Pedantic? Yes! OK then top 4. I think he has moved on since then and is a much better manager now? Anyway if we got in 'Arry I for one would be looking forward to the new season. Better than waiting for the blithering french crock to have us in the bottom 3 at Christmas and run off with his tail between his legs!

Like who? Petrov looked 10 times the player Makoun is the final games and I wouldn't put him as better than the best? People are making judgements on a player on one game for us and a couple for his previous side, madness? Berson had a couple of good games for us, didn't make him up there with the best.

Well exactly, they have a good manager! I have very little doubt that with our current squad and 'Arry in charge we wouldn't have diced with relegation like we had? (We also won't have brought Bent on the down side)? A 'good' manager makes all the difference and when we get one I will be truly excited rather than the deflated feeling I get at the thought of Houllier returning!

We are not the sty dwellers but the mighty Villans! What was in Randy's five year plan? To finish 9th? I didn't think so? Spuds and Everton have both acheived CL spots and have not spent as much money as us. Why not dream! With a good manager we could achieve top 4 and once you are in it?

There's no room for sentiment in business and running a football club at the end of the day is business! We need to act quickly or all that will be left out there in the market will be dross like Fat Sam, Curbs or FSW!!

For me the jury's out! Has shown some potential but not enough yet! Needs to work very hard over the summer! I think people are going to be very disappointed if they think we have a world beater on our hands?

Couldn't resist it!!

Ancellotti>Moyes>Hughes>Benetez>Fat Sam>Curbs>Houllier!! However what our board will is wait until every other club and manager has moved and wait to see what's left?

That's exactly what the idiot frenchman did when he came in without any justification! Not all managers come in and upset all the playing staff!! We need someone who can actually build a team and style of play that is worth watching and preferably not disrespect the club and it's fanbase! Let sleeping dogs lie and we will be relegated next year, get rid of that idiot and get in a proper manager and the grass is greener I have seen it!

Oh yes I hate his management style!!! He's a shit manager with a dodgy ticker! Why are we still debating him being manager? It's a farce!

Seconded! MOYES, MOYES, MOYES!!

I still don't see what nationality has got to do with success? Arsenal didn't empoly Whinger because he is French so on and so forth! Clubs employ managers because of the management skills etc. I think Chelski and ManC's have gone Italian for the European Club competitions and both feel that the continental approach should lead to cups wins in Europe? This has not worked thus far. True, and the failures came around because of the intense pressure on those positions and none of the above had really worked under the mircoscope before. The same could be said of the likes of GT I in the England job the list goes on. What a manager must do is fit the club from a character point of view therefore SIGN UP MOYES! Not because he is British but because he 'fits' our club. I couldn't care less if he was Nepalise, Australian, Greek, Italian or a Mongal he IMO has the character best suited to us.

Oh No SGC has found a friend??? Forget Fat Sam even the Mirror won't put this story in their rotten rag because the chances of it happening are zilch! No one I am not really bothered what nationality our next manager is, so long as he can manage properly! To be honest as an Englishman and Brummie I don't really want him to be Scotish or Welsh, they hate the English more than the French. But that is secondary to whoever the best candidate is at the time!! Anyway enough of this 'Buy British' campaign, go and iron your blackshirts!

Be careful what you wish for? Fortunately those aren't the only choices out there!

Rich fat ****/really ugly blokes can get plenty of beautiful women into bed! The only requirement is being rich! Peter Crouch, Wayne Rooney, Donald Trump, Paul Daniels???

Considering the current holders of that trophy would you like to reverse your opinion? ManUre and Barca are not as good as the knuckledragging baby rapists?? Mmmmmm!!! Fat Sam is not the man for us! No ambition!!

I agree with your misses but would put your neutrals into your hits as they have all proved to be worthwhile players either from a moneitary or playing point of view? Also players like Neville and Yobo have been sucesses under him and he has brought a few good young players through the ranks. Gad are you quietly confident on this one or think it's all 2 + 2 =5?

Looked allright and certainly better than Makoun had! Needs a run in the team and certianly earned a start against the Plop next week.

It was a bit tongue in cheek and yes I have taught my 9 year old that winning is all that counts in life??

The only reason Bent came here was to get out of the scotish team (as the fans had turned on him) and for money! Why leave a team in the top half of the table to come to a team in the relegration battle? Not because of some manager who won a couple of cups with Liverpool and winning the french league with Lyon doesn't count because my 9 year old son can do that on FM. I am glad Bent did leave because we would have been down with the Shammers by now without him! I don't think that transfers are as big an issue as some make out, having an ounce of common sense is a good start for a manager and realising that round pegs in square holes don't fit is a start.

Exactly! And IMO it is down to the shocking management we have seen since GH took over. All teams have injuries and yes to the same extent we have at one point this season. We have only got to safety this season because GH finally realised that employing the same formation and tactics as the previous incumbent did last year. If only GH had realised this early then maybe we would have been safe earlier rather than persisting with a style of play that clearly the players did not like or were able to translate to on the pitch?

Hey I heard Mourinho phoned Randy straight after the game?? Yeah let's go out and put this months wages on us winning the league next year, after all we have beaten Arsenal in the last but one game, it doesn't matter about the rest of this season results hey!!!!

Errmmmm???? I don't see any top class players other than Bent SIGNED so far? Bent signed for Villa not Houllier and had Moyes, Coyle, MON or Fat Sam been in charge Bent still would have signed!!! Why do people talk about the pull of GH??? TOTAL MYTH and FANTASY!! Looking at the game yesterday why couldn't we have played this well for the rest of the season? We suddenly remembered how to defend? The players looked like they cared for once?

Just my impression of him is that he is a bit dour and monotone? Maybe it's the Welsh thing? I think Moyes would be great for us and would be interested in a challenge? He would settle straight in and bring the players together?

Don't really like the guy? He makes DoL look like Mr Personality? IMO he gives the impression of a plodder!
