no more Mr Nice Guys

Next manager for me got to be a disciplinarian type. Last three Ole, Slade and Trollope been too nice and this bunch and club needs an hard nosed character in. We want someone who will bollock this lot if they don't press the ball as we are awful without the ball, even worse than with it. All our successful managers, May, Burrows, Malky have been no-nonsense types and even Dave Jones had a ruthless edge and was a spiky personality. These players need to feel fear for their places and futures as many are far too comfortable, and have been for a couple of seasons.

I totally agree with you.

It also needs someone to stand up to Tan as well and that's why we wouldn't be able to get any decent manager to come here.

Just thinking same, a man has bollocks the last three didn't. I don't care if they upset people. Malky was the man.

Unfortunately Tan will not employ a tough character. No is allowed to disagree with tan, or stand their ground against him. He only wants a puppet that will keep his head down and do as he is told. Eddie May and Frank Burrows worked under poor boards, but they had control where and when it mattered. Malky stood his ground and look how that ended.

The talk of Pullis / warnock etc?? Can anyone see these guys working under this prick? Scott Young or James Rowberry will be more like the type of appointment. A cheap and easy option.

Tan may be a successful businessman, but in the football world he is a f*cking idiot. The sooner he can f**k off the better.

I totally agree with you.

Why does our manager need to stand up to Tan? He's not to blame for this mess is he.
