It's a shame he's being written off by some before he's even been appointed.

I think he looks a little like Remi Garde , which doesn't do him any favours,  if he can get a significant number of his own players in 6 min Imo we will have a chance of good season next year, I don't think we can underestimate the effect of last year's struggle will have on the remaining squad.

Every manager we look at will be the same. No one will meet with universal approval. We are all absolutely desperate to get back up and no one can guarantee it. It's a gamble.

I agree, get rid ASAP. He's worse than Ads.

I suppose it would be cheaper to sack him before he is appointed.

We should - 4 years pay off (Lerner is still in charge, right?)

Anyone writing off Di Matteo's Champions League win as nothing to do with him must have a rather low opinion of Tony Barton.


You could argue Barton was lucky to inherit Saunders' team and that the secret to the win was in the dressing room..?


Ron gave them the team talk after he left when he said they were so well drilled a trained monkey could manage them.
same as pearsons title winning leicester team

Exactly the same - other than the fact one example was over a handful of games and the other was over an entire season.

In other words, not even remotely similar

Those knocking the likes of McCarthy and Pearson need to have a wakeup call and be realistic about the position we currently find ourselves in.  If we were still a top flight club then maybe we could set our sights higher, but as it stands I think we are more likely to drop another division than return to the PL.  Given that I think our options are limited, and managers of their irk maybe as good as we could hope for right

Yet you're the one knocking a manager who has a record that Pearson and McCarthy won't match if they manage for the next hundred years.

To be fair, Dave, there probably won't be another manager in the next 1000 years that will match RDM's record of winning the Champion's League and FA Cup inside 2 months.

I can separate the humble man who'd worked for years with the group from the lucky man that sat back and let Terry and Lampard run the show, then screamed "I did it!" Like a demented 5 year old at a clearly unimpressed oligarch.

A friend of mine reminded me a couple of days ago that he knows the father of Ross Turnbull  who was at Chelsea in the season when they won the Champions League. He will try and find out from his son what RDMs style of management was like when he was there. I must admit I can only vaguely recall a player called Ross Turnbull. A centre back I think. Or maybe not.

Turnbull was the goalie on the bench when they won the Champions League.

Do you have a shrine to the man? Is it his hair? The look in his eye? Him not condeming his son telling a Thai hooker to stick her face in his arse cheeks while he farted on her on video on a promotional tour? His throttling of an opposition player? His blatant arrogance with the media? The man is a total arsehole. You need to get over your devotion conman.

the most recent proven people at this level are Steve Bruce, Neil Warnock and Ian Holloway. I don't imagine these lot are on H&V's most wanted list...
