I don’t think anyone has an issue with possession football, it’s the hiring of a manager who has had little success with whatever style he has been playing. Obviously the better teams tend to have more possession, but his teams have all just been average.

If Newcastle somehow lose to Leicester tomorrow then Liverpool will probably need to beat us by 5 goals to stand a chance of catching them.

Like in the 20-21 season when his MK Dons side were only bettered in the possession stats by Man City and Barcelona, yet they finished below Accrington Stanley and Crewe.

I don't think the fans would mind any particular style as long as it gets results.

He does pass sideways and backwards too much. It will be interesting to see what clubs come in for him.

True, but he has never finished above mid-table once, not sure why you think that will change with our bunch of losers.

I'm always suspicious of these sort of things. Why does he feel the need to suck himself off on YouTube? Where is his masterclass videos from the games they lost on their way to their second mid-table finish in a row?

Except Brighton get results.

Bunch of gutless, useless cunts. Happy to see the back on any of them.

This is exactly the sort of appointment I feared. Imagine our pussy players trying to pat it around like Man City when we go to Luton away next year. I can't believe Dragon man is trusting these clowns with his money.

Hopefully all this Russell Martin talk is just a smokescreen to help get the real candidate to sign.

But good managers get teams playing above expectations, especially in the lower leagues. I get the thinking behind it but fact is he hasn’t finished above mid-table when other managers have got teams promoted or up around the top on a shoestring.

Vincent Kompany it is then! Russell Martin's MK Dons had great possession stats, but could only finish 13th in League 1. Swansea under him have finished 15th and 10th. They are the only stats that matter.

Except 8 of the 9 teams that finished above Swansea had less possession.

I'm a little bit worried about the idea of choosing a manager based on their average percentage possession stats. Leicester won the Prem with something like 40% possession, who gives a fuck what the possession stats are, it's only results that matter.

Would Carrick leave Boro for our shit-show?

Not sure what we can sue them for, it’s not like Everton overspending has made to outcome of our season any different.

If he actually won some football games no one would give a monkeys about his irritating personality or lack of communication skills. He got sacked because he was just way out of his depth.

Think Leicester and Forest will go. Everton have the perfect final game being at home to Bournemouth and Leeds' final game against Spurs is very winnable. Though Arsenal messing up their title run in gives Forest a better chance now the gooners have nothing to play for. Everton, Forest, Leeds and Leicester are pretty much as dislikable as each other in my book so happy to see any of them down.

Nothing to do with being in or out of the EU though. Mogg is talking bollocks as usual.

This.

He’s got experience of playing at the top level, some promotions on his cv, experience in the championship and did a good job managing in the Premier League so obviously he would be a good candidate.

I wouldn’t go for anyone unless they have had some sort of success at the league we are in or higher. No bright upcoming managers from League One or below.

Apart from Lavia, JWP, KWP and Alcaraz they have all been shit. Diallo probably wins though for some really outstandingly poor performances.

This, his performance in the interview was as lame as his performance on the pitch. I was hoping for once he would show a bit of anger and have the balls to call out a few people but he just delivered the usual rehearsed comments. He’s been a good player for us but he’s not a leader, needs to go in the summer.
