Be shocked if it's McKenna, I just can't remember the last time we did business that was so quickly known about and reported on. I really do think it'll be a left field appointment again. Besides, if McKenna has been talking to us etc, would we really want to continue with him if he is just waiting for the best offer, it's either up the offer and be done with it, or just f*** him off and let him make his own mistakes. I'd like to think he would look at the bigger picture, but we'll see.
I'd rather we get a decent manager who is in it for the long run. RDZ would have been, he just obviously disagreed with TB after realising we weren't changing our structure, after maybe thinking it could be changed.
As for Chelsea, hmmm did they plan all of this? Or do you think they got rid of Poch coincidently, and are now being lazy and trying to jump on our deal? Either way, they are a f***ing bunch of filth. I can see them being shite again next year, what with Europa League etc, it's going to be AMAZING.

No, it goes to show that underperforming managers without fans on their backs get away with it sometimes. Let’s not forget we had a similar dire run a year later just before our April to September purple patch, and there was more than a little angst then. Had that carried on for a full year then who knows?
The one that sticks in my mind is Watford - who seemed to spend the whole of lockdown moaning that they were all going to die and there was no point in anything anymore, and then (to the surprise of literally nobody) dropped into the relegation places after games resumed.

Roberto's dream job is United(isn't everyone's), he'd be good for them as its a rebuild job and he'd have more say in transfers.

Didn't we also come back from 0-2 down to beat Man City 3-2 at Home during that period? I managed to get tickets for that game and was one of my favourite Albion games, even if there was only 6/7k fans in the stadium!

I was there as well with my brother and one of my sons. There were 8000 fans spread around but we made a heck of a noise! One of my best ever games also.

It's a caveated conversation though.What a time to be an Albion fan, in for the same manager as possibly Chelsea and United. We are unlikely to be the winner if they are serious but how mad that we are even in the same conversation!
Dare I say that we have a better stadium too?

We're in it because we're seen as the motorway service station stop on the way to his ultimate destination.
Bang on about the stadium though

It's crazy that either Chelsea or United would consider a novice coach whose never managed a PL game.
Remember the days when even a decent PL manager was considered not experienced enough for Chelsea or United as they'd never managed in European competition.
It's nuts that Maresca and McKenna are so lauded for a good championship season as Iraola has been exceptional in PL and previously in Spain.
