Top post - yes - none us are remotely qualified to comment beyond gut feeling territory, especially, in my case, based on the fact I hadn’t heard of De Zebri until last week :/
The Poyet is strong in this one.
Maybe Tony wishes to see a bit more, I dunno, emotion in our football club a bit...
And your feelings around this one ? a good fit for the club tactically - perhaps, it would appear ... as an individual? That’s where I’m a little uneasy ... a stark contrast to the safe hands of Potter, Hughton and Garcia - far more Poyet ... can that work with TB ?
The more I read the more this SCREAMS Watford, with a dash of Poyet ... surely this ‘noise’ is agent generated - unless Pep has out a good word in... ?
It’d be a strange appointment for me... hey ho, time will deliver the answers... maybe we’ll turn out to be a good fit for him :/
Greg, that’s a reasonable response - thanks - which, as you intended, reads dispassionately... we clearly differ on several points, but there’s little point back and forthing the hours away.
I’ll leave it there.
It’s a shame this had to happen though, as it has wrought a level of disruption...
Exactly... very logical.
Although, a lack of emotion suggests a lack of passion, which hints at a lack of giving much of a shit: win, lose or draw. All of which suggests a level of support that isn’t written in the heart, and for those poor sods, well, I seriously don’t no why they bother...
Emotional entanglement, passion, blind faith - they are by definition irrational not naive ... as Justice has said if you aren’t up and down and sometimes irrational as a supporter - then you might as well be a laptop watching the game... analytical, cynical, logical...
This ‘meh’ reaction to...
I think it's patronising in the extreme to view good faith as naivety and/or just being a bit 'thick' ... this idea that 99% of people can't see why someone might leap at a 300% pay rise, is again, insulting... However, it doesn't mean we have to like it and/or shrug our shoulders and be all -...
My money (which is bollocks actually, as I never gamble) is on someone who isn't even on the betting radar - a random appointment out of nowhere just seems more likely than all of us all knowing loads about the next manager by the time the photoshoot is commissioned.
I'm ruling out De Zebri, as...
I'd fully support a woman in the role - tbh... why someone like Hayes would represent more of a risk than De Zebri or similar is lost on me ...?
I'd hope we'd be the first club to do something truly seismic - I'd like that a great deal.
That said, it's sadly more likely someone like Hayes...
I say we bring back Gus, surely we've gone right through his ceiling, the bedroom above, the loft, up the chimney stack and are now in orbit around the moon... ? he'd be delighted.
