I know it's still early days.... But has anybody been impressed by a single thing that Ismael has done(or even said) yet?

Also tbf😣 as cretinous as they are you could argue Pasha & waggot have a decent track record of hiring good managers (just sadly in regards to the last 2 they've quickly jumped ship)

Wonder how long it will take before John Park is again re hired following the new manager then parts way (again) in six months

Agree on every assessment. If that really was the list then it would be 💯 best just to leave it until the summer when there will be more managers available or until someone more promising comes forward

That's why I've been thinking that maybe Gerrard could work even though I'm not really a fan of him overall... But he could have the personality and determination (bit souey esque) to just push us over the line and he can just let the current coaching team keep things as they are for now without any major or changes

Can't believe there's so many that genuinely think Allardyce is the man for the job🙈 He did a average job for us on the whole and his career went on a steady continuous downward slope after leaving us (and became the epitomy of a mercinary)

Big part of me just feels bringing any new manager in at this point would likely upset the balance, they're going to want to implement new things and change others, Just feel best not to rock the boat anymore right now and maybe the current remaining backroom team deserve to see the rest of the season out and keep things running as they have been whilst we're still in serious contention for a play off spot, then bring in a new head coach in the summer But obviously If our form plummets and we fall away then yeh roll the dice and bring someone new in sooner

Just happy for the travelling fans after such a wanky week

Sorry I posted this elsewhere before spotting this post. But as I said elsewhere.... I can see it now....

I can see it now...

Why did Bennie Mccarthy just enter my thoughts 🙈

Was just about to say fk it get Mark Hughes back, but just seen he himself has just been appointed manager at Carlisle in the last few days

What's that then? Odbods like you making defisive know it all remarks 😴 😴 😴

Fk him, just another in a long list of wankers that think the grass will be greener on the other side. We've lost far better managers and players to "ambition" they rarely meet those ambitions once leaving here though. My money says he won't last 12 months at derby.

Logic says put D Johnson in place until the end of the season so that there's as little disruption as possible

As much sympathy as I have for any manager working under the venky circus Id still have zero respect for Eustace if he jumped ship at this stage in the season after all the effort the team have put in to keep us challenging for a play off spot Plus Derbys a shit hole of a club.

Well I think its again going to come down to goal difference to get in the playoffs so hopefully at least one of them has brought his scoring boots because there's quite some catching up to do.

Just put sky's deadline day footage on and can't decide who I find more repugnant and slappable! Michael Dawson or the horrid little goblin sat next to him

I smell another embarrassing pathetic fk up in the air.

Sadly it would have to be Siggy I say sadly because I've nothing against the guy, seems a nice lad but he seems to constantly struggle with his fitness and just doesn't fit into the way we've played. Hope he gets a good move abroad where I think he'll shine if he finds that right club Edit! Actually! I didn't realise Pickering was out for so long, so yeh get him of, ive never rated him much anyway at this level and hopefully ribiero will offer better cover at lb than him

Only kargbo that has the potential to improve our team, the rest are just reliable back up cover at best. (although I don't think Forshaw has anything left to offer at all at this level)

Loan now, pay millions later deals to. As you say what could possibly possibly go wrong

He can't keep using Samba and nelsen as examples. That's just ridiculous. 2 players we signed over 15 years ago! Since that good little era the garbage signings outweigh those few by over 10 to 1.

I Can't imagine compensation being much though (and he could very well move abroad, as many British players do these days)

Chances of Dolan being sold on for a few hundred K now instead of losing him for nothing in the summer!?
