  1. I think we've tried the change. DM assembled a team of older players and when he left we had about 10 left.

    The shouts last season - we're an old team. get some young lads in. Why do other teams get the unheard of young talent. We get some in and it is useless kids who we've never heard of. Fucking baffling.

    Personally believe confidence, fitness and players in their correct positions we'd be alreyt.

  2. Doesn't seem to be anything about Rohl going to Bournemuff, hopefully it's just BS.

    We don't know what we'll get with Rohl but it does look an interesting one and one that I'm happy to go with. Getting merry go round managers hasn't worked for us and the dark cloud hovering mardy pig **** fills me with dread.

    I get local media are starved of stories, call me blinkered but they always seem to have negative sleights toward our club whenever they can. The incessant touting of Colin is pissing me off. They'd fucking love it for another split in our fanbase. Not one of em really gives 2 fucks whether he is actually the right fit (which he isn't) just want to boost the gimps calling into FH and click on pages/ twatter etc.

    Don't pay that much attention bur The Stir pig reporters are always licking arse yet we get the negative pricks.

    Even Staton (****) felt the need to be on commentqry v West Brom with another. (not seen that before) and it was all negative shit. Slating Vasquez when he'd made @4 excellent saves. Is he Dawsons mate/ access to stories to the club?

    The amount of airtime give to the tyre kicker was bizarre, it's also strange that since being called out by DC he has gone quiet...

     

    The hacks say if Rohl was appointed he'd need the Wednesday fans to give him time. I think 25 yrs of shite shows that we can do that. It's the local rag that waint! Is it because DC isn't from High Green? I think every press conference XM was asked about Marvin, then they slate him for not moving on.

    The sainthood of DM is mental, majority of the time it was eyebleed to watch and inevitable that we'd concede when we did. Fully back DC for not pandering to his pay rise as from looking at the last couple of years we'd have slumped and been in the same position now but with big payoffs to him and his staff

    Got them into the play offs as I recall, but not sure if that was his work or building on someone else's?! 

    His experience at Gillingham ticks a lot of boxes, he was able to work with Scally and saved them from almost certain relegation last season.

    Any chance we can get someone likeable?

    All the ***** seem to be lining up

  4. Somebody that will grasp it. No BS waffle in interviews, straight forward. 

    No Colin or that runty fucker that walked from pigs when it went sour either.

    I'd take Bruce back and Carlos S1. Time has probably made em think things through and better the 2nd time around.

     

    Dean Smith ticks the boxes but does he want it?

    I simply don’t understand why they haven’t tried to engage with him.

    We have a phrase at work for any global program that is going to cause disruption, we call it ‘winning hearts and minds.’

    So, you try and build a bit of rapport with the owner, he’s more likely to listen to suggestions, and then if he doesn’t want to play ball - you then kick up a bit of a fuss. They’ve skipped the engagement piece completely and moved straight to shock and awe.

    This is why the anonymity of em pisses me off. What DC has done/ threatened was inevitable. 

    Got to be a reason why they're keeping quiet, either yank wanting bargain price or just some ***** trying to rock the boat and destabilise us. 

     

     Just to add, a piggy mate of mine told me he's started following 1867...

    Is all this fuss cos we're not winning games anymore?

    I see that a big problem stated is ticket prices. Fair enough. Agree with that.

    But not sure what else is the problem. Fans were kissing his bum bum when he arrived and spent loads. It was fever pitch when we signed Rhodes for 10 million or whatever it was.

    But that didn't work so we got penalised.

    Then I see fans talk about needing to be being well run by not spaffing loads of cash and having a long term plan based on buying young / unproven diamonds in the rough and selling them a few seasons later for a significant profit like other clubs have.

    Chansiri starts this season by not spaffing loads of cash and seems to be buying young / unproven diamonds in the rough with the potential to sell them a few seasons later for a significant profit.

    Now fans want him to spend again. Da fuq?

    Bad call with the new manager. Not worthy of all this fuss though.

    None of this would be happening if we were winning.

    Which is why the anonymity of the cretins is an issue.

    Its either pigs = destabilise us

    or

    fake Yank = get us on the cheap

    Black balloons at night.

    These anonymous bitches need outing. Could be S2 lot stirring the shit, maybe Dingles/ Toytown The ideas they've had are tinpot just like them.

     

    Whatever you think about DC, backing a group you have no idea who is behind it and who's only intent is for DC to just up sticks and feck off. The gimps then think we'll be bought by someone who will steer us reyt. So where is this buyer now?

    My Spidey senses are tingling with this mob

    The sad reality is that there isn’t a plethora of great managers available who I think we’d get instant success with.

    There isn’t a prayer that we are taking a manager from another club.

    A fair few out of work managers would not touch us without certain guarantees over contracts and budgets, which means we’d be dipping into the out of work foreign manager market.

    There’s names like Warnock, Bruce, Wilder and Warburton being linked. I can’t see the first three taking it, and I’ve never been convinced by Warburton. There is an outside option if we can tempt him, and that would be Chris Hughton who is managing Ghana, but again, we are a short term team, and he’s a long term manager.

    Hughton didn't want to know few years back when we seemingly had money to chuck abart. Doubt he'd even pick up the phone now. 

    I may be fully blinkered but any manager that is the real deal and truly believes they can do it should be jumping to get the job. Yeah I get it's a bit of a madhouse but DC for all his faults does back his managers. 

    Get the right man in and this place would take off.

    Not tho is it.

    The blue kit is inclusive, it's for anyone and everyone who supports Everton.

    You start doing this shit and you're excluding part of the fan base.

     

    Inclusive?  They don't come across as very inclusive.

    Do as we want or we will ruin you is what I get from it.
