Tony is trying his best, he's very keen that's for sure. I just feel sometimes a bit of naivety comes out of him. Least we know what's going on around the club with Tony round.

He'll take a break now with that huge payout he'll get. It'll be difficult for him to find a premier league job now though.

Anyone for Chris Wilder doing an excellent job with Sheffield United, maintained a good home record playing some great exciting attacking football. Also did a reasonable good job before then with Northampton Town gaining promotion from league two to league one.

Come home Martin!

With all due respect what as Sherwood won as a player compared to Terry? Terry has worked under top coaches while at Chelsea and probably learn't a few tricks, I mean there's Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourhino, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafa Benitez, Antonio Conte... The best manager Sherwood worked for was Kenny Dalglish.

Think it might work, maybe get Drogba down here as coach too

We shouldn't care about Gabby should have gone years time to move on. We need to look to future and we should be looking at building up likes of Davis, Green and Grealish.

Think I'd rather stick with Bruce than end up with Moyes. Another scary name to mention is McClaren, frightening he has not been mentioned yet.

Not sure, I would have thought someone like Terry would have already would have took that into account and done it years ago.

My money is on John Terry like or not, probably one of the main reasons why he joined probably knew Bruce was under a lot of pressure coming into the new season and thought at least if he's around the club he might stand a good chance in getting the job.

Well I'm not saying its impossible but more unlikely. We certainly need a good run between now and Christmas.

Even though this is a tight league, I think that poor start as done us for the play offs. I think a top half finish is achievable but the highest I can see us finishing is 8th.

Barton's character wouldn't help resolve issues hence why he's getting kicked out of Rangers.

As mentioned in another thread Matty James from Leicester to help solve that midfield role. On loan shouldn't cost us too much Jacques Maghoma from the scum, good winger with a good bit of pace and stamina. Be a bit pricey due to huge fee the scum will put on him, knowing we're after him. Kazenga LuaLua from Brighton a decent winger. Brighton won't let him go cheap Scott Parker from Fulham, a good solid midfielder with bags of experience. Due to his age he may not cost to much Knockaert from Brighton, seen and heard good things about him fantastic winger. Brighton won't let go cheap.

For me the only way we can work round this is to go for a 5-3-2 formation, with our current problems we have I think this is the only few systems I think we can use. I'm afraid on the only way we can go forward is sitting back, letting them have possession and looking to try and catch them on the counter. GK: Gollini CB: Elphick CB: Baker CB: Chester RWB: Bacuna LWB: Grealish (this is going raise a few questions, but now and again he can pull off the odd good tackle and the only one I can think off who has pace on the left side to catch teams on the counter) CDM: Tshibola RCM: Gardner (is he injured I'm on not sure) LCM: Jedinak RS: Gestede or Ayew (though Ayew as the pace for this system) LS: McCormack Not sure if the loan window is open or do they still run it but how about Matty James from Leicester, can't get a game there at all. He was excellent at this level.
