I've said it twice. But usually I'd be more specific with my diagnosis but everyone on here are faries and pretend to be offended by it.
I don’t watch them anymore. Done with matches, hence I don’t post on match day threads. I can **** off again if you’d prefer?
Honest question here and I don’t want to be abused. Why do managers always have to be older retired or close to retired players. Could a manager not be someone who is actually on the pitch in their pomp. Like a captain?
You mean a player-manager? It's been attempted plenty of times, but it doesn't work as managers have to do a lot of office work too, I think the player-manager quickly loses fitness, stops playing himself in order to avoid animosity and every single time I've ever seen it done the player often opts to retire within a year or so after getting the job. Kevin Nolan was player manager at Leyton Orient, he didn't play himself once.
Fair enough. I just feel like the best place to know what’s happening is on the pitch. I guess that is why you have a manager and a captain. You need your captain to be totally in line with your own ideas so he can implement them on the pitch. And that’s another issue we have. Bruce and Lascelles don’t appear to get on.
Kevin Nolan is my number 1 pick to replace Bruce. He has experience managing, he's now been Moyes' assistant at West Ham for 3 years. He's also one of my favourite players we've had. There you go @Roy Munson
And he’s not a yes man. Clearly he likes a pint and would stand up to Ashley’s ****. Personally i don’t buy this British managers are **** lark. It’s just they don’t generally get an opportunity as clubs would prefer a sexy Spaniard. Im also fed up of all the usual names/dinasour idiots. I would buy into a new young manager who is trying something different and modern. Even if there’s a few years of pain.
Kevin Nolan is a better fit. I think people have forgotten he exists. Of course there's also an age old saying on here DPP... "Sack Bruce now, hire Joey Barton!"
Enough of the stupid comments thanks. Thinking, expecting, demanding that a brick come and manage us, it's exactly this type of thing that gives NUFC fans a bad name. We've got no hope of attracting a brick.Unreasonable expectations.Deluded.
