I want a manager who isn't foreign - done. I want a manager in place immediately so we aren't scratching around for weeks interviewing unheard of foreigners recommended by Oxo - done. DC needs to show us he still means business and get the right manager and work out a way to give him funds to work with - done. I want him right now and won't wait a week longer even though if true it shows that DC and co have learned from before and are working hard to not let the same mistakes happen again - oh fuckoff now! What’s wrong with wanting Jos out now? Give a caretaker manger the game at Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I can remember a manager being in charge when he knew he was getting the bullet was and it worked out to be a masterstroke from MM. Don't see the point of a caretaker for one game and added to this is that if Bruce comes in then he'll bring with him a whole new backroom team so Saturday may well be farewell for more than Jos. Just try to be happy - it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the old "sleeping giant" thing still entices managers. They must have faith in their own abilities and believe they can be the one that bring the good times back. Legend status if they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I don’t doubt the OP seen his posts before and have been usually spot on. What I’m struggling to get my head round is why Jos is still here if this is a done deal. A guy who walked out of Stuttgart after only a few weeks because of differences of opinion with board members doesn’t strike me as a guy just to sit and wait for the next manager to finish measuring up the curtains in his office? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. If its a done deal then zero point in jos being here today. Zero motivation for everyone. Bruce though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concrete Owl Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Don’t think Bruce is the answer to be honest. Would rather have Jokanavic or even Hurst. Still better than Jos I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Monkey Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 To be fair to the OP, i heard something similar on Monday evening but was unsure (still am), I was told it would all be sorted when DC was back in the country although I am unsure when that is/was.
