    How does the World Cup make any difference to the stagnant pool of water we’ll be fishing in for players? FFS some people lap up the shite Edin trots out. Just get behind the lads...... Bollocks

    The £300k is annually. So years 2 & 3 of the contract are covered.

    I'm more than happy for players to improve. We can have a team of 24 year olds for me. It's the feeder club mentality and the Grodowski's that I don't like. How much money, time & effort has put into Grodowski?

    What a waste.

    Errrrrr .......... It's a distraction ! And will affect the thinking of many PL and Championship Clubs in their own activity, and therefore their squads. And who's lapping up any shite ?
    You got outa' the wrong side of bed, Michael ? ;)

    The vast majority of failed first time coaches don't get a second chance. Those that do usually fail again.

    That's because they are usually not very good.

    There's a big reason Gerrard has taken the job, he's got good money to spend. They're suddenly spending millions.

    Warburton never had that. He was picking up free transfers.

    Forest is a bit harsh. Karanka did nothing with that group of players either. He'll probably question why he took the job. No money, a poor squad, high expectations...........sound familiar?

    Won’t be distracting too many League Two, Conference or German third tier clubs though. That’s where we’ll be signing players from.

    I hope I am completely wrong, and we have a winning team come kick off. I honestly can’t think of a season where I was expecting us not to do well. Even during the dark days of admin, we just dig deep and supported the team. In those days we actually knew why we were in a mess.

    I would say that puts the Drury rumours to bed then. If he was set to be installed, why would they need to delay another week. Sounds like they still have to meet up with candidates yet. Maybe not bowled over with candidates they have already met, or someone is keeping them waiting for answer- Warburton?

    I said it a couple of weeks ago, we'd be in no rush whatsoever. Edin will be in his element making the signings etc.
    Added to which, there are many jobs available that are more attractive than this one.

    McCann clear favourite with BetVictor now at Evens. I think the bookies have as much idea as us.
    Arteta odds on favourite for Arsenal job over the weekend, and now look set to name Emery as manager

    Warburton is probably waiting to see if he can get a Championship job.
    Or we were poorly prepared. I can't imagine that ever happening.

    Very few managers have not experianced failure at some time in their careers, I prefer to look at what they have achieved.

    I'd suggest the latter because we put all our eggs in the Grayson basket, without a plan B.
