Dman

Has to be our number 1 choice if he comes up. Throw everything at him, who knows. Feels like we missed the boat though, I think when crooker was here we’d have stood a better chance given their links at the FA. We should have tried for him the summer!

I don’t think it was Beattie. I know for a fact, from the horses mouth, he’s been offering his services to the club for a while (I.e as a coach) but was told he’s not needed.

He’s dire. Can’t run, unfit, has no first touch. All round just a really really poor player. I can’t even recall him winning a header. Especially not as many as he should for his size.

Way outside of our reach now, but it’s clear we need a striker. I’d like for us to look at players performing across European top leagues rather than the championship. Really like the look of Vangelis Pavlidis, currently at AZ Alkmar. Pretty quick for a bigger lad and can finish. would expect to see him in one of europes big leagues fairly soon. Would have had more chance in January, when we wasted £18m on that fucking donkey Paul.

Would fit in very well with our bunch of weak minded cowards then.

Why on earth would the replace Mowbray after the season they’ve just had. Madness.

If we’re getting anyone from United I want it to be Amad Diallo. Would probably need to be a loan, but he’s been fantastic for Sunderland this season. Left footed right winger but can play across the front 3.

But the worlds biggest SR supporter (I.e mental manji) keeps telling us that Rasmus has taken a step back from recruitment

Disagree. We need someone to take us up and keep us up. I.e someone who can operate at PL level. Parker is well proven he cannot do that. Pointless appointing a manager for who would hopefully be 1 season.

I don’t think you’ll find many who disagree, but that is also the reason why we’re going down. Everyone always said if we need to rely on his goals we’re in trouble and that has proven to be spot on.

We need to some what manage our exceptions I think, Vieria is probably about as big a name as we can realistically expect. He’s also someone good enough to get us out the league and keep us up imo. Overall he done a decent job at Palace. It didn’t end too well, but I rarely does for managers. He suits the ‘possession based’ style we seem to want to move towards. He’s a winner and a bit of a hard cunt, so will give a few of these a kick up the arse. We’re a team in transition and need a big figure to lead it. He’d strike me as a bit of a Koeman type appointment.

All signs point to Vieira incoming

Why not though. It was clear, 4-5 weeks ago we needed a firefighter to stay up. Big Sam was an obvious choice and one who’d have kept us up. As a club we seem to think we’re above managers like Bjg Sam etc. now look where we find ourselves

Good statement from SR in my opinion. Confidence moving forwards. Clearly, Rasmus has made mistakes, but i Don’t think it’s fair to tarnish the money man and the other bloke with the same brush. We need a football person in, asap, let’s hope this new DOF is the right one.

Surely that’s really, really easy… It’s all a threat and won’t work in practice. The home clubs stewards man the doors, so unless they have some kind of collection point on the day (like England fans have to), then I don’t see how any of it is enforceable.

Feel like we could have Burnley’s pants down here, if I’m honest.

I know we’ve left the EU and all that, but does being English no longer make you European..

Unlucky with injuries here iirc. Didn’t he get injured in his first start in the Europa league. Always felt like there was a player in there, just needed some time and a run of games to adapt to the pace of the PL. Signed as a replacement for Wanyama / Morgan, but he was never really that type of player.

That front 2 scores less than this seasons front 2. Terrible.

If true and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was, then that’s an absolute disgrace. He’s a decent defender. Nothing special, middle of the road PL cb. I’ll Wish him well if and when he moves on.

The only thing mental is a PL club appointing Nathan fucking Jones and then Ruben Selles when we’re in a relegation battle. That’s on Rasmus. So I would question the laws of common sense, it doesn’t seem like he has any.

Palace have already announced who their manager will be next season.. spoiler, it’s not potter.

Little else we can do on that front, other than throw a load on youngsters in and ruin them.

Same and I’m excited at the thought of either. Vieira more likely imo. I can’t wait to see the uproar when some Wally who’s managed no higher than league 1 comes in because his current teams ‘defending stats’ are high.

In fairness, none of those managers have played with wingers. There’s a player in there for me, good asset in the championship.
