He’s effectively finished. Terrible for us but time has caught up with Joey and his body can’t cope any longer. His fragility was probably key to his decision to retire from International football. If we wrap him in cotton wool and he breaks down in September what are we going to see of him in December and January? |  |

Sorry, said at the time. Should never have signed him. Costing a shelfful of money now. People need to take their rose tinted glasses off. Football is a business. And please...... save the "Hindsight" comments. |  | | |

Signed him 6 years too late. |  | | |

Any news on Liam Walsh? he has been on the grass for quite a while according to the Duff manager but absolutely no sign of him.
Hopefully Joe will be in the dugout on the weekend assisting O'Leary who will be caretaker manager for the Sheff Wed game. |  |

Consider Joe as manager and appoint someone of experience as his No 2 - Osian Roberts?
We need to appoint from within. Someone who has the DNA of the club. | |

I think Cameron Toshack has to be involved somehow, not necessarily as manager but in the coaching/backroom group. | |

Why this obsession with Tosh Jr? He seems to pop up everytime the managers role is mentioned. |  | | |

That would be a sound group of management.
I would be happy with just maintaining our league status as long as we return to our footballing philosophies. [Post edited 20 Sep 2023 13:09]

The footballing philosophies was resting on the shoulders on one man Huw Jenkins. He was actually the real man that would need to be carried out in a box. (not Martinez). He was forced out by the people who claim to love the club the most and resented the fact that he actually made a few highly deserved millions for himself.
Birch tried to recrate this by appointing Leon Britton but he was far too well healed to plough through scouting reports and spreadsheets.
HJ obviously made some horrible mistakes in the last season in the Premier league with Clemen not strong enough character to block Bony and Clucas.
Joe Allen was like John Harston and only offered himself to his hometown club when he was washed up. Martinez was offered Hartson but said no thank and went for a much better Jason Scotland if my memory serves me right. HJ was great when pair with a strong manager Martinez Brendan Laudrup and Guidolin and Calvalhal.
Now the US people call the shots and Watson is chief advisor not the "old School". |  |

Yep, good ol' benevolent Huw that would never do anything bad for the club...
He was brilliant, he wanted to cash in, that was fine. He chose not to roll straight dice. That's on him |  |

Just thinking the same.
I would much prefer Joey, Ash, Rangel, or somebody similar. | |

You a relative of HJ?
“ HJ obviously made some horrible mistakes in the last season in the Premier league with Clemen not strong enough character to block Bony and Clucas.”
Since when is a manager in a position to block the Chairman/Chief Executive who also happens to be a part owner in the club? Maybe Ferguson could get away with it, but there wouldn’t be many others. | | | |

Duff comment on the OS today. Am I reading too much into this statement?
“The main worry is Joe Allen in terms of how long he will be out, we cannot put a timeline on it yet.
“He has two or three options and it’s up to him which path he chooses. There’s lots to weigh up for him.”

I read that the same way.
If he’s implying Joe could retire, having been due to start at Cardiff, it must be a bad one. | | | |

Joe will not play much part again on the pitch l
Maybe off the pitch but he’s short to pieces and people need to accept that.
Same with Walsh,an horrific purchase .
We are carrying Walsh Joe and Naughton and people go on about money and wages at the club ! | |
