In the Guardian now too. Not actual confirmation of signing though.

Not impressed by those videos at all. I like to see a manager giving considered directions to the players. Perhaps, for example, talking about the opposition and areas he’s spotted in the first half that can be exploited, or where the other team have been gaining an advantage and how to stop it. Jus...

I think in 2 or 3 weeks time we'll know which part of the league table will be concerning us. By then we should know who the new manager is, and have a good idea as to what Pace's intentions are. So far Pace has been able give us a lot of smoke and mirrors, but that won't be possible anymore. His wo...

Jackson has done an admirable job (although I think he got it badly wrong today) but if he’s our first team manager next season then we’re up **** creek without a paddle. Is the job he’s done really that admirable? The initial ‘bounce’ seemed to owe more to the players revelling in having a bit mor...

Well, the only thing we have to go on are Russian opinion polls, which are at about 80% in favour What Russia has managed to do is completely shut down all protests and control the Russian media narrative I don't think my guess is that far out tbf! I don’t think you can take anything from polls tak...

Very unlikely

Putin support is rock solid among everybody but (I'm guessing) the military

Really?! Whilst I agree that a coup seems unlikely, for you to suggest that Putin has rock solid support from everybody, apart from maybe the military, seems a stretch to say the least.

If I was being being impartial and brutally honest I'd have us as favourites to go down. Unfortunately even though it's in our hands with the games us and Leeds have left we're pretty much relying on other teams to help us out. Hope I'm completely wrong like. Sadly, these are my thoughts too. I don...

Always a Claret was Roger. Let 4 goats pass him in 45 minutes at Cambridge in 85/6 season and then helped us in our way in 92 by shipping another 3.

Yup, remember that. 0-4 before half time. Don’t think the Cambridge fans appreciated Roger happily talking to Burnley fans under the circumstances.

I hadn’t realised Roger Hansbury was in goal for them that night.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

Because who is going to accept a job for a few games? Perhaps the carrot of the job on a permanent basis if we stay up but it narrows the field somewhat. All manner of reasons. The most probable being cash. Your suggestion that someone would only come with the promise of a later move into some kind...

The only way an interim comes in is if he is going to be moving upstairs in the summer

Why would this be the only way?

hoskinsgoalatswansea

The plan is to appoint an Interim manager until the end of the season, and then appoint a new full time manager in the summer. Some have already been interviewed, with more due in the coming days. https://theathletic.com/3253363/2022/04/18/ornstein-chelsea-bidders-consider-paul-mitchell-the-arsenal...

Management teams are exactly that - a team Dyche is the head of their gravy train so Woan and Mercer will follow knowing they have a pay off and another salary just around the corner They don’t get to decide to be fired with the coach. That decision is the chairman’s. They can choose to walk in a c...

hoskinsgoalatswansea

I don't think it really works like that. Mercer will have left because of Dyche leaving, not because he was pushed specifically himself. I don’t think that’s the case. They’re not all piled in to one contract. That’s why assistant managers often take over for interim periods. So I don’t see why Mer...

hoskinsgoalatswansea

There’s not much about all of this that isn’t baffling, but the oddest part for me is the removal of Billy Mercer. As far as I know he’s not involved with tactics or any significant part of the match day set up. All he seems to be responsible for is developing keepers, and with a track record that s...

Was it maybe the previous year's footage that wasn't released? 2-1 win in April 1991 with 2 goals from Roger Eli. Tuesday night game. I remember that not being included on the highlights video.

If I remember correctly he scored one of the goals in a crucial win against Leicester at the back end of 17/18 when it was basically us or them for the last European slot.

I was in town yesterday and saw a young child (maybe around 6 or 7) kicking pigeons. Her mum was talking to another woman and had her back turned. I just politely told the mum what was happening. It led to me being subjected to a barrage of abuse from them and then an older woman and I was then thr...

Incredible goal. Alas, another defeat.

It finished 2-2. A valuable point at the time.

Brilliant! Thanks Tony. I thought I was in bother when I saw the thread title. As a kid Ash was my favourite player, and I remember my dad used to do business with FH Brown who used to sponsor games occasionally, so he took me in the sponsors lounge and I got Ash’s autograph.

Dyche will be here for his 4 year deal at least as I get the impression the new owners won’t want to waste money, so the only way he leaves is if he walks, which let’s be honest even if we go down he’s not going to get a better job than top end championship which we will be. In my opinion there’s n...

If an idiot like Shearer can spot what’s been going wrong then I’m sure SD can and will be taking steps to sort it

How sure are you? It’s been like this for a while now.

hoskinsgoalatswansea

If Dyche goes a left field option could be Emma Hayes She is highly respected as a coach and we would get a lot of interest and recognition in hiring her. This is an interesting one. The more I think about it the more I like it. Great coach who talks a lot of sense and is very well respected. At th...

I’d really like the journalists to ask tougher questions to the manager. The club and local rag journos seem to be too scared to ask Dyche a question that might even have a hint of criticism in it. The club video, I think it might be Phil Bird, starts with ‘Gaffer, a difficult one to take, at 1-1 we...

After seeing Roberts in the recent Welsh games I’m not sure he’ll get that opportunity in this team, as good as Tripps is. Yup.

Odd turn of events in the shirt saga this morning. Went in to the shop with my wife to buy her a shirt, and the girl who works there recognised me and asked if I still wanted an m sized 3rd shirt as a few had come in that morning. Got the shirt and thanked her for remembering me. On my way out got a...

I don't really see how it was "clearly going to be more popular than the others". I'm sure the club think they have produced three "great looking shirts" every season. I'm not sure how the club could have predicted the demand for this when forecasting using previous season's data. I guess it’s all ...

I sent an email to the club questioning the size of the initial stock and subsequent decision to not reorder more of a popular product. I received a reply within 24 hours from someone called James Forsyth. The general gist of his reply is that they ordered as much as the two previous 3rd shirts whic...

I still think he’s a top manager for us and certainly don’t want him to leave. One criticism I have though is our inability to change shape in a game. I’ve seen too many times in recent months us taking the lead and the opposition changing formation to load the central midfield and we just don’t ada...
