1/ I hope the American owners now realise that there is far more to running a premier league club than they are aware of and that they can't just make assumptions about what sort of manager is appropriate. A manager has to be appointed for football reasons only and there are certain criteria that must be met if another disaster is to be avoided.
2/ I hope the club learned a lesson when they sacked Monk and we don't end up in a similar fiasco during the coming weeks. If they did learn a lesson from that fiasco, they will have already talked to prospective managers behind the scenes before giving BB the bullet and a new appointment should happen quickly so that the changeover comes with minimum fuss. |  | | |  |

1/ I've got a nasty feeling they genuinely thought Bob had what it takes, possibly because their football knowledge is so narrow. I've little confidence of them striking lucky second time, but we'll see.
2/ I wouldn't be surprised if they've been caught with their pants down and we'll have a gap. I hope not, but wouldn't at all be surprised to see Curt manning the ship on Saturday. |  | | |

Oh, I'm absolutely sure they though Bob had what it takes because he had been manager of an International side which they probably considered was more difficult than managing a club side 'because an national side is a much bigger and more prestigious entity than a mere small town club side' but I hope they have now learned that having been a national manager is not even one of the tick boxes for being a premier club manager. They've taken a bloody nose over this and no mistake so I hope they will now listen to advice and find out what is actually needed. | | | |

I bet Huw is as smug as hell over this after he openly preferred Giggs. It could well strengthen his own position here and lead to him having more of a say. Not sure how it all works there now, but as you say the Americans will have a bloody nose (unless they're as self confident as Bob was). | | | |

They thought he had what it takes because the yanks 'as a rule' are an arrogant race of people who think they know better than anyone else
Now I hope they realise what it takes but the trouble is they will look to big nose,which ales me shudder |  | | |

Just means they'll be more dependent on Huw.
Whoopee. |  |
