Is Tony Bloom our manager?

It makes perfect sense. This is why we've bought so many midgets for the team. It's to make sure Tony doesn't have to strain his neck giving the team talk in the dressing room.

Think about it.

He has spent £100 million on a stadium, and £15million on a training centre, most premiership clubs would be proud off.

Despite of what some on here think, he has hired some of the best business men for the off the field positions in the business.

So why does he continue to appoint untested foreign managers?

Poyet left under a cloud, which was as much to do with him walking out as it was with him being sacked. Clever business politics covered that up.

Oscar walked out with a year on his contract left.

We had quite a few managers with championship experience to pick from, yet we choose someone with no experience of managing in England

And when Sami should be fired (he according to Tony Bloom has a play off squad, yet we find ourselves in a relegation scrap) he is under no pressure.

So, could it be Sami is just a puppet and if he goes, the truth might come out.

Three different managers, all playing a similair way.

Coincidence? Or is someone else calling the shots?

Do we pick the best manager? Do do we pick a yes man who can be controlled?

What other reason could there be for picking Sami over the manager who where available?

Your argument was rendered null & void to me at the point I realised you were including Gus Poyet in the "yes man" category.

No. But he is our Chairman. Go and do a crash course on the difference in roles.

Gus is clearly not a yes man, but he had no experience as a manager when he came here, and look how that ended. Oscar also had limited experiences and walked out half way through his contract, when to the outside world he had one of the most sort after jobs outside the top flight. Both left us under a whirl of "spin" from the club, but do we know the true reasons why either went. Neither seem to talk about the reasons, and I wonder why that may be

Then along comes Sami, when vastly more experienced managers where either overlooked or not interested, with Sami having very limited experience. Three very different managers, all playing a very similair formation/style.

As I say, why hire a top class business team to run the club, but two inexperienced nobodies (no offense to them, but thats what Sami and Nathan are in managerial terms) to run the team?

Would Bloom sack Paul Barber and bring in a CEO straight from college, of course he wouldn't, so why has he done exactly this with the playing side of the club?

Sorry, should have read "back seat manager" but I expected people to work that out for themselves?

I'll ask you the same question as well then. Would Bloom sack Paul Barber and bring in a CEO straight from college, of course he wouldn't, so why has he done exactly this with the playing side of the club? Do the experienced managers want more control over managing the team than we are willing to allow them?
