I discounted that one because they were shit (they also add nothing to my Wagner and Dyche point).

If it's not a problem I'd like to know who that was because I'm really interested in what sort of shortlist they managed to put together last time.

Fuck it. Pearson.

Two out of three ain't bad, if you're inclined to be charitable. Which I'm not. Jesus wept.

To be charitable, he was ruled out very quickly.

I thought as much.  What that tells me is that the 4 names which regularly appeared on here the day RDM was sacked are the 4 they spoke to.  Add to that some of the recruitment where people on here talked about Lansbury and Hourihane and then we signed them makes me think that sometimes the club just looks to see what the fans want and goes along with it when it comes to signings, McCormack felt like it last summer as well.

The club have an individual whose job it is to read shit here and elsewhere on the Internet.  And report back to the board every Monday.

Of course they do, I expect any decent sized club does, my concern is that all to often something that a post on here (or elsewhere) highlights as being obvious and that gets loads of support suddenly happens to be exactly what the club choose to do.  It's something that we've seemed to do a few times in the last 5-6 years.

Jokanovic or Sean Dyche.


I'm not sure either of them would fancy quitting their current jobs to come to us. Especially Dyche dropping down from the PL. Dean Smith would probably fancy it. Maybe Allardyce or Warnock could be tempted by one last big job.

Dyche would have taken the loot and come last season but wouldn't do it on a "promotion or bust" contract. Jokanovic is pissed off at Fulham and might very well be happy to jump ship. Fuck me, we could have had Wagner if we were prepared to have the promotion clause but not until this season.

But we didn't.  We gambled on "take any old shot as long as it is well paid", promotion specialist, Bruce and still didn't exercise our right to fuck him off with minimal pay off at the end of last season anyway. It's a shambles.

Bloody hell

Holy fuck. He seems about as far from Wagner as you can get.

Did they inherit Lerner's random manager selection device as part of the takeover deal?

I'll take your Pearson and raise you a Steve Bruce. Mad as a hatter he may be but he was no idiot when it came to football.

Leicester won the league you know. Let us excitability wank about how he kept them up. Or such was the message at that time. The other 2 were well thought out candidates and light years ahead of the duffer we got even if he is a nice bloke.

I'm not that sold on Wagner. Huddersfield just seemed jammy as fuck to get promoted, just as Chelsea were jammy as fuck to win the European Cup. He'd have used up all his luck before joining us just like Di Matteo did.

I recognise this is superstitious nonsense but it makes sense in my brain.

I'd be pretty happy with Dyche if we can't get Mad Marcelo.

Dyche would have us moaning exactly as we have done from MON through Houllier, McLeish, Lambert, Bruce etc. He's meat and spuds. We're already fat.

To be fair, Huddersfield were there and thereabouts pretty much all season and with all due respect to them, it is Huddersfield.  I might be totally wrong and he might fail spectacularly, but I suspect there will be a few clubs eyeing him up should they not make a particularly good start and part company with their manager early.

25 jammy wins, and opening win in the top flight. I wish we were that lucky.
