TFG are also an anomaly mate, really we don’t know what they would do, optimally though - I don’t think it’s ever ideal trying to get a manager mid season.

People free for a reason or your looking at poaching someone mid season.

Ideally you’d want to be in that market in the summer.

But ultimately it’s a results industry - if the jepordy and risk meets a threshold, it might be looked at.

Be surprised myself.

We are not the first club where its happened and we won't be the last one either, individuals need to show professionalism now and stand up and be counted so they gain notice for that next step in their career. That includes both players and the manager, the better they do, the better options they will have on the table at the end of the season.

Have all his fanboys been on this morning defending this monstrosity of a coach and you all know who you are. The problem is for them if they come on and defend him they make themselves look even thicker than they already are.

A couple have tried but appear to have completely run out of excuses so just find themselves typing nonsensical factually incorrect misinformation, a couple have diverted to “we’re doing ok actually because the target is 36 points actually” and the other couple have gone completely awol.
 

Such a dysfunctional club. Rationally you have an incredibly difficult run of games. A new manager bounce could fight our way through it. But no. We are guaranteed to have zero chance of getting any points. The board are vacant, pretty vacant…

Not sure I’d agree with that completely about wanting to change to happen in the summer.

If it were me (and this is just how I see things so appreciate it’s subjective) I think if someone become available I really had my eye on, I’d be tempted mid season. Two things so that though good and potentially bad…

1) if not already safe it is completely risky as you say - potentially bad

2) if we looked reasonably like being safe getting a new manager allows them to asses the players for say 6-10 games, which allows momentum for the following season in determining ho goes, who stays and who to target. Essentially I’d be looking to give them a head start going into the summer, but always difficult as you say getting a manager mid summer who is available.

That’s depending on one of two things mate, your absolute no 1 choice being 1) Available or 2) Sacked or 3) Extractable. 3 would the most likely in my opinion, but improbable. Be doing something like Utd did in the week with Ruben and 11 mill in compo - I just think any of those are unlikely for us. Unless the risk escalated.

I don’t think we take the hit in Compo to Dyche and compo to an incoming manager if necessary - certainly not to assess the 12 players we have in contract t next season - just my take, just don’t think it would happen, unless necessary.

Wouldn’t disagree with any of that mate. Will it happen, not so sure.

Dom played like he’s agreed a free to AC Milan yesterday.

Very poor manager but seems like a decent bloke , looked like he enjoyed being here and didn’t act like he was doing us a favour whilst presiding over winless streaks .

Got at least one thing in common with our current manager then

The massive one for them is Paqueta. Probably worth the £75mil (?) City were going to pay for him and now his heads gone due to the betting stuff.

Take out a player like that and boom...

A top form Paqueta in our team and were a decent few places up the table.

Well, he's going to have the run of the park next week.

Won't get a better chance to recapture his form.
