Who was a prodigy at Man U and since won a promotion with the club that gave him a chance. This Bloomfield has gone straight into management, is yet to achieve anything of note as a manager. I wouldn’t write him off but it’s not an appointment that makes me believe he can take us forward.

If you’re going to sack such a legend, you’ve got to make the next appointment an exciting one. A manager at the top end of L1 is not exciting - we’ve seen a few L1 managers struggle e.g. Schumacher, Warne. I like Carsley but do not fancy anyone who has no experience of being at the top end...

The economics for ordinary people were bad. Inflation was up 9% and food groceries were up 20%. Bill Clinton’s adage of ‘it’s the economy, stupid’ rung true again - inflation growth trumped GDP growth in this election. Bernie Sanders put it best when he called out the Harris campaign for...

Right so the master plan of replacing Mark Robins is a manager who’s never managed in the Championship? In fact, he’s in his 3rd year as a manager… He may be a good manager, but this has disaster written all over it.

Imagine her in charge of the country’s budget… The ROI for paying for all those celebrity endorsements is astonishingly low. Comfortably the worst candidate since Dukakis.

Will that be Dr Claire-Marie Roberts fault too? 😂

I don’t think Eccles has played particularly well either - our results before Sheaf came back were poor. The midfield just isn’t good enough and in truth, hasn’t been since Hamer left. Our form against top half teams showed that last season, this season… it’s bad against everyone. Our defence...

Fully in agreement here, I trusted and wanted to believe MR was going to turn it around again. Thinking forward, this next manager needs to have experience getting promoted to the Prem and/or managed there. They need to be demonstrably a better manager than MR. Otherwise, the knives will be out...

I agree with you. Let’s be honest, if we had a manager that didn’t have the ‘credit in the bank’, the knives would’ve out sooner. Looking at the ‘Robins in or out’ polls a lot of people defending Robins (including myself) was based on loyalty and performances ‘not being that bad’. I’ve...

She doesn’t pick the team or tactics. This is silly talkZ

You’re dead right. It wasn’t just a short period of bad form. Over the last 20-30 games we’ve lost far too many games. If any other manager was in charge, we’d have called on him to be sacked based on form. Honestly say I would have. Perhaps sentiment and/or loyalty was clouding our judgement...

The manager is responsible for motivating the players and frankly, our issues this year have been tactical. We’ve lost to some average teams who have approached the game in more or less the same way. Singling out the performance director is just a bit bizarre. The performances haven’t been...

I mean, the job title of head coach and manager are more or the less the same now. To reiterate, I wouldn’t have sacked Robins. However, it was someone who didn’t have 6-7 good years previously, you’d look our form at the tail end last season and this one and you’d sack them. I’m fully aware...

The home form in particular just hasn’t been good enough. We’ve lost 4 home games already. There is a real risk that we’ve been badly exposed to the teams that are defensive and physical. Eccles and Sheaf being 2 pivots is something that worked last season but looks completely broken this...

There’s two major red flags for me: 1) It’s DK’s first time hiring a new manager I worry he’ll give it to a ‘chancer’ and there’s a risk we get sucked into genuine relegation dogfight 2) The new manager is replacing our most successful manager since Jimmy Hill The next manager is replacing...

How was he going to get a goodbye? I regard Robins as a god (as a joke ofc…) but he does bare some blame for where we are. He has had a lot of money to spend and we’ve definitely gone backwards from the summer. Again, I wouldn’t have made this decision but the home record is a disgrace and this...

I’m glad you said that first line because I felt the same, it just seemed dramatic to me to make the comparison. To hear that we haven’t got someone lined up because ‘we’re taking our time’ making a decision is genuinely infuriating. My ‘bet’ is that we’ll get an absolute blagger in as the...

You probably don’t want an owner who reads the room of football fans constantly. Fickle and irrational. It’s a bold move to sack Robins (not the decision I’d have made) and we better have a good replacement lined up to turn the ship around. End of an era and in a state of shock.

The Democrats outspent the Republicans 3 to 1 this election. Google and Microsoft were their biggest donors. Both platforms were caught red handed suppressing 1) On election day, you could google locations to vote for Kamala but not Trump that Google had to patch 2) YouTube had a “technical...

Seltzer’s poll was an outlier and most polls had Trump winning it. She was out by 14% so clearly her methodologies and/or samples were flawed. Clearly Trump ran a much better campaign than Harris because he’s outperformed the polls with an apparently all time unpopular VP candidate. On top of...
