Transfer window

There was a point made on Match of the day last night that any new Manager may not choose to come in until January is done, due to the difficult fixtures we face.

If this does prove to be the case it's going to prove very difficult for us to strengthen in January, this would mean Kerslake staying in charge on an interim basis (whipping boy) so who would make decisions if any on transfers.

In my opinion we need to get someone in immediately as this will give them the time needed to put their own stamp on things, delaying until the end of January could be disastrous and see us in a position that we can't get out of.

Nah, I think a 'new' manager (assuming he is quality) will relish the chance of going up against the "big guns" with nothing to lose and a lot to gain

He can either blame the squad he inherited (if we lose) or show how good he is (if we take anything at all)

Either way, why would a manager want to come in AFTER the transfer window has shut and he cannot place his own 'stamp' on the playing squad? Certainly not because he can 'pit his wits' against two or three of the top clubs in the Premier League, if not the world!

Because he worries that he may lose all January games and Tan being Tan May fire him?!

Well he's not going to lose all the jan games is he, because he will be coming after the arsenal game and we have west ham at home.

I'll do it Seriously though - I agree, it is a win win situation for a new manager and what a great opportunity for someone.

A "quality" manager would probably think along those lines, someone with less experience may take a completely different view!

And it's a guarantee that we'll beat West Ham is it? As yesterday proved you can't take anything for granted at this level.
