Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

I must admit I'm somewhat surprised/concerned. I had thought that Parish had known for some time that Roy was going and would have already sorted out his replacement and if so would be announcing the new manager today. As that hasn't happened I can only assume one of two things.
1. Parish wants someone who is still with another Club and the terms are currently being discussed/negotiated, with an announcement to come in due course.
2. Parish thought he had a deal with Lampard or Howe but they have either pulled out, or suddenly demanded a bigger transfer budget due to the Eze injury and Parish is trying to persuade the Americans to support this request.

Whatever the case, things are clearly unresolved and this is most worrying, as there is much to do and we need a new manager in place asap to start tackling the rebuilding process.

Let's hope for some positive news in the next few days.

if you had to have Pardew, Pullis or Freedman who would you pick

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

If i had to pick it would be Pulis . He made us very hard to beat . Pardews tactick were just try to score more than they do and Freedman.. il just stop there .

Why would the Chairman be concerned with goodwill?

Not one of his KPI's I suspect

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Agree with this. There are huge question marks over almost every area of the playing squad except, perhaps, goalkeeper and left back. We look in a proper mess.
