    Hopefully Matos commits to playing Inoussa and trying his best to make it work. It seems like the departing coaching staff began to lose faith in him a little. Us improving this season feels like it relies on him becoming a good Championship wide player fairly quickly and the only way that...

    Darren O'Dea on Bristol City | Press Conference

    That was quite a tough watch, he is in an impossible position knowing he may be unemployed any hour now.

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    This channel seems to have most of the highlights from this season. Nice counterattacking goal for the second but points deducted for the striker wearing the number 3!

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Which bit of my post is the question aimed at? Middlesborough did not sack their manager and choose to have to appoint a new one and Norwich are not a very well run club. Notts County did not sack their manager and it looks like they messed up that appointment massively. I refer to my earlier...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    This is how I see it. The fee is secondary to his ability to do the job and we will be more bothered by results if he is bad and will forget about it if he is good. I can not see it as anything but a giant leap of faith, not just for the fans, but from the decision makers. Twelve games is a tiny...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Do not get me wrong we should have sorted it by now. A delay at a different time of the season could have been catastrophic and season defining whereas this delay just looks a little incompetent.

    Vigouroux Tymon Casey Burgess Samuel Smith Galbraith Widdell Franco Ronald Idah Inoussa Stamenic missing because of his travels and I expect he will put a lot of faith in those who have been at the training ground for the last week or so. Yalcouye has barely played since September so if he...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Eleven days in an International break is probably the equivalent to four days during the season, it is not like we have been without a coach for four games. An underwhelming few weeks but there is no crisis or fire to extinguish.

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Agreed on this. I am slightly sick of the best summer ever narrative that people seem inclined to continue to push. We have sacked the manager we hired in the summer and the transfers may turn out successful but we have yet to see that on the pitch yet. There are a few suspicious accounts...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    There was chatter on here or on X that Sheehan and Montague not seeing eye to eye and there being tension was partly to do with his departure. Whether that came from Sheehan knowing he was not the first choice is a possibility. Or it could just be people adding 1+1 = 11 online.

    World Cup playoff draw

    We can do this especially if it is just over one leg. Really need Kieffer back as an option, even if it is off the bench when defending a lead or needing a goal.

    Would Gorringe or Worth, or whichever one is behind the wheel right now, want to give up the power? They made a big deal about changing the structure to get rid of the position only a couple of months ago.

    We do not even know if Modric has a big enough stake to have a vote on key decisions. He was playing for Croatia the other night and people on here and twitter were speculating that he was working on the new hire. I would not want him to even if he was, until he could retire and make it his sole...

    I suspect their source in the club told them it would not cost 1m because they did not like that news story being out there and they were probably telling the truth.

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    The Agent of Matos has clearly been busy as his name was everywhere when we thought Hellberg was still ours. We defaulted to him after that broke down and presumably had been told by said agent that it would be very cheap compared to other options, that we rated on a similar level. I do not know...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    We can not be a serious outfit if we let the manager lead on recruitment or pick his own players. There is no reason to think he will know who to sign or have enough knowledge to benefit us. Unless we sell somebody and it may have to be Ronald getting getting an inflated fee from the middle east...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Lots of managers fail with the biggest resources and best players. It is still an achievement to take a side just relegated and turn them instantly into a juggernaut. That does not guarantee that he is a perfect coach who deserves years of grace based on that achievement, but it is not nothing...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    He has managed 77 games and 60 of them were last season so disregarding them entirely makes it hard to assess any manager by that logic. If he had taken us over when he was linked, the squad was in a worse place. I will wait to see if we have improved as much as you suggest. Off field we have...

    If this is true it defies belief. The cheap option quickly becoming the expensive option.
