Kinda shocked to see so many people voting for RvN. Plenty of awful managers have done well in the Eredivisie (no I'm not looking at you Schteev McLaren) and 2nd is a par at best for Eindhoven (4 first, 4 seconds in the last ten years). Add in that their squad that year was ridiculous, he fell...

They won the league the year after he left having sold a bunch of his players for big money. Not sure if that goes down as a +ve or -ve.

On the flip side it is good to see the Robins out brigade so excited by the options. 😂

Wavering between yes and meh. I tend to think he will be the most popular realistic candidate but I'm making big assumptions about who else is in the hat and envisaging a relatively low bar.

I know a few Spaniards and I definitely get the impression that they view it as a proper trophy which then of course led on to the Euros win. I don't think it will ever be as popular as the other two under the current format though. I also know a few Greeks who absolutely loved beating us so...

Sorry that is what I meant. We were still relatively short odds on promotion just after we sacked Robins.

Feel free to make your own thread. ;)

Wanted to match up with the Lamps one but if you want I can start another poll with that in.

They weren't a week ago. I looked about the same time we sacked Robins.

Turner gets a lot of flack (maybe rightly so) but that is a fascinating watch.

I know everybody hates polls so feel free to ignore that bit. Felt he deserved his own thread rather than being discussed elsewhere. I feel most people aren't that excited but he has some pluses. e.g. Links with the club/city, high profile, links with the FA, should have excellent knowledge of...

What's wrong with that dog? Where's it's f#king face?

Interesting article. Those criticising Lampard for not taking Derby up with his Chelsea kids should take a look at that PSV team. NB. not intended as a criticism but it is pretty tasty.

Yeah, was trying to make this point earlier. Not sure anyone has been really pumped for the Carsley/Lampard era but if one of them is appointed, meh, whatever let's get behind them.

I'm not even touching that thread. 😂

This is why I am done with this discussion. The owner has set out his expectations. Some people on here want to believe those expectations are an impossible pipe dream. They quite clearly aren't but if they wish to believe that they are then I really couldn't care less. I suspect we are boring...

No. Should I?

There is significant churn over the course of a championship season. If you are expecting the final championship table to look broadly like it does now you are in for a shock. I'm done debating this. Jordan and king agree we should be aiming for playoffs, we've done it before, other teams have...

It would take a lot of work to stat this out but every year you you get teams come from those sort of points margins down to appear in the playoffs. Some fall away again after but it is not a significant gap and that is clearly where Doug thinks we should be come the end of the season.

Give Doug his due, his argument was that this only became a transitional season because Robins refused to work with Vivesh. Pesonally I still think Robins was our best bet long term and the Talksport interview was really odd in that Doug was basically saying 'I sacked him because we couldn't...
