Next Manager

[OzzieFox]

Cheers, its amazing how I can go from "Meh" to "****ing brilliant" just listening to the Specials and considering ourselves as The Ruuuuud Boys!
Also, he's not Cooper, worth celebrating.

Am I right in remembering that when Our Jamie broke Nan Nistlerooys record, RvP was full of appreciation of Our Jamie, and happy for him?

Very good of Robin Van Persie to do that. What did Ruud say? ;-)

 

[SilverFox]

Yes of course things haven’t been as good in the Premier League than in the Championship.

Another dumb comparison that has no resemblance to the article.

****ing hell wish I hadn’t posted it now.

Was the stellar pre season and thriller at Walsall not a fair enough comparator?

Pre season friendlies and a second string cup game at Walsall…****ing hell you can’t make this up

 

[homer]

my general thoughts.

1. Cooper had to go. It wasn’t working and wasn’t going to and performances were getting worse.

2. I’d have preferred a more proven set of hands here, but if we are limited to “free agents” and both Moyes and Potter passed, it’s slim pickings

3. Pretty skeptical he has what is needed in this situation. I’m actually surprised he took the job, given its risks to him. Still, let’s see, eh?

4. If Top actually cares about fixing the club and its reputation he needs to clear out that boardroom and leadership suite. Until then, we are massively hamstrung

Just about right

The Ranieri and Maresca appointments were both massive gambles and paid off in spades. Hopefully this one does too

That’s how we all felt watching the clueless inept display of ‘football’ we saw in those matches. Mate.

They were top top performances, and we were lucky to see them

Hope so. We’ll see.

You seem a bit more positive about it since the time a Championship side was rumoured to be appointing him. Surely it can’t have been those two matches against ****wit Cooper that changed your mind?

Meanwhile, Burnley appoint Van Nistleroy

I was pointing out that Burnley would have been making a much better appointment than us appointing Cooper, you stunningly thick ****ing idiot

 

[glyn]

Fair play he’s got some self confidence taking on this club after seeing us capitulate twice against his MU side.

Sure about that?

 

[homer]

What a shitshow we were, you stupid ignorant fool - that is blindingly obvious to anyone

please stop showing yourself up you very stupid, odd little man

Jebus, you couldn’t make this up. You just can’t teach stupid

He’s very clearly saying in that thread that our choice of manager is a shitshow. The post immediately above the “meanwhile, Burnley appoint Van Nistleroy” post refers to the appointment of Cooper. I think it’s fairly obvious in its proper context that Homer hasn’t decided to go off grid and start talking about the quality of Burnley’s choices.

Do you think we can all put down the silliness and step away from it. No one needs to try to ‘one up’ anyone else on here. We are all entitled to our views. I didn’t think Cooper was right for us. It’s fine other people think he was. I don’t feel particularly strong feelings about RvN either, but as before we will just have to wait and see. It’ll no doubt be anything but boring.

I didn’t read it that way at all.

But anyway, he’s found his way on to my ignore list as well, so it’s done now.

No longer will I have to read the “top top manager” shite he keeps trotting out to try to ‘one up’ me as you say, or be called lots of different names because he’s not clever enough to articulate himself without doing so, so it’s all good.

Other person, not people.

It better not be. The last thing some people want is for a manager to turn us into a boring regularly winning football team. For one person tho', losing while being thoroughly boring doesn't appear to have been a problem.

 

[Volpone]

Prefer the original.

 

[M17TT C]

This forum is getting less entertaining than we were under Cooper!

 

[Cambridge_fox]

It’s got boring as ****.

My views (for what it’s worth) is that Cooper was a backwards move after last year. I hoped it would work out, but the football and management was terrible. He had to go. RvN is another gamble. But it sure as hell has got me more excited than I was in the summer after Cooper’s appointment. What I don’t understand is why we haven’t gone for a manager who in Moyes would pretty much guarantee our safety. Why risk so much?
