    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    I've not been following this too closely, but has anyone else reported this aside from Peter O'Rourke? A few of the other reports I've seen, such as WOL, all reference O'Rourke as the source. I'm not as down on POR as others as he clearly does have contacts even if he's pretty hit and miss. Be...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    If this is true, it's so odd that I'm not even sure what to say about it. We'd be hiring someone primarily on the basis that Jurgen Klopp used to park his car in the same car park. Makes Sheehan look like a 30 year managerial veteran. Still, it's true that managerial appointments are a complete...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Probably needs to get the grey streaks out of his hair/beard to really get the Martin kids on board, but decent first impression there on the main markers we're looking at.

    New Manager

    Scanning this thread for previous candidate suggestions, and there are some whoppers... Anyone think we could tempt Osian Roberts back into the dugout? Think he went back into a developmental role at Como after stepping in and getting them promoted.

    Kim Hellberg

    I'm struggling to think what this line of persuasion would be? Unfinished business, I assume? That would be a stretch... His record against Cardiff? Doesn't apply right now. He brings Premier League hair? Compare it to Hellberg's provincial short-back and sides and you'll see the step up in...

    NFL 2025

    I’m sure you remember the voodoo the Chiefs had on their side last year to be 12-0 in one score games. This year? 0-5 Dare we dream of a post-season without the Chiefs?

    Idah

    Scenes in Hungary as Ireland grab a play-off spot with a winner in the 6th minute of 5 added minutes.. Idah was a 2nd half sub in the game.

    Eubank, Benn 2

    Cracking end to the fight, but yeah, it wasn’t a great watch as only one of them turned up wanting to fight.

    Eubank, Benn 2

    Looks like he’d rather be anywhere but there right now.

    Fulton & Cullen

    If I recall, Cullen had 11 goals last season. Not amazing by any stretch, but a decent return at this level in a largely struggling team where he didn't start every game. I think he's fine as a 3rd option behind Vip and Idah. Scored more goals than anyone else last season (not saying much I...

    SHEEHAN SACKED

    It would be oytshtandin’ But I really can’t see it. I can’t see him wanting to come back to the championship at this stage in his career and I can’t see him wanting to risk coming back somewhere where he is universally loved and end up tarnishing that legacy by it not working out. We still have...

    SHEEHAN SACKED

    I’m no doubt reading too much into the brief statement put out by the club, but the language used in the line ‘The process to appoint a new head coach is already under way’ stood out to me. If you squint your eyes, that could be interpreted as they already have their guy and are in the process...

    SHEEHAN SACKED

    Oof. I thought they'd give him until xmas to try and turn it around, but the owners have certainly shown a ruthless streak here. Makes me think they might have someone lined up. I'm sick of this managerial merry-go-round by now. We used to have a great record with managerial appointments, but...

    The difference a manager can make.

    I’m so glad the Titans are on their bye week. After the misery of the Swans yesterday, I’m not sure if I could handle watching the Titans find new ways to lose today on top of that.

    The difference a manager can make.

    I'm itching to put some counter points to 1-3 (on the assumption they are aimed at bolstering a 'squad is really good' argument), but your summary underneath is well put and something with can all agree on, so I'm with you there. We have memory of teams being more than the sum of their parts, so...

    Burgess

    My takeaway from this is that he must have been the subject of some vile abuse from our own supporters to feel the need to post this. Should have just stuck a middle finger up at them, Cam.
