You know we can all judge Roy on England debacle but shall we just ignore what he did at Fulham, taking them to a European final? Shall we ignore how he saved WBA? Shall we ignore his heroics with Switzerland? Shall we ignore his record in Sweden? Shall we ignore how highly thought of he is at one of the biggest club sides in the world? My only reservation is age. But sorry, his overall record stands up against anyone else we've been linked with. A terrible euros and World Cup definitely stains his reputation. But the way some people are behaving you'd think we're getting Mullary. I agree , he's got a solid record. Just hope he's stil got the enthusiasm and energy.

Whilst, at 70, I don't see Roy as a long term solution I think he will just fine for a season or two. No one can legislate for players missing sitters but I have confidence in him to get the players playing to their strengths (which, arguably, they did on Sunday). I just hope that if he does keep us up, he doesn't decide to retire at the end of the season.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Well I think Roy is just the man we need. He is honourable and a gentleman. Worked wonders all over the world

The big question is why didn't we get him in the first place until now when we are in a panic situation ?

Roy wasn't first choice this time either.. Big Sam was asked first but he said it's too early for him he's enjoying watching everyone else having the stress..

Perhaps it would make sense for Roy to have a medical .... just saying ....
We move in the direction of our thoughts. |

Silva it sounds like may have been beyond our reach although I'm not convinced of that. Pellegrino was taken by Southampton and we ignored Dyche cos he's northern.

i guess at the least there wont be no ridiculous back three's, and he'll play to our strengths (hopefully). although we could see benteke taking corners
a rich man is only a poor man with an obscene amount of money |

Got a feeling we are still in for convincing Big Sam to come back. Was Sakho a bargaining chip in a play for Big Sam? Come on Big Sam you know it makes sense - if the package is right surely he cant turn it down.
First match 5th October 1974 - not a good day! |
