I see we've gone from giving managers months to weeks.

Shameful.
Didn' want him, too early and pointless to get rid now, but clearly our season is over now. His contract situation was unlikely to take him beyond the summer anyway. Use the rest of the time we have to find the correct bloke for the job, and sort the boardroom out KLD.
 
They need confidence and urgency and belief, refusal to be bullied. First half of the season shows they’re capable footballers. He’d have been the perfect person to provide that boost. The whole club would have been given a lift that might well have carried us over the line.
They were his qualities as a player, don’t know if he could still inspire that in players especially at this level after so long out of management. No quick fix I don’t think.
 
Who would he pick instead of Doyle? Batth is injured and Xhemalji was struggling with his movement in the U23s until he was forced into the bench because we sold Flanagan.
Exactly there is no other viable option atm. Xhemalji is way off and nobody even knows if he's any good after his injury. He probably won't play for the 1st team.

Really think we need a foreign manager, an up and coming young coach and give him a clean slate next season.

can’t see it but that’s the route we should be going down IMO.
 
Got nothing against the bloke and he has been dealt a hospital pass by that blurt Speakman.

However, the Keane vultures on here would have been straight in for the kill had he been in charge.

Melts.

"Neil out" tweets already. I seriously doubt the sanity/intelligence of some of our "fans". One thinking Donald was picking the team because it was the same players Johnson used. Who the fuck else is he going to pick?
That does sound crazy, BUT Neil is the choice of a regime that has zero trust from the fans right now. Why would we expect them to have gotten this one right?
 
I still don’t see why we need him? He’s not really a coach, won’t do any better at organising a depleted defence than Neil.

People say he’s a motivator, but most of the players he signed for us and had performing were players he knew personally and had already played with. He can’t do that now unless he’s be filling the squad with 40 year olds
The injury/depleted defence argument was the self same argument people used last season !
I think for certain Keane would pick a side orientated around Defoe and when your desperate its not the kids you look too, but the most experienced.

I wouldn’t take it as read. that it’s actually our fans( hope not anyway!)
Bloke has the worst hand I can recall anyone ever getting
 
Problem is, I've been swilling bottles of London Porter watching the match. Should have been up, but I got Eunice'd/RMT'd
I didn’t bother either despite being over from Qatar. Had a lovely evening at a gorgeous place in rural North Yorkshire, nursed a ninja hangover and laughed at us as we comically defeated ourselves yet again. Just cracked my first beer and heading off out for dinner and drinks with friends in Stokesley.
