    It's an improvement in my book. Idah had his chance and proved to not be good/consistent enough and as having poor decision making and football intellect. Van Hooijdonk comes from good footballing stock and is proven to score goals in the Netherlands. That is absolutely no guarantee of a return, of course, but I just feel that because Idah failed to impress so many times, a punt on someone else is something that I am prepared to give a chance and get behind. He can score and he will now have played in 3 countries and for me, that is an element of experience I can see working in his favour, and subsequently ours.

    As i've stated before,nothing stopping Webber asking Knapper who's his choice and begin talks with him now. Get him in ready. Two more possible defeats and we're in with the dead men at the bottom with confidence of a squad at the lowest.

    I'll politely disagree with that one. Although you're right in that he could ask his opinion, that's all it'll be, an opinion. Webber has no reason to do anything based on someone's opinion as it stands. He's nothing to gain or lose in doing so, so won't do anything. I could well be proved wrong of course, so I suppose we'll watching this space.

    For me, the game was the final straw in terms of my faith in Wagner at the helm. Other threads have handled, and are handling what he is doing wrong, so I won't go into those aspects again, but I believe he won't go regardless of how bad he is, or how much he's lost the dressing room etc. This is because of Knapper coming in soon and he will ultimately determine his fate. Knapper will be seeing all of this now and I suspect he will move Wagner on once his reign starts, but before then, there is no logic for Webber to get rid. He is leaving so likely doesn't care too much any more, but if he was to remove Wagner, who's he bringing in for what could well be extremely short-term until Knapper comes in and wants his own man in the job? To me, it just wouldn't make any sense for a Sporting Director who is about to leave, to sack a manager and source a replacement he'll have nothing to do with in a few months. 

    Unfortunately, we'll be waiting a lot longer than we'd like for managerial/coaching changes, is how I'm seeing things.

    Given the size of Nike, if it was ever a viable business decision to make the shirt for sale in the first place, they'd absolutely have done it. They're a business after all, and very good at it - it's their choice not to have done it. However, the attention it has now gained will make it a decent seller for them. It almost feels like it could have been a publicity stunt to garner interest and attention over it to boost sales on what may have always been a planned "limited" production.

    I don’t see the love for RM as a manager.

    to me he hasn’t actually achieved anything yet. Sure you can argue he has improved teams but he hasn’t hung around in any team long enough and won anything has he ?

    And I still can’t get over DF being at Leeds.

    😫

    Absolutely. He's achieved nothing whatsoever but people are suggesting he's the best thing since sliced spam. If he ends up as such, fair play, but he's achieved nothing to date. He's cheated a living so far as a manager and Southampton have taken a punt. If it works, again, fair play, but should he fail, he's not likely to work at a decent level again, as his next job.
