Don't Pity me , there's no need I'm just passing a bit of time watching the Xmas pantomime of 2013 that I predicted.

Never thought it would explode to this degree though worldwide.

Thanks for not reporting me is it your New Years resolution?

I feel for the true old die hards but newbie Johnny come lately like you I can only laugh sorry.

You and Tan deserve each other


No, you're wrong, as I've already pointed out. True, we have a hard January, but everyone else has to play them too, so it will balance itself out. :thumbright:

Johnny come lately? Now you're making daft assumptions, which again, is wrong. Kinda blows your "always right" opinion apart.


Alex - come on now admit the truth you jumped on the success band wagon

Well, the season I first remember was a promotion season... 1993. Hardly call a Division 3 title glory hunting though. :laughing6:

I was a youngster going down with my grandad. 9 years old. :thumbright:

Anyway, back on topic....

The sooner the next manager is brought in the better. We all recognise the need for a few new faces in the dressing room and, although the transfer window is currently closed, there's a lot of transfer activity being done in advance.

We don't want the available players going to relegation rivals just because Dalman / Tan haven't thought this one through!

Its all been Knee jerk reactions so far, can you see anything changing soon because I cant mate. We are now looking at the bottom of barrels for managers from anywhere.

I do agree that Ince doesnt fill me with confidence but Sven and Vural have already been ruled out by the chairman. The likes of Bielsa and Solskjaer also linked so its not all doom and gloom, but who ever is appointed it will be a risk. I dont think it will be as hard as people think to attract a manager, people want to manager in the premiership, even if to use us as a stepping stone, not many clubs financially back managers like Tan will, a new manager will want assurances about the interferreance but I think he will get it.

A new manager that comes in needs to do a bit more than tweak in my opinion, he needs to change the mindset of the entire squad. In recent weeks they almost looked afriad to attack. We need to do more than rely on set pieces, if we can add goals in open play to our set peices we become a hell of a lot more effective. Hopefully a new manager will get the wide players and striker we have been needing for the last 3 years.

Spot on.

No rush. Let's get a strong candidate in, and the right structure.

The board (Tan) has obviously set "attacking football" as a mandate which, we haven't had since some of The Jones era.

Hopefully we'll get back on track to being a professional outfit again....... In the Premier League.........and then with a decent badge........and then back to blue!!

Keep the faith!

It makes you wonder doesn't it? We've been well and truly stitched up by the mono-browed one and Tan.

We'll never be debt free with parasites like these 2 around :evil:

The names being linked of Sven, Ince and Vural do not inspire me with confidence at all.

It is critical for so many reasons that the new appointment is the correct one not just for keeping us in the Premier League but for the long term betterment for the club.

There are plenty of fans who want Vincent Tan to sell the club and move on but Tan will want to sell at the right price and get most of his money back if not all of it but that can surely only happen if we are a Premier League club.

Some fans will argue that should we be relegated then there is more chance of us returning to blue, I do not see that argument as having any credence to be honest and to be truthful it is not a route I want to go down, I have never heard VT suggest if we are unsuccessful then we will go back to blue.

I really believe that if VT was offered his money back then he would sell up so for myself the best chance we have of that happening is to be a debt free Premier League club.

Vincent Tan made a pledge upon rebranding the club that he will turn his loans into shares upon settlement of the Langston loan notes, this needs to happen ASAP and a manager brought in who has the experience and is able to keep this club in the top flight.

I hope that the search does not drag on and one name after another turn us down, we need a swift decision and allow things to return to some sort of normality as soon as possible particularly for the squad of players.

There is talent in this squad and all hope is not lost, far from it, I really believe that we can survive in this league even with the squad we have today, Malky played his system pretty well, it was not free flowing exciting football but it garnered results but I still believed he could have tweaked it to be a touch more creative, a change of manager has not changed my view of that and still believe that the squad is good enough but with the alleged promise of money to spend in January with the right choice of manager then we can get out of the relegation battle that we are in today and will be deeper in when February comes.


i reckon no-one in their right mind would for Tan now, despite any assurances, unless of course he pays them massive wages. id like to see hoddle given chance, sexy football all the way.
