Best Of

Schumacher is a great choice (why I voted for him), he's a young-un at 40, learnt his trade at Everton, then Bury & worked wonders at Plymouth to get them to the Championship, he moved to Stoke & kept them up, but as is ever the way in the cutthroat world of Stoke they chose to sack him after 2 wins out of 5 at the start of his second season.

RC did say we'd have the best entertainment in the league, but he said a lot of things, she's getting on a bit now but aren't we all?

Have any of these managers got experience of coming in mid-season at clubs who have had a superb start to the season but just hit a slight lull (4wins out of 10ish sort of fare) and going great guns?

Or is that too specific?

Schumacher won this league playing really attractive football with a similar system to ours. He also showed at Stoke that he wasn't afraid to eschew style for substance when it was really needed in the fight for survival. Harshly sacked there.

Can we just take a pause to appreciate the use of the word "eschew" there?

That report that comes out every now and then with every team's agent payment totals is going to make very interesting reading.

they'll quickly get into the groove

That's a fair argument, one i had may not have considered being at a relatively young age. I take your point

If they look at that and go for Holden, I'd seriously question their data interpretation skills

Perfect place to vent, console, encourage, respect.

But wasn’t there (cringey) talk of emailing Rice! That goes beyond the forum. Embarrassing if anyone did btw.
