What was the point in letting that fraud Aussie chancer wreck the side for 2 seasons?What's the pint on getting a short term temp of the they didn't have someone lined up.
Forgot about Heitinger.What was the point in letting that fraud Aussie chancer wreck the side for 2 seasons?
What was the point in waiting until after the window closes before sacking Frank?
What was the point getting Heitinger in for 30 days.
You can't still think this lot have ANY form of plan?
Ask Levy that... Oh wait Levy got sacked... But the damage he caused will linger for years.What was the point in letting that fraud Aussie chancer wreck the side for 2 seasons?

I hope we're attempting to make those phone calls, but my assumption is they will all say no.Is the alternative to abandon waiting for Poch, and go all in for a FT hire now?
De Zerbi, Rose, Terzic, Xavi etc.
Give them a "walk" clause if they can't keep us up..
The championship is extremely competitive and robust af.Honestly a season in the championship may actually give the long needed reset. As long as we are in the Prem the Lewis's keep lining their pockets and just let it go as it has
I thought he spoke very well on one MNF a while back. Seems he'd been going to places like city and others to learn and gain new experiences and thought processes. Rejected the wolves job (rightly so imo) because he's looking for the right opportunity. IMO this is it interim here turn this shit show around somewhat his stock will be quite high and come summer he gets a job or he'll be top of the que for any side parting ways after a poor start next season.
We have professional staff ?They did it to Barca as well
5 mins due diligence on the pitch from our professional staff could have better prepared us for it

That's the end of that then
Well I have flipped after last night, and I can’t believe this club has brought me to this position but I think the board must relieve Tudor from his post now and get Mason & Sherwood in for the remainder of the season if possible.
Again, I can’t believe I’ve come to the position of wanting Sherwood back.
Tudor seems tactically rigid with a system which the players are unaccustomed to and his man management skills seem dreadful. His approach may work with a group of genuine pros with some spirit & resilience about them but the tough love seems to have just left members of this squad either cowering, increasingly apathetic, or simply dissolving themselves of responsibility for anything.
If we go down at least it would be with some of our own - although I am dismayed to be putting Sherwood in that bracket.
A person that players will see as not much more than a glorified “cone boy” that failed at his only go at management. That’s admitting defeat.It has to be Mason and it's going to be Mason, I feel pretty certain.
It is just too late for an outsider. Three weeks ago we had options, now we don't.
Just had a look seems he's doing a good job there too.
Even if "commanding the players respect" is the right frame here (which I don't really think it is), I really think you are taking a mistaken view of how our actual players would view Ryan Mason vs Sean Dyche because of how YOU view Ryan Mason vs Sean Dyche.A person that players will see as not much more than a glorified “cone boy” that failed at his only go at management. That’s admitting defeat.
I think rolling the dice with Dyche is probably our best option at this stage
Never in a trillion years is he leaving that job to have his reputation in his native country torpedoed by a team he knows he would have neither the time nor the authority to stamp his ideas upon.

They know Mason personally, and were literal children in many cases when Dyche last had any meaningful success.

Dream on, guys
I hope we're attempting to make those phone calls, but my assumption is they will all say no.
Those managers will correctly feel they will have no chance to meaningfully implement their ideas in the current situation, and they'd be taking a risk of an enormous blow to their reputation and credibility for what's a poisoned chalice anyway.
Even with PL status confirmed and promises of a war chest in the summer I anticipate we are going to be a very tough sell, but right now? Forget about it.
He comes from Borehamwood, he isn’t very good.Well I have flipped after last night, and I can’t believe this club has brought me to this position but I think the board must relieve Tudor from his post now and get Mason & Sherwood in for the remainder of the season if possible.
