Thinking ahead, it gives the chance for a new manager to establish their transfer targets for Jan and summer 2025. It’s a risky move for Doug and if the appointment is underwhelming, it’ll unravel rapidly.

Price controls/caps almost always end in failure. A lot of Americans want jobs, not charity from the federal government - see the difference in the approach from the campaigns? It’s the taxpayer who funds this increase in government expenditure and Harris couldn’t rule out tax rises whereas...

Time will tell who is right and at the end of the day, neither of us live in the states so it won’t impact us directly yet. We survived one Trump administration, I am confident we’ll survive.

When the dust settles, sensible people of the left will come to realise just how bad a candidate and campaign Harris 2024 was. Right now, many people are in the grieving stage of ‘denial’. Trump not only won the electoral college, he swept all the swing states and won the popular vote. In fact...

He sounds like a good manager but in reality, we’re trying to get promoted as a club, presumably. Therefore, why would we hire a manager with no a) 2nd division experience or b) promotion experience.

She had a teleprompter at a town hall and would only appear on sympathetic outlets. Her appearance on 60 minutes and Fox News were disasters - Harris is an expert filibuster. Meanwhile, Trump and Vance appeared on multiple podcasts and that was well received. Harris would only go on there if...

Of the two candidates, I believe Trump is a better candidate and ran a better campaign. Early in the campaign Trump painted inflation as being driven by the Democrats and it cut through. Whenever the candidates were interviewed, Trump was a lot better at articulating his policies whereas...

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...
