  1. It does not really look as though he is. As Zat posted, looks very like jobs for the boys.
  2. His appearance is interesting. Certainly much more acceptable, I would think, for Xia's global image. Not suggesting, of course, that it is deliberate, given the time frame, but just interesting.
  3. Straight in there, eh? Maybe give the guy a chance to get through the door.
  4. Likewise. He does not have the pizzazz Xia will be wanting.
  5. This. I am not convinced that it is going to be any of the names that have been mentioned. This is Xia remember, so who knows.
  6. I would have him back in a heartbeat. Better than Westwood or Jedinak or Gardner.
  7. I think this is correct. I think I and many supporters will expect him to achieve results pretty much immediately. Otherwise why bother with such a mediocre appointment.
  8. Spent a lot at Sunderland, to little effect. Left them with a lot of expensive dross to shift, if I recollect.
  9. Ender4 was joking. And you did read that he is in China, but was coming back next week to finalise manager selection.
  10. I would suggest it means little, and should certainly not be worrisome. Huddersfield fans may say he would be mad to join us and the Huddersfield board may say they hope to keep him, but that means nothing.
  11. Hardly a ringing endorsement. And I don'e even agree with the good bits.
  12. I am still of the opinion that Xia will go for a `name'. Global recognition is important to him. If not that, then at least having 'the look' of a manager going places.
  13. It depends on what transparency shows. It might stir up a storm of anxiety.
  14. Check out the last sentence in that article. Just remember if results improve it is down to the tireless work of RDM.
  15. I think the `promotion' - `safe mid-table' discussion is probably futile. I think that any manager coming in is bound to aim for promotion, not safe mid-table. If he were to aim for the latter he will be doomed to fail.
  16. I suspect that Xia will go for the Wagner type of manager, or a `name'. I really do not think that Bruce and that type of manager will be Xia's choice, though he may well have someone like that chosen for him by Wyness and Round.
  17. And petrol. You filled your tank for ten bob (50p).
  18. No. Seriously? They do some really odd things in the Championship.
  19. Laursen will be very lucky if he ever gets the opportunity to manage Aston Villa.
  20. Did you not see the Newcastle match? Clark was so much better than our defenders.
