I'd rather be bottom with this management team, than 18th with Moore in charge

Its his first managerial role so we have no clues to his choices.   I do like that he's kept Neil Thompson involved with the first team, an addition to the club under Megson and stepped up a

What @Reesh has said in the above post absolutely nails it. It shows how far the 18s and 21s set up has come when Cadamarteri and Phuthi turn down opportunities to go to Premier League set ups and bel

Powell has been back part of Southgate's staff since he got binned by Spurs. 

In the Italy game every time the camera panned to Southgate you could see him sitting on the bench directly behind. 

So if it is him then he must be looking to dual role and that might be why there's been a delay.

Sounds like it’s done. Seems like there is quite a bit of investment all of a sudden 

Where's that from?

 

And Chansiri realises he loses more if we go down than if he ponies up now.

Wasn't that when the game was put back to a Monday night and the end of a run of 3 midweek games or summat daft

 

I remember it being on an inconvenient day because an FA cup match couldn’t be on the same day as a Champions League match.

Christ did that p*** me off that night.

Call me small minded, don't care, but not forgiving him ever 4 that regardless if he is on our coaching staff or not.

Bet he couldn't do it now....

You'll feel different  when we've  won Champions League, believe me.

What about if him and Gregory do it at the Bramall Lane end after we've knocked them out of the FA Cup?

Powell seems another solid appointment if it comes off. If Chansiri has made this decision and he sits back from the footballing outbursts and concentrates on running the business side of things then he may just turn things around.

I just hope this doesn’t turn out to be a stepping stone for DR and he sees us as a long term project and gets it right.

But if he is a great success and bigger clubs come in for him then at least we will have turned a corner hopefully by then.

If a EPL side notices him then he will have been doing a good job. Sadly there is zero you can do in that scenario, exactly if you have a decent youngster. 

In Rohl's case it would be the Bundesliga calling as well

At this stage of the season maybe, but next May I’d rather be 21st with Moore than bottom with the new lot, or with Colin, or with Pep or anyone you care to mention.

He left England in March after the World Cup and was replaced by Jimmy Floyd him and Nevin were behind Southgate, his main reason was to focus on his role at Spurs which he ended up leaving in August so is currently not with a club.

I wouldn’t. I’d rather have the team we are putting together and if that means a season back in the third tier, so be it.

What makes you think we'll be bottom ? 

IMO Moore would've been on the verge of the sack now if he'd stayed, multiple times last season he could've easily gone. We were overturned by Ipsnitch and Argyle then we scraped into playoffs. 2 games has turned Moore into some God like manager. He was God awful most of the time. Ok we went on an unbeaten run, but fuckinghell some of the games were horrific to watch.

Just something I’d heard which was suggesting it was sorted but press more cautious. I didn’t think much of it at first but I didn’t realise how good his recent cv was and he could be a real help and a good personality amongst all the analysis

I like the fact that DR has been able to speak about all the new coaches, and outline what they’ll add to the team. 

You’ should expect that, but not always the case with the managers on the carousel dragging along their bunch of mates and hangers-on.

XM brought his brother.
