I'm sure it's no coincidence that nearly every French player we have signed and now this manager are represented by the same agency.
Can't remember who it was, maybe Rubberface, had said we had to sign Aouchiche and Pembele as a pair

I remember when Wolves operated like that, they got promoted to the Premier League and are still there.I'm sure it's no coincidence that nearly every French player we have signed and now this manager are represented by the same agency.

Which everyone has questioned tbf. If he hadn't been a quality player under pep there's no chance he would be anywhere near it. People vent on here but will get behind him. Forum matters little really only what happens in the ground
Thats the clincher for me,what staff if any he brings with him. Don't want Dodds anywhere near making 1st team decisions, he stinks of failure.
So. It's a situation that you can read as a positive or a negative. Its meaningless really.
Got to admit I have no idea how Kompany going to Bayern has any bearing on us whatsoever

First of all, the French top flight is some distance behind the EPL. Secondly, did he get them promoted to the top flight in his fledgling years as a coach. Third of all, has he got any experience in leading teams to trophies?
No comparison at all really but the happy clappers will eat the shit that the club spoon feeds them

I would be less worried about the relegation and more concerned about the reasons stated as to why. All his best players were sold, and a bunch of big name mercenaries came in that messed up the dressing room. The manager fell out with the board and wanted to control transfers, didn't get his way, and it all went to shit.
It all comes down to the window now. While I will probably be shouted down, we have the core of a good side. A good DM and a striker with some other quality sprinkled in and he will have the tools he needs. If he doesn't get that, it probably doesn't matter how good a manager he is.

He didn’t. If there was an actual five man shortlist, and Downie had known, he’d have reported on that a while ago.
The “five man shortlist, this guy was always one of them” line, is blatantly just what the club has fed to Downie today. It’s to give Speakman a bit of cover for the press conference, in which he won’t want to tell the truth.
“We made such a colossal arse of the recruitment process, that in the end we just panicked and settled for this fella”.
