Ismael remains, and always has been, my first choice for the role. I think what he did last season with Barnsley was sensational and is exactly what we need in the next campaign. Sounds like he had them battling, which we lacked at times last year, and made them a nightmare to play against with a really high press. I read one article that said they won the ball back in the opposition half 5% more than the league average. Would make a nice change from just sitting back on the edge of our box anyway. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Originally posted by Jefroc Wolves has (albeit not publicly announced) but your point is sound. A delay is understandable to an extent but the world and his dog knew months ago Roy would not be with us come August. Mind you if an appointment was made on day one then we would have not had a chance for NES. Ancelotti has really thrown a spanner in the works! Mind you if it goes another week without news I will begin to feel anxious. Celtic and Spurs have been looking for a manager for months and still not found the right person, so why should we appoint the first person to come along.

Edited by Willo (06 Jun 2021 6.15pm) Yes but this is why we should get him in. The way he played suits younger players down to the ground, it will suit our academy down to the ground. He will require reinforcements for sure, but it won't cost a king's ransom. We're the Arthur over ere!

I will reiterate though, the vitriol thrown at Steve Cooper is ridiculous. You can have reservations over his time in management & it's certainly a concern but he has done very well at Swansea on a budget of -£48m, losing their best players & getting play-offs two years in a row. His record is better than Graham Potters in almost every regard & he also conceded far less goals than Potter. We're the Arthur over ere!

Edited by Willo (06 Jun 2021 6.15pm) Sure, I'm touting him as a manager for next season though, not last season. As you know a squad rebuild is mandatory, not optional, this season and that must include a couple of new centre-backs. If we end up with Dann and Cahill at the back again we're screwed whoever is in charge. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...
