I go away for a fortnight on holiday and what happens? We get beat by Bournemouth, we sack the Managing Director Orta, we sack the manager Gracia, we appoint the truly awful head Sam Allardyce as our fourth manager of the season! What a farce! I thought we were better than that, a club that put long term planning first; a club which had a vision, a club with a strategy, but alas we bowed to the bully boy press hysteria and the more rabid element of fandom and what do we get! No strategy, no long term planning and Fat Fecking Sam! Madness. It all went wrong last season when we sacked El Loco, we compounded it with sacking Marsch - rightly or wrongly but definitely at the wrong time. And now we have Feckwit Sam at the helm.
I’m still on holiday for another week and won’t be tuning in. I truly hope we survive but we don’t deserve to, as this is a mess entirely of our own making by panic management. Then again the same can be said of Southampton, Forest and Leicester.
Best wishes to VO, you will make a great MD at whichever club you go to. Best for Gracia, you were always the wrong appointment but you tried. Best for the management team
but you’re kind of fecked with Big Sam as manager.
He brought Bielsa to us, for that all is forgiven - JKA and others. Best 3 years of my life after watching us v Stoke in the first game. Pure happiness
bb, have you heard anything about potential Managers for next season should we stay up (i was drunk last night and put $10.00 on us staying up). Past rumours said we wanted either one of the following 3 (no order). 1- Ange Postecoglou, 2- Marcelo Gallardo, 3- Andoni Iraola. Is there still talk like this floating should we stay up?
My Agent "friend" tells me he expects the next manager to know the Prem well, if we stay up.
Not an up and coming coach, not one with European success, not one with just lower league experience.
Will need to be unemployed so no names really stand out. Potter? Rodgers?
If we go down, maybe we will stick with Big Sam and give him some money to get us up at the first go. That is after selling £200million worth of players
Jesse was a 49ers appointment and VO licked their arse to agree.
Not the right man. We played with width under MB and had prope wide players, Marsh always wanted to go narrow which may work in European leagues but not in England. All top clubs go for width and Ted Lasso was never going to work out.
49ers pushed him out they wanted one of their own guys in Jesse, he was a flop, then had no plan to replace him left us in limbo only to panic into signing JG, now he gone, you'd swear they almost wished us into relegation in order to save about £300m so that's my conspiracy theory and im sticking to it.
"you'd swear they almost wished us into relegation in order to save about £300m so that's my conspiracy theory and im sticking to it."
You may be closer to the truth than you realise Bully.
I believe there's no fee agreed if we go down, as a result the offer will be £150M rather than the agreed £420M. For the 49ers the chance to save the dosh, fund ER development, enjoy a rebuild for 3 years under parachute payments, then bring us back up with no dirt on their hands..... they wouldn't mind that at all.
Football is business and they are businessmen.
Radz now stands alone in trying to save his fortune and keep us up. This is a soap opera played out at the expense of our emotions.
The good news is that Glenn Hoddle is now favourite to be either manager or Director of Football for whichever division we're in next season.... a whopping 82% of our fans want him in according to the latest poll 👍🙏😜👏
He was massively responsible for getting us promoted. He was massively responsible for signing Biesla. He signed Raphinha who made us a small fortune. He signed Meslier, Adams, Gnonto, Sinisterra and sone of the most promising u21s in the country. Most fans are clueless, the club should never have listened to them.

It wasn't so long ago that chelscum apparently wanted Orta!
None of our fans, up til a couple of months ago, could agree on whether he had worked wonders for us or signed crap players!
Whatever he did was worth his wages alone with the binoculars incident! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aint going to happen,

If TC can fiddle a poll to have Hoddle at 82%😱
I can have my Yanks forked us over 😜
Bielsa for director of football.... Offer him a blank cheque... and a lifetime contract 👍👍

Had to go because of the JKA situation, let alone any other issues.
Step 1 - find out what division we are in next year
Ownership sorted next
DoF sorted next
Strategy next
Long term manager next
Finally it will be time to weed the garden.....
Had to go and deserves to go. Hated by the fans. Signed some right rubbish, especially for this season. He will be massively to blame when we go down.
Ding dong
