s (indeed both scored in 97 cup final although of course the only goal anyone remember is RDM's after 40 seconds).

He's followed RDM pretty much everywhere. Think he's still at Chelsea.

Not sure who else has made up his backroom staff at other clubs. They'll be easier to get than Pearson's entourage.

From my mate who is a tesco bag season ticket holder "Yeah man loved Robbie... Attacking football with little focus on defence... Helped that we had odemwingie and lukaku though! You score... We score more than you approach."
Not exactly the approach that'd suit us with the squad we have but I'd be happy enough to be honest.

Grealish, Traore and Gil might prosper though. Get in another Striker and if Ayew stays we might enjoying seeing us score more than once a month.

Gil won't cut it in the Championship. He isn't cut out for English football I'm afraid

Probably. The drop in pace might suit him a little better though. He also needs to do his work further forwards.

He had Atillio Lombardo and some guy called Battara at Schalke.

Is that meant to be a joke?

He's not good enough.

Shirley Demateo our new manager? Never heard of her. Xia out, conman and a chancer.

I've heard of conman

This not good enough thing.  Gil ams Grealish look completely different against lower league sides. They will be much more effective than you think.

We're in the championship were not getting a Top class manager let's face it. He'll do for me he got Albion up

[cdbearsfan]

If we get Di Matteo we will be getting a top class manager.

I'm happy enough with him

Or at least someone who could well become one, I don't think he's had a job for long enough, for different reasons, for anyone to be sure but he is already as good as pretty much anyone else we could attract and, for me, has far fewer limitations.  I think a lot of people on here seem to have very strong opinions about him for very little reason that I can see and I don't really understand it.
