We need a manager that can organise a back 4, understand how to not leave the side completely open through the middle, and exploit the attacking ability of Grealish, while attracting a couple of players up to that can actually score. We still lack pace horribly, we still don't run enough, we still don't close down crosses properly. Who that is I have no idea, but our owners have to sell the vision to whoever it is and make sure they know what they are doing. I would love Rafa but Purslow isn't going to do that. Poch is a pipe dream that just won't happen. I genuinely wonder whether Terry with an experienced number 2 might be a bit more motivating to the players.
Oh, and please no more unknown gambles like Remi fucking Garde.
If we are to make a change, it should be with one thing in mind and nothing else - survival. I don’t give a tinkers cuss about playing it out from the back, all I want from this next 5 months is winning football, by any means.If that means Allardyce coming in to organise and ruffle a few feathers, so be it. I’ll bet the appointment of Pearson went down like a shit sandwich with Watford fans, but fcuk me they’re looking a lot better now with him in charge.
