TV games for January and February have been announced Our away game at Stoke and home game at Watford are 12.30pm kick offs on Saturday Portsmouth away is 12pm on a Sunday but we knew that already, and Southampton v QPR is 8pm Tuesday but that was midweek anyway. The rest are the same as they were previously announced https://www.efl.com/news/2025/november/07/see-the-latest-efl-tv-selections/

Not got a problem with us leaking to the press that Eckert has a chance. I very much doubt though that we are intending to do so. It would be a huge gamble. Maybe in a year or two as an eventual successor.

That's a great call. Get Strachan back in,

The next set of TV fixtures should be announced either Thursday or Friday, which will cover games in January and February.

Alan Nixon is not a reputable source.

Our new German manager when he meets some of our underperforming players...

Ralph coming in with Eckert as his understudy to take over in a couple of years...? I'm not against Eckert tbh, nobody had heard of Thomas Frank before.

The dressing room culture needs to fundamentally change; Romeu will help address that.

Not fussed about an apology, better performances would be my preference.

Anyone who was here last season. With the exception of Adam Armstrong, Ross Stewart (he was injured anyway last season so doesn't count) and at times Wood, the rest have been utterly awful. Not just in performances, but attitude and application. We need to build a team around the likes of Scienza, Jander and Charles, and start shipping out a number of individuals who for whatever reason are damaged goods. Yes last season was tough but you can't be that fragile mentally, you have no chance of succeeding at the top level. Time to get ruthless.

If some players do want him back, that is reason enough for us not to appoint him. There are plenty of players who need to ship out over the next couple of transfer windows and they know the gig is up with a hard taskmaster.

Spors has at least got some gems in Scienza and Jander so maybe his boy Eckert is the one. Eckert is also even younger than Will Still. I think he'll be our youngest ever manager (interim included) unless I'm wrong about that.

We'll lose. We should've put everyone from last season up for transfer. There's a reason why nobody wants them.

Yup. A bit like Martin O'Neill at Celtic, a stable choice as interim manager

I want someone who the players would absolutely dread because he'd make them work hard. What must Roy Keane be thinking about his future son-in-law? Embarrassment surely
