That Sky Sports interview is obviously a bit of a puff piece, but it sells him very well. Makes him sound like just the guy to build on RDZ's work and turn it into something trickier to play against... just like RDZ was the right guy to build on Potter's work, who was the right guy to build on...

So which golden oldie are we taking from Liverpool to replace him then? I reckon that Mo Salah fella could do a job.

RDZ for me. But if I'd known when I voted that Oscar was sitting on 0 votes, I'd have voted for him. He doesn't deserve to be on zero, top guy and good coach. Someone chuck him a vote, please! Edit: Thanks, mystery hero.

Now I've watched that Four Four Two video, I'd like to revise this opinion. McKenna in! In all seriousness though, the last few days have been a bit of a rollercoaster and I'm still really sad that RDZ has gone. It'd take a real "wow!" appointment to pull me out of my funk and McKenna isn't...

Historically, managerial stability has been a pretty accurate predictor of success. But that's because a new manager would usually mean a whole new style of play, with all the ramifications that has on existing team members and on transfer policies. However, clubs increasingly have a distinct...

I'm kinda hoping it's someone else just because Jacob Steinberg is pushing this so hard in the Guardian, and I don't like him (I find there's always a snide undertone to his articles about us, more so than from the Guardian's resident Palace fan Ed Aarons).

The thing is, Gross isn't going to attract a big fee at his age. If there's one player who has earnt the right to see out his contract and leave on a free at the end of it, it's Pascal. I don't think there's the imperative for the club to "cash in" like there would be if he was 5-10 years...

Well, that's great news for the collective

The fact I can't even remember the guy's name tells you this is a non-starter, but I'll say it anyway: I was really impressed with how AEK were set up against us in both games and thought afterwards "that manager has tactical nous". No idea how the rest of their season went, but I was impressed...

That's interesting but it's not the smoking gun it looks like at first. He's reportedly a big RDZ fan, so it kinda makes sense that he'd be following accounts relating to us. Got all excited before I had that thought.

Bloom and Barber have enough credit in the bank when it comes to big calls like this for me to give them the benefit of the doubt. But I am having to give them the benefit of the doubt here. I really thought that we could have a good summer transfer window and push on next season with RDZ in...

That group stage was like a fairytale, proper Roy of the Rovers stuff. After a pretty terrible start, we topped a group containing two European champions. The end of last season was great fun, but it did feel like the team were hauling themselves over the line by their fingertips (e.g., I still...

I've always noticed players who are too good for the second tier, but not quite good enough for the Premier League. Mitrovic looked like he was going to be one of those players for a while, until he eventually started scoring in the Prem. I'd put our own Knocky in that category too. It's a weird...

There was a time towards the end of Chris Hughton's period in charge when I genuinely started to miss the Championship. The thought of spending season after season nervously grinding out just enough points to stay up by the skin of our teeth was starting to lose its appeal. But under GP and RDZ...

Let's be realistic about O'Mahoney and Offiah today please. They're in the team precisely because there isn't much to play for this season. In other words, they're playing because we have the metaphorical space to allow developing players to make mistakes and learn from them. RDZ and the...

When I look at the team sheet that started last night, I feel like that's a team that would be lucky to finish mid-table. But if I put Mitoma, March, Caicedo, and Mac Allister in there, it becomes a side with top-6 potential. That's why I don't see any reason to snipe at De Zerbi. With the...

Hate to say it but I think this is to protect Bart. His development won't be helped by picking the ball out of his net 5 or 6 times tonight. But football has a tendency to produce surprises and Barco's presence is a wild card. Could be fun.

Yep, it's changed when I load the page now. It was a blurred photo of a Brighton game against a team in red that I think were Liverpool. Really bad choice by Sky. And I probably shouldn't have posted here, with hindsight, but I feared they were our players when I saw that photo.

No idea who this is about, but their ages and Sky's choice of photo have got me worried. https://news.sky.com/story/two-premier-league-players-both-aged-19-arrested-over-alleged-rape-13121988

It's not a good look for Forest, this. But anecdotally, I feel like Attwell is involved in a really disproportionate number of super-controversial decisions that almost everyone agrees make no sense.
