You've got to be on the wind up now. Farke took Norwich up as champions twice. Carvahal failed in the play offs, twice. Yet you think the latter is the better option and the other is the shitty cheap option? Both would be good appointments IMO but to rubbish Farke is mind boggling.

If you look at the squad he inherited at Norwich, and the one he got promoted the season after, the most noticeable difference is that he promoted youth talent such as Aarons, Cantwell, Lewis, Godfrey. If the powers that be are aware of this they'd unanimously want him on board, as close to a perfect fit as we're likely to find....

Speaking of odds, have QPR appointed someone? Looks like the market has been withdrawn?

Pretty obvious the sales are on their arse if they're scrambling about thinking of promotional activity now. For what it's worth, most lads I know are more than happy to renew IF we get the right manager in soon. The likelihood is they would do anyway though, there's just less sense of urgency. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to fathom out that people are watching the pennies a bit more and prioritising. Loads of our fans will be getting that family holiday paid off first, after 2 years without for the most part.

I've watched bits of the UAE pro league, purely for betting purposes. Honestly, there's lads on here who would walk in most teams, its utterly terrible. If Carvalhal want's to go there to make a decent wedge for a years 'work' that's on him, I don't think you can really blame our recruitment process for that. It's quite simple - his decision is purely financial. His track record for time spent at clubs is pretty alarming if you ask me. Good work if you can get it mind......

I'm not so sure I believe those rumours to be honest. There's an argument both were waiting to see what league we were in, and/or if they got any better offers from elsewhere. As far as we know there hasn't been much talk of offers coming to fruition. Unless Mowbray is a bare faced liar (possible tbf) he had a good relationship with both, not so sure on Rothwell as he seemed to like having sly digs at him, plus I think he definitely wanted out himself.

Isn't that the job of the DOF, if we get one

Not sure how much to read into the UAE links. Their pro league isn't exactly littered with respectable managers. For the most part it just seems to be nobodies or ex players like Rebrov managing the teams. Obviously money talks but I'd like to think Carvalhal had a bit more about him than to just go there for the cash.

Good chance Critchley will be bookies favourite by close of play today now and people will think its a done deal 😆 Mowbray leaving really has brought a lot of desperate ITK willy waving about, that alone is a key reason I hope we have someone in place by the end of the week (not confident of that mind). Suppose they'll then move over to the transfer thread though.....roll on the new season.

Bollocks He's got an axe to grind Sadly he'll be out of our budget though I suspect, he was well paid at Burnley

Yesterday people on fb were papping on about Adkins purely because someone mentioned him on a messageboard. I don't think they meant on here as far as I can see. Given his pathetic tenure at Charlton and his refusal to work with crackpot owners at Hull I'd say there's no chance.

I see Jon Dahl Tomasson is being linked with the QPR job quite heavily as well as Ainsworth. Quite an interesting one, maybe thinking its a Graham Potter-esque appointment after his time at Malmo. I'm sure Chaddy must have mentioned him on the 8th May at 14:30 but I haven't noticed his name being linked with us at all.

The pitch will probably be ok this year depending in the weather. The world cup break will allow for a maintenance period which should help massively. Obviously can't prepare for an absolute bucket of water like the Preston game but I'm confident it'll be in better shape this season overall. I'm not defending anyone, just an observation.

Surprised how many of our fans think they'll be a solid team next season and bounce back. They've got a similar sized rebuilding job to us with all the players leaving, arguably even more so depending if the likes of Pope get snapped up which he surely will. Some deluded dingles think they're set to get over 20m for McNeil too 🤣 See what kinda kitty Pace gives their new gaffer, I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be overly big though! Still they have a cat A academy to fall back on don't they? Oh wait.... League one next you horrible lot 😁

In fairness, whatever he claims to be betting on, you can absolutely guarantee it won't happen so its semi useful in that respect

I hate the prem to be honest and rarely follow it, that was an epic final day though from start to finish. Thought it was naive/stupid of Burnley to line up like they did and play hoofball to Cornet, 1 shot on target first half spoke volumes in a game they needed to be winning. Played better after the Cornet goal though and honestly thought the draw was on at the point Leeds were also drawing. That Harrison goal got the party in full swing though 🥳

Swag will already be counting the pennies from fleecing a big Sunderland following when we play them. Glad they did it tbf it's a good away day and quite frankly Wycombe isn't.

It's a little odd isn't it, because Alan Pace promised to revolutionise their youth setup with state of the art scouting methods. What actually transpired was an app for kids to send in clips of them dribbling and doing kickups.

It's cringey as hell invading a pitch just because you've got to a play off final, you've not even won anything. Likewise fans of a team of Evertons stature celebrating staying up like that! Each to their own though, but if you have to do it don't be a dickhead goading or assaulting players or managers. None of that at Doncaster in fairness to my knowledge. It ain't fair to just blame young people either, it's clearly not just them! How do you stop it apart from putting the fences back up though, a handful of minimum wage stewards ain't gonna do much.

No real issue with people posting supposed info tbh, anyone who's been on here numerous years knows who spouts shite and who doesn't. What I find hard to believe though is that we're well on with things and anywhere near to appointing someone. Any fan should know from experience how slow we get literally anything done, from transfer activity to season tickets. I'm actually amazed how soon we've almost sorted pre season friemdlies out, although who knows who invited who, we may have just answered phone calls to accept invites. I bet its tougher to get a prem team in this season now covid ain't rearing it's head as much, they'll all be off on fancy jaunts abroad.

At least it gives us something to talk/speculate about as opposed to constant pages of players we won't sign like we normally have close season..... It's literally just people taking a punt on tit bits of information etc though. If Carvahal came it wouldn't be a mercerman exclusive that's for certain, broken clock right twice a day kinda scenario.....

Mccarthy has won a cup and got a team in the CAF champions league. Whilst I agree he's definitely not the man for the job, don't mention that tosser Orr in the same breath, he's done literally nothing of note in his footballing career.

More than a few people singing have you paid your gas bill yet to the spurs support too back then.....

That's kinda the point Chaddy, people see whispers on social media and odds reflect it. I know someone who mentioned Simon Grayson as a piss take the other night, following morning he was favourite 🤣 Another reason of many that you never see a skint bookie.

A few trash websites reported him as being on the shortlist (that doesn't yet exist) which prompted a few people to bet on it basically. Farke could well be in double digits odds soon as well after being pretty much odds on favourite last week.
