He is not the man for the job.

Gone by Christmas.

He could be gone before that at this rate. Newcastle and Chelsea next up after Europa.

I think we are a long way from this point but surely Sean Dyche is the one we would want?

Are we resigned to a relegation battle already?

I am. 

We lost today and usually I’d be fuming. Especially at home. Especially to a newly promoted team. 

But tonight, I’ve just accepted it. Im not surprised or angry or upset. I’m just resigned to a crap season at this point. 

Nuno and Edu and their fight has ruined everything. 

Where is the next point in the league coming from?

Should’ve gone for Jose while we had the chance. This could get Hughton levels of toxic very quickly

Why don’t we ever sight our sights higher than managers who are just out of work?

Why not pony up to try to get someone out of their contract? Surely it would be cheaper than some of the signings we make who don’t play or go out on loan.

Wish we’d gone for Glasner or Silva. Might have been hard, but they’d have been worth a shot.

Iriola would have been my pick - it would have been tough before, but now they’re 5th and we’re 5th bottom. So we might have fancied him, but he’s out of our grasp.

Hope Ange gets a win on Thursday. I’ve heard everyone is on board with him - but we can’t win.

Feels like when McLeish came in and we all knew it wouldn’t last. I just fear who could be next at this rate.

So we shouldn’t have appointed Steve and then Nuno then?

Didn’t say that though did I?

Karanka
O’Neill
Lamouchi
Hughton

Who were they working for when we got them?

Steve worked - we were bottom of the championship when we got him. 

Nuno worked - we were looking like being relegated when he took over with a points deduction imminent. 

But before Steve Cooper went, we were after unemployed Benitez. Then later when Cooper did go, we got Nuno - who was available. He was brilliant for us, but he was free to get. 

When we knew Nuno was off, we knew we’d get Ange. Pretty sure he was available too. 

Rob Dorsett said we liked Silva, Glasner and Iriola, but we all knew we’d never get any of them and we’d get Ange. 

But this time we weren’t bottom of the championship, or bottom 3 of the prem facing a points deduction, we were in our best place in 30 years. About to play in Europe with what looked like a great squad. A position of strength we might not get again for a while if this goes wrong. 

All I asked was, why we never seem to go for managers who have jobs but might be a better fit. 

It’s a genuine question. It might not be possible. I just wondered why we always get managers who don’t have jobs.
