Bloomfield has a few good months at a lower level - rest is mid-table results. Doesn't feel like that is good enough.

I know Stoke are a basket-case but Schumacher won League One with Plymouth (ahead of Ipswich) and got them looking good in this league - and he failed.

Seems like going for the flavour of the month.

Yeah, it would have that feel. Doesn't mean it won't work and be the right decision, but ideally you'd have someone come in with a couple of seasons of high performance under their belt. Maybe he's getting rave reviews from people who taught him, worked with him (FA etc.)? Guess we'll find out.

We need a manager who appeals to the fans. If only to give the new manager time.

if it’s Beale I’d give it 3 games before we turn on him

I really liked Robins, I hope that this move pays off.
The list of big name favourites to take over makes me shudder as I remember Peter Reid.

Dont worry I can remember Gordon Milne.

I don't really want the bloke from Wycombe, wouldn't work a fella who has spent his years playing in the lower divisions rightly or wrongly won't command the respect of multi million pounds worth of talent

Then again I didn't want Robins to go that much I am struggling to get myself excited about anybody

Don't think Lampard would be as disastrous as people are making out but I'd have still kept MR over him

I just want someone who plays attacking football

We have some posters on here who rubbished Kompany but that's exactly what I wanna see. Free flowing risk taking football.

Not really got any names. Carsley or potter would be good but can't see them dropping down

What gives you that impression?

I think he is a very intelligent man who knows football, tactics etc and therefore makes an excellent pundit. Doesn't make him a great manager...

Surely even DK's not daft enough to think the Wycombe manager will be able to dictate to £5m players how they should play when they wouldn't do it for someone with Viveash' pedigree (allegedly)

Viveash’s pedigree was youth football and Cirencester Town

Because I don't think his track record is as bad as people are making out

Derby play-off final, Chelsea top 4 in his first season and Everton every manager there since David Moyes has been fighting against the tide from the off

You need an attacking midfielder for that, something Robins has not been afforded this season. I like Carsley and the fans would give him the time needed to get it right.

At Derby Chelsea loaned him 2 England internationals, you could argue he underperformed.

The point is that Viveash isn’t some legendary figure within the game - he only had a reputation to speak of with ex-Chelsea youth players, and we ended up signing most of them!

I think our current squad has ambitions of working with a different calibre of setup and I don’t think Robins could (or wanted to) offer that.

Tomori, Mount, Wilson, Cole are all just as good

He also was utter wank when Chelsea brought him loads of players

Well yes, Ashley Cole in his pomp obviosuly but not Ashley Cole who was only playing because Craig Forysth got sent off in the Semi Final

Chelsea lost Hazard and only brought in Kovacic in his first season and they were 4th

They're about the same, stop trying to pretend Lampard is in anyway a good manager. it's more weird than pretending block 11 is better than the corner.

Pure weirdo behaviour
