Next manager?

[SirSteveUK]

that's because he doesn't COACH the U23 - Mark Delaney does - and he does a bloody good job.

[The_ads]

That was the ridiculous thing today. I know MacDonald is fatally discredited as a first team manager but to set us up like that in a definition-of-insanity, Bruce esque manner was pathetic.

I don't get how he can be so good with the U-23s and so criminally abysmal with the first team.

Looking forward to 1030pm. That’s when then following days sports stories break. We’re bound to have some column inches

Correct.

Delaney should get a chance next time we change managers.

Mac knows he has no chance of getting it full time so I suggest it was an air of getting the game out of the way from top to bottom.

Yes, it’s bizarre. I (naively) had high hopes when he stepped in after MON left, assuming that the good work he had done with the kids would translate into good first team management. How wrong can you be.

Have heard Moyes  has removed his name from the vacancy.

Say what you want about David Moyes

OK then.  David Moyes is really shit and had as much chance of getting the job as me.

Your to complacent thinking we will pick a manager out of the good box this time no problem

when there is every chance of us picking another duffer out of the shit box, including Alardyce, Moyes and the Pardews of this world

I won't rest easy until it's all been settled,
I haven't got your confidence that they won't do something giganticaly stupid...........again

Was Christian Purslow at Liverpool same time as Brendan Rogers ?

No, Benitez era.

He's the one that bought in Hodgson

Say what you want about David Moyes but this is an indication of just how difficult the Villa job really is.

Or that he knows he’s got no chance, so he’s trying the save face.

I think when almost 100% of fans polled don’t want you it’s a wise move.

OK BFS for us in that case.

It might be a wise move, my point was it doesn’t give any indication of the difficulty of the job.

I think I would like Wilder if he would come I think he would I instill a more determined attitude into the team.

I think I would like Wilder if he would come I think he would I instill a more determined attitude into the team.

Sheffield United is a club that in recent years has been solidly Championship-level, with occasional forays into the leagues above or below. I like Wilder but all he's really done is to restore their equilibrium. I think we need a bit more at the minute.

Edit: IF he'd come?! He'd fucking well come if we asked him!
