New manager thread

[Chrono]

Yes, yes it have.

[Lecter]

By appointing someone whose greatest achievement is promotion with Swansea City then it's clear FSG are simply preparing for relegation next season.

It's the only reasonable explanation.

He does have experience of winning the Championship though

Every cloud has a silver lining

Looks like it's all true then as The Echo claim he has left his job at Swansea.

[Reece]

Its changed now!

Yes, yes it have.

[Lecter]

If that's how you give backing to a manager, have you ever considered becoming a football club chairman?

[Roboklopp]

It's going to be a massive job for him. Don't think he's ready but we'll see. How much time should we give him if things go wrong? 3 years?

18 months as per Kenny.

[Daniel 7]

Its changed now!

[Neil Young]

Rogers "have" signed?

Did Darkon do that?

Or Arn

Darkon IS Arn.

[Vermilion]

@Darkon. Thanks for the articles.

Looks like that Wales friendly in NYC was fortuitous...

Lets hope that he will replicate his Swansea form with us, because if he replicates his Reading form, we might be in big trouble ...

People are entitled to be worried ...

We have just replaced a manager who has won 4 league titles with a manager who was sacked by Reading less than 3 years ago ...

Fair enough, I withdraw the remark. I can see now that this is no time for levity.

My most heartfelt apologies.

I'll support Rodgers and will back him

That said I'm not over enamoured with the appointment

Still on the plus side at least he isnt Roy Hodgson

That is a major plus point

but managed to finish 5 points behind us with a squad costing half of an Andy Carroll

So is a 'Carroll' now an official unit, like a pony, a monkey, and an Archer?

I'm delighted with this, mainly because our football style will dramatically have to change and I am a huge fan of possession football . If all our players respond to this change in tactics we are going to watch some beautiful football over the next few years. Its a huge risk of course but if it works out then we have the potential to generate a lot of excitement about our team. The press and football fans love teams who play hard-working, possession based tactics. It could give us a new look and make us formidable. I just hope that Rodgers knows how to implement this correctly.

I'm made up
