I’ll have been for Micky Phelan. Sen Dyche I remembered as a good centre half who I hated us playing against (but wish we’d sign) but I knew nothing of him as a manager other than he did a stint with the England Under21 (or 23) setup.

Isn’t blakesboots the artist formerly known as Ben Wickes?

Could be I thought Ben W still posted occasionally but of course could be dual account from different IP’s. Seems a similar relationship for sure.

Jenkins is an ALK man - doubt he’ll be going anywhere, quite often when people like that screw up they get a promotion to get them out of the way. Jon Pepper picked up a complete mess when he came in, an academy that was very fortunate to even be category 3. He and his team got us to cat 1 and it i...

I honestly don’t think he’s anywhere near as bad as he’s made out, he’s an absolute unit as well.

We’d have been better off without him on he field that is for certain, bossed us.

Kompany has a less than fifty percent win rate as a manager so far - not bad but not great and not the sort of rate required for promotion from the championship, unless via the play offs. Lots of factors excluded from such a high level view, of course. I’ve read on here that he’s faced various chal...

A weak defensive left flank. Lack of cutting edge. Lack of luck.

Think it is extremely likely he we move back to the Premier this close season, but it may be that he is willing to give it a year to see if we can bounce back before the next international tournament. Obviously Pope would be major plus for any incoming manager.

No way that Ukraine counter attacks where Russia is both strongest in troops, tanks and artillery, and also has extensive supply network behind the line Pretty sure those reserves will go to relieve front line units, who will then refit and rest before they become the units that mount the major cou...

The theory, and who knows how accurate it is, is that ALK/VSL expected to fairly quickly turn over more shares and get additional investment. Various accounts seem to suggest this was attempted but hasn't been overly successful. The question surely now is… are investors more likely to back a winnin...

Another who thinks that previous terms may be the single biggest stumbling block. I sadly expect him to be back in the Premier next season, but cannot blame him or begrudge him the move.

Has he any connection to Kompany or Bellamy?

Trying to think if he was a coach at City with Kompany; but he’ll have coached a hell of a lot of others as England U21 coach… City manager and other backrooms.

Elwa you are as opinionated as anyone else on here, does that make you a little prissy?

Jesus Christ, we’ve been relegated for less than 24 hours. Get a grip people. If you are referring to calls for Pace to make a statement, then I fully agree.

Good even handed report.

I suppose the optimistic view is that if he's going to announce a manager in the next couple of days, now wouldn't be the time to speak. Speaking now would be poorly received, the town is in mourning. He needs to appear by the end of the week with a plan and th manager that will be trusted to imple...

elwaclaret

Yep that's why always said he's undone his hardwork in previous years We don’t know that. Dyche fell out with Garlick and that is when the damage was done. While SD has had nothing but good things to say about Alan Pace, he clearly did not get the players through the door he had hoped for. It seeme...

Isnt this just exercising the option there is in his contract until 2023 rather than a new one? Probably, but we don’t know whose option the extra year was. A good signing, done early; keeping the spine of the team is vital for a quick start next season. All the talk of managerial interviews needs ...

If the new owners have been unable to pay the previous shareholders when the money has been rolling in, how likely is it that they'll be able to pay them in the future when the money starts to dry up?

Every replay I've seen he punches the air, salutes (as he always does), is mobbed by his teammates, then walks back to the centre circle. It's not like he was Adebayor-ing it man.

McNiel’s major downfall is that he switches off out of possession. It made us soft defending the left…. Time and time again the opposition exploited it and it cost us far more goals than McNeil created.

Why would we keep Bardsley when we've got Lowton and Roberts as right backs, surely if funds are tight we can't afford the luxury of 3 right backs.

I think the fallout between Garlick and Dyche had major consequences in all aspects of the club. He was a businessman selling when the asset was at its zenith. Who knows he may be back through the door, yet… to do it again.

Hmmm. I think we might struggle but depends who stays and who we bring in. Getting the right manager is crucial. I fear we will need to rely on cheap unexpected successes and loans to be properly competitive. Pope will go for a fee We might lose McNeil or Cornet but I'm not convinced either have do...
