Despite the poor start we have had under still promotion should be the target this season whether that be automatic or play offs otherwise it’s another fuck up on sportts republic with the above in mind is ekhart really the man to deliver this ? It’s a huge gamble imo and fans fickle opinions will be changing on him after each and every result

1. Nobody knows what the club and Eckhert have discussed - maybe they’ve said he’s in place as interim until the end of the season, unless a more suitable option emerges. 2. Given he’s out-performed supposedly more experienced Managers with 4 impressive wins, there is more risk in NOT appointing him right now…there are too many unknowns in all the other options meaning he is the safest bet right now. That position is hard to argue against.

Did Millwall get lucky? Let’s face it, we were matching them until the last minute and they score a worldly right? No - the reason they won that game was because the players decided to revert to Russball and sit back too much - we invited the pressure and certain cowards in the team didn’t pressure oncoming attackers and didn’t put a boot in. Millwall did that to us and that was the difference - they wanted it more…had more character. So the question is, can Tonda ensure the mistakes and general lack of character get eradicated in the future? Perhaps he should just accept that there will be bad days at the office? Birmingham will present a perfect opportunity to prove that he really is the real deal. Fail to get a win or draw and it will be time to question his credentials, however continuing to select Stephens and Manning will contribute to his downfall IMO. 1-1 or 2-1 if we’re lucky and Scienza plays.

If we don't appoint him you can be sure another club maybe in the Championship or league 1 will come in for him. What about the Skates ? That possibility doesn't even bear thinking about !! Imo he at the very least deserves the certainty of a decent extension with an option to appoint, However in the absence of any official announcement nobody outside the club knows what is going on. the current situation isn't very dignified for him.

Yet the guy has the nerve to call other fans clowns for suggesting that Eckert possibly shouldn’t be given the job. Clearly isn’t very bright and doesn’t have the brainpower to think beyond whats being played out in front of his eyes, so can’t look beyond the current incumbent.

Nah, we have the perfect number 7! He might look a little slow, unfit and lazy… but when he comes alive, his goals and assists, oh fuck… never mind.

Its messed up. Several kids dead. Also the sixth mass shooting incident in the week.

Fair.

He needs a run of games to make sure he’s suspended over Christmas.

Agreed. His effort was scandalous yesterday.

Do you want them in alphabetical order?

Rogers carrick etc

I don't think anyone watching that would genuinely think he was anything other than awful. I'd imagine he's just saying that. He can't exactly come out and say he was shit.

The same friend told me that the issue is not the NHS it’s the care homes. About 40% of beds are taken up by people who should be in care homes but due to the cost and lack of space they’re having to keep them in hospital. Obviously this has had a knock on effect for other operations and patients too. the tories are cunts but it’s a very lazy and easy target to blame them for it all. We’ve not long come out of a pandemic. We have an aging population and increasingly sick population, look at how much lifestyle illnesses like T2 diabetes cost the NHS? Something like £14b a year, 30 years ago you’d never even heard of it. mental health issues off the scale and yes, although people don’t want to hear we an ever growing immigrant population to take care of as well. still let’s blame it all on the nasty tories

And a blessed TNT sports new year to you.

But they have only started doing weekend appointments since the Labour government came in

Oh dear, his football is very flawed if he actually believes that Aribo was any better than dreadful

Actually it’s an example of the huge backlog that built up during Covid where even patients with stage 4 cancer saw their appointments pushed back. We are still seeing the knock on effects from that now. Source - a friend who is GM of a hospital. Not some made up person at a lunch

I don’t think you’ve been looking hard enough. There’s been loads. There’s a bloody poll on this very thread that has a list of some ffs. And even if they didn’t get name checked specifically on here, it’s absolutely ludicrous to suggest there is not a single experienced football manager in the world who would take the job if offered. Absolutely bonkers to use that as a rationale to give Eckert the job. Nuts.

Yeah, but are you finally entitled to benefits?

Scienza plays, we win.

I’m still waiting to hear a realistic/experienced option suggested by anyone. There are no good options available that we can go and get. May as well appoint Tonda until the end of the season.

The club should tell her it’s a private matter. And to fuck off. Presumably he wasn’t on club business at the time he was driving. Realising he was a shit footballer perhaps they asked him to collect and deliver a consignment of cones to Staplewood. Although seems unlikely they’d ask him to do that without training him to manage a sheep dog. Just in case one of the cones decided to give him the slip and make a run for it.
