Farmer Saint

Am I included within this cohort of incumbency worshippers? You seem to be getting in quite a tizz about this.

Why do you say that - doesn't look like he's commanded respect of anyone in his managerial career?

I wish we were Norwich.

Exactly, it's why we need to get this one right, and not rush into appointing perennial failures like Vieira, Ole, O'Neil etc.

He did as well at Nice as Still did at Lens TBF. That's what worries me. The rest of his career he hasn't been good. I'm not advocating for TE as Manager, I'm just not advocating for anyone else that I've seen on the list. If he was interested I'd take Rogers. Apart from that, maybe Ralph back, but he fell out with a lot of people here (players/board etc).

Agree.

What's Vieira done as a Manager to impress you? Reading through it just seems like failure after failure.

RM got us promoted, but was not suitable for the Prem, I'd agree. Far better appointment than Still (with the benefit of hindsight).

He's only managed once in the Championship, for Cardiff, and was fucking appalling. He has only managed one side in the last 4 or 5 years, and that ended after 6 months. What makes you think he's a good Manager? The football his sides play is absolutely dire as well.

Prefer to have RM over Still or Eckert though...

I'm not sure anyone is actually saying TE should have the job permanently - my thoughts are if we haven't had anyone that we think is suitable apply, and we can't find anyone we think will be good, why just appoint any Tom, Dick and Harry when the interim option has won two on the bounce. Keep him on in the interim until we find someone to bring in. If he really starts failing then fine, we'll have to appoint someone who may not be suitable. What I love is that there has not been one decent, realistic Manager mentioned on this thread, amongst how many posters? SR are utter shite, so if we're struggling, they must be struggling even more.

I don't see that there are any other even average options around at the moment, and he will only get the job if he performs well - that's how I see it.

Charlie?

Sorry, I didn't realise we weren't allowed to have opinions on here. Who do you like then?

Don't speak to him anymore - our wives fell out.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I have seen literally no-one mentioned who I would be happy with, so if this this buys us more time then great.

5 goals.

All because I'm calling you out for bullshitting. Bless.

6 points.

Mate, it's fine, you can only name what's in the media.

Really? Did you see us under Still? Tonda seems to be an upgrade on Still, at least.

A post that says the incumbent manager may be kept on, or may not be kept on? Inciteful! Who's our other options then?

And what if they haven't found the right replacement yet?

Has Carrick interviewed, and is he interested? Considering he did an extremely middling job with Boro I'm not sure he's a great option. I thought I might like him at first but looked into it and Boro fans don't rate him.

I'm certainly not saying I want him, but it may be a case that the Board are not impressed with anyone who has interviewed yet - to be honest looking at the realistic names they all look extremely underwhelming. The best option is probably RM, and he's not a good option. This buys us time for further sackings etc to take place.
