The fact that this regime would have a specific target or targets in mind should Blooms leave (however you feel about the circumstances around his departure) should be something we all agree on. We may not agree on whether they were going to hook Blooms after the first bad run, but we never had the chance to find out.

Not giving a rising manager an extension and then being caught cold with no idea of who you want to take over the position when he leaves would be the height of incompetency. I don't think the new regime are incompetent, and I don't think anyone else does either. If we want to be the new Brentford or Brighton, we are surely thinking in the terms they do, and they always have targets in mind for every position, including manager.

As per some of @StrongestTeam's great post above, having a target does not mean they are still available, or that the club would not interview other prospects who have shaken loose in the meantime.

The reality is that Blooms made himself unsackable with his results up to his departure, so we have no idea how much that messed up any other plans too.

Sadlier would fit that role if fit. He’s great at turning the right back inside out and getting a cross in.

We do have Sadlier returning soon though.

I think we need a manager who will let the players carry on doing exactly what they've been doing and just keep the team's morale up with a few pizza nights, or something. Probably an Italian.

No rumour but I’d love for us to sign a left footed winger. Fred was excellent yesterday driving at players and being willing to go to the byline if needs be - there’s no one in the squad who can do that on the left. Would also free up Harvie to play on the underlap (as he did for that lovely goal at Lincoln) and would allow to us to be a more balanced attack, as at the moment, regardless of who is on the left side, they just want to cut inside. Would be another option to keep things mixed up a bit depending on opposition, score etc. Not a clue who that man could be though!

All BS? Targets might not want to come? Bad timing? Not everyone in-house having same opinion? All possible, SG doing great, I'm sure they'll let us know when they get someone else in.

It does make you wonder if Matty didn’t feel wanted at the club as suggested that they would have have had someone lined up , think it’s not so much about him not being wanted more the fact he didn’t like losing control like many other managers would.

Don’t know why anyone would be focussed on bringing the average age down, it’s not as if we have to run around for 90 minutes 😁.

Sam Grace will be taking the Spurs job anyway.

Unless they're also old.
