I’m not sure we need to be all anti Roberto… he had his faults, like we all do and he made some misjudgments, but I genuinely think he had what he felt was a shared rapport with the fans… I don’t believe this to have been disingenuous…
I wish him well, I do believe he’ll be remembered as one of...
Indeed… bizarre decision if he opts for a newly promoted team with certain ‘issues’ … especially when we were led to believe he considered us a backwards step!
But if he believes the club hype as much as his own hype - he might take the risk…
As you say, it could be a real struggle for...
I can’t see this as a goer… points deduction likely, asset stripping likely… doesn’t scream ‘favoured option’ for GP…
I’d be surprised if he opts for this job, very surprised.
Yep… Fenelon ☹️ … sigh, the dice were loaded… however, tactically he should have been a smidgen more pragmatic, alas he was way too adventurous given what he must have witnessed in training ? Funnily enough, perhaps he was ahead of the curve, in terms of shape etc. perhaps without the training...
I remember that match… grim, but I tend to agree… the recruitment/squad was absolutely wretched… so much so that it took a while for (a then) at the top of his game CH to turn things round.
He’d be better off just shutting his eyes and absolutely smashing it in the rough direction of the goal… actually, that’s probably what he does already tbf.
Yep, a column in in the match day programme… “captains corner*…” … apologies, ahead of the game, to all today for the standard of my free...
Yeah, I’m not convinced he’ll ever manage a club considered to be genuinely big on the world stage… I see him as a coach more likely to manage big clubs in b list countries (see Ukraine) such as Greece, Belgium… Turkey… he might return to Italy but not to one of the huge traditional clubs…...
Ringing endorsement’s all round 😂 at least good old Simon Jordan continues to back our judgement… !
Danny Murphy, difficult to know whether he was for or against … 😂🤨
Now come on, he’ll have been on a very, very decent salary here - I suspect not far off his final salary as a player… I’m sure he could support and feed his family well enough… and if he’d been ‘sacked’ he’d have been on a very decent severance package accordingly… I say again, I strongly...
lol - I don’t disagree with the logic… however, if he meant it when he said “once and always…” 🤢 then he should’ve stayed… I’m willing to bet he wishes he’d stayed… just a little bit… especially now he’s living in Potters shed, cleaning the pool with wee Bjorn and big Billy.
Once a mercenary...
I agree, had he stayed and done the caretaker thing I’m pretty sure Roberto would have respected that and retained him on his coaching team… you know, a former Valencia FB, fan and player favourite… there’s no way he was getting the boot. Not a chance…
So, I surmise he took the mercenary money...
