As long as he new man isn't a Hyypia disaster then I'll be happy.

I think that him not leaving Ukraine until his players were safe and supposedly turning down Bournemouth because of the Russian ownership count as massive positives when assessing him as an individual.

There may well be a need for the club to put out tactical and obfuscating information, and Naylor is a good channel to use. I don't particularly care about them doing that when a cloak and dagger situation is in play. Whoever gets the job gets the job, and we'll know very soon.

Well considering their number 1 target Potter is now impossible for them I suspect they'll start tap tapping away somewhere sooner rather than later.

I didn't say that we should be sexist. I said we should expect a world of pain if and when we had to sack a female manager. Maybe we'd just pay her to resign to avoid the backlash. Maybe we would just let all the insults and accusations under the sun bounce off us. The accusations of racism...

No idea to either question :shrug: I am merely pointing out the world of pain we'd get. Forewarned is forearmed - maybe bhafc would be happy to ride out the backlash, which would make the Hughton "racism" accusations seem like nothing. Sorry, I'll de-rail this no more. I can't make the...

Society isn't ready for a woman yet - I say society deliberately to mean not specifically football. If the albion appointed a woman and then had to sack her how would wider society react ? Sexist ! Chauvinistic ! Bhafc scum ! Barber's head is needed on a plate ! Bloom must go ! Basically a...

I can't read the telegraph through the wall but Naylor referred to "direct" talks. I'm sure "indirect" agent talks have already happened.

Sami Hyypia is the reason I still have a little bit of apprehension over this appointment. That was a colossal mistake - I hope all the right lessons have been learned ( or fed into the algorithm ).

I've finally made MY choice. Get Bo in.

You're right about it being cheap.

I look forward to many future bidding wars between Ashworth's Newcastlle and Potter's Chelsea.

Roberts maybe. Bruno very doubtful.

Cor blimey guv, strike a light, knock it on the head John. I don't think I could bear to listen to her accent and would have to swerve any interviews. Lol.

Bruno temporarily until Martinez after the World Cup.

Yes but the theory is he's been learning how to do the job from Potter.

You remember how "racist" little old Brighton were when we sacked Hughton ? I'd hope we would never have to dare to sack her. :shrug:

We'd have to wait until after the World Cup for Martinez.

I really wouldn't want a new manager to rip up all Potter's progress and start again. So the only candidate for me is Bruno, with Lallana or Calde as his assistant. We'd need someone to duplicate Bjorn's work as well though.

There is that. If Poyet had gone to Wolves there wouldn't have been all the will-he-won't-he about the Reading job a few weeks later and the rapid downfall of Gus soon after. On the other hand, any honest commitment from Potter to see out the next 1-3 years with us renders all speculation a...
