New manager thread

[kop-al-74]

Everybody here seems to be talking as this is inevitable. It isn't.

Hence the word "If"

[vonk]

Fans are the biggest income this club has. If they're unhappy you will eventually know about it financially.

Edit: IF it doesn't work out.. Which at this point is a big IF because he's not even the manager yet.

How? You think people will stop buying shirts or boycott games or cancel their sky subscription? No chance. Didn't happen under Hodgson, not going to happen now.

he does race tauruses though, maybe he's a decent racer? and by that logic, how does anybody ever prove themselves capable of driving a ferrari? we'd be in a world where they only people who could drive a ferrari were the people who built them.

You drive the taurus better than anybody else and IMO logically you would drive a better car like an Aston Villa (car references aren't great ) you then prove you're capable at driving that car better than anyone on that level.

If I worked in admin and did well at my job, should I be promoted to team leader or get a place on the board?

[Neil Young]

yes.

I see. Can they be argumentative too? Or serene?

I was under the impression they could be either lazy or stonking. I had no idea they had such a broad emotional range.

"Ok, so they put £300m + of their own money on the line, but that doesn't give them the right to give a manager a chance who I have a gut feeling won't be the best option"

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Yes, but that will be based on how the team performs. We'll sell out our season ticket spares this summer whoever is made manager. We'll get the same TV money. We'll sell the same number of shirts around the world. The appointment of Martinez won't cost us money. The way he performs as manager could of course.

I edited.. I mean if the fans are proven correct that its a bad decision, which as everyone should know, isn't definite.

[Buzzo]

Fans being unhappy at the appointment won't be a massive concern for them as it doesn't cost them money. The manager being **** would, but seeing as that isn't the forgone conclusion that many are suggesting, the fan reaction will be secondary to them compared to appointing who they think is the best available option. It's not that complicated mate.

It is a bit complicated. I'm just tired

Yes but just because they built a ferrari it doesn't mean they can drive one

Everybody would have to just leave them in their driveways as an ornament and say 'hey look at me, I've got a ferrari'.

Ossett Albion - my hometown club

Judging by the state of the world economy, the latter.

How soon can you start?

they can be sad, quixotic...you name it.

[vonk]

you're right, they should surrender their own ideas and rights as owners because fans have an unreasonable lob on.

Who do they think they are...

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

If we keep hiring manager that fans are opposed to before hand and we get Hodgson results over and over.. Fans will stop going to games, stop buying merchandise.. And do you think the fans from all around the world will be there forever? Not a chance, if carry on like this and finish around 8th the numbers will dwindle. Chelsea have caught up already.

That'll be the gluten and post-sugar rush crash.
