blimey, I think that will be heard before Christmas |
Absolutely..by Friday afternoon at the latest.
On a serious note, I get the uneasy feeling that 'Our Tone' may have made another balls-up here (10 out of 10 for consistency, if nothing else). Would JFH be more suited to a well-run, 'up-and-coming', Championship club with fresh infrastructure and sensible, pragmatic plans in place (e.g Brighton, Rotherham, Brentford, Franchise (!)) rather than the "Billy Smart's Circus" model which he will be presented with here with us in W12?
Would an old-fashioned no-nonsense disciplinarian be more what we need (Nigel Pearson, Kenny Jackett, Neil Warnock) at the moment? I reckon so.
Would LOVE to be proved hopelessly wrong. |  | | |

Entirely irrelevant to the thread, but I saw Blob's posting of Tubular Bells (page 10) and hit it for some nice noise as I scrolled down, then saw it repeated for Jamois' reply. Just for the hell of it I hit it again. The two playings, superimposed about 20 seconds apart, sounded great!
Part melodic, part cacophony, it had an emphasised fugue quality that seemed to defy the passage of time. Have a go! |  |

If you watched the video posted a few pages back, JFH and his assistant don't remotely come across as soft touches.
Also Warnock the old-fashioned no-nonsense disciplinarian... sure about that? |  | | |

The anti-chelsea stuff is sad to hear, it's not like he was a one-club man - he played a lot of games for Leeds and Boro as well. Hopefully he will come and do what Paul Furlong did, as a player. |  | | |

Maybe , even Olly and NW got abuse , it's part of the job unfortunately
I couldn't give a rats if he played for Chelsea , I think 95% of the fanbase will get behind him,
We have one of the best young managers who wants to be here , exciting times a head |
Holloway used to get plenty of stick, was very split, some of the fans adored the man and followed him to the end almost cult like others thought he rhymed with cult. |  | | |

First "fcking Chelsea cnt" heard somewhere around the back to back away games at Cardiff and Brighton in April with the team about 12th. |
If we as a fan base can't give a decent young manager a chance cos he used to play for Chelsea, we probably deserve everything we get . I've got a feeling this is going to be a great appointment. Jimmy is the one. | |

Ok, so dopey question of the day coming up, sorry about that.
If the Beeb announced that Burton have just given us permission to "talk" to JFH yesterday, does that mean that he will have already been included as part of the short list and interviewed by the club under the radar from Burton, and that the "talk" is to now actually talk turkey about taking on the job, the next steps, contract negotiations etc?
If so is it a different rule for managers when being poached by clubs than it is for players and it is not viewed as "tapping up" and not illegal? |  |

Well we signed a promising young centre back in the summer who's turned out to be one of our best players this season and that was met with "not another Tottenham player" so I wouldn't put it past us. |  | | |

We'd signed a fair few duds from Tottenham in recent years. | |

I have to say I was asking myself the same question.
No-one is complaining about anything we've done so I presume it's all been above board (as we are the anti-christs of football I'm sure if QPR had been naughty we'd have heard about it.) Yet the impression given is that all the work on this has been done before we got permission from Burton.
Anyone know how this works? | | | |

Maybe it's senility on my part, but I've always had him in my head as a Leeds player. I never saw him as an iconic Chelsea player. Not that that should make much of a difference, Wilkins was a Cheese icon and was still a bloody good player for us.
P.S. "Cheese" is due to spell checker but I'm going to leave it in, as it makes me feel better about typing that name. | | | |

I've never quite got this fixation with antecedents,like someone can't do a decent job at Morrisons and the customers will boycott the store because the new kunt came from Lidl.
I'm feeling more positive than when Ramsey got appointed.It's strange that some people are now applauding changing horses in the middle of the stream whereas the mantra was always give him to the end of the season.We live in confused times.
I'll wait and see how the new guy deals with the transfer budget(if applicable)and see what kind of players he brings in before making a judgement - helluva lot of pressure not least because of the vital Christmas schedule.
It'll be interesting to see the reaction on here to the first defeat.
It'll be interesting also* to see if he can keep out of Crockfords.

So what?
We've signed a fair few duds who are over 6ft tall, shall we only sign short people? | | | |

Not to mention the countless terrible white players we've signed down the years. |  | | |

Wouldn't personally have given Ramsey a whole season, just didn't decide he should be sacked after the first game of the season. Then again, like taking an instant dislike to John Terry, maybe that would have just saved time.
And once you've been tipped off one horse in the middle of the river, there's nothing inconsistent about thinking it a good idea to get on another one. | | | |

Just googled Crockfords.

I don't think there's any risk of him being poached by the Church of England, but what the hell, if he does a good job here then let him have a crack at the big Canterbury job and good luck to him. If he gets us the FA cup I'll be calling for canonisation. | | | |

It was indicative of a lazy approach to scouting.
Did we sign our last two managers, our director of football, our academy director, most of our coaches and 8 players from the over 6ft tall academy? Because if most of them had been duds then I'd imagine that people might have something to say about continuing to do that.
You're comparing membership to an organisation with a physical trait. Nobody thought being from tottenham made them poor players. | |
