Being a name is all that matters in this day and age Disagree. It can help you get a job getting a job is what we are talking about here! :lol: Good point :lol: oh dear at me. Of course Stam for example being a name could help him get a job, that was in my mind. But we didn't sack Brian because he'...

genome Quique Sanchez Flores please

Decent shout.

Sadly I doubt he would even come here tho...

Winston Smith

AthleticoSpizz ....on paper, Stam has no relevant credentials

Disagree. It can help you get a job but not stay in one.

The most important thing is the same as it has always been, results.

You could say that about most first time managers though, sometimes you have to give people a chance.

Every manager, good or bad, has to be given a chance to start somewhere.

windermere_royal Right last time, and right this time

At least it gave all the fanboys the chance to moan and bump this dinosaur of a thread and moan some more.

Horrible end to a horrible season. I've very little interest in this football club anymore. I've lost interest since Brian returned tbh, but the interest has rekindled somewhat over the past couple of weeks due to the season being over. Can't say I'm not interested in what happens next, I just hope...

Funny as fcuk thread lads, interesting to someone who isn't too regular like myself to see how deep this shit goes. :lol: EPs posts made me laugh, particularly the quote below, I even know what the Mentalist's response will be and it depresses me a bit that I have such weak lameness etched into my b...

I would choose Stam or Bergkamp over Giggs, assuming we can't get Pearson or anyone better.

SCIAG Pearson might actually be one of the better candidates available, but he's half the manager that McDermott is.

Stupidest thing I've read all day.

Lower West

RoyallyFcuked So based on your logic, people like Aitor Karanka at management?

Was assistant manager at Real Madrid. Which suggests above average pedigree. Whether he cuts it in the premiership only time will tell.

So? No reason why we can't get someone with no track record but above average pedigree.

Clarke improved our defence but destroyed our attack. McDermott slightly improved things from the back end of Clarke's spell and produced some really good performances from the team. We saw big improvements from several individuals, most notably Al-Habsi. I see no reason to believe that sacking McD...

I would be in exactly the same camp. If you think 6 months, 1 January transfer window is enough to rebuild a squad shattered of confidence then you are deluded. He should have been given the summer and then a minimum of 15 games into the season. Not saying it is, but there were signs of improvment ...

Let's pretend for a minute that another manager had come in and done exactly what Brian has done since he has been back. Would we be saying this guy deserves a chance to build a squad over the summer? Or would we be saying lets start afresh in the summer and give someone else with new ideas a chanc...

I'm worried for Top Flight.... Rumour has it that he (predictably) didn't take the news too well, and promptly launched himself off a cliff upon hearing it. We won't be seeing him on here again. I don't know what to say... I'm gutted. That rumour I heard can't have been true then. Glad to see that ...

Seriously, all this refunds on season tickets business. Who do you support - the former manager or the club? This. The OTT meltdown over the departure of the limited one is all too predictable, as his employment clearly means more to some than the results and performances of the team. I've supporte...

Armadillo Roadkill Seriously, all this refunds on season tickets business.

This.

Rusty royal Pre-season tour of Holland on the cards You heard it here first Stamm and Bergkamp

That would be funny.
