    No, I think its would be exciting.. but its definitely a gamble... maybe more than we need to take..

    You'd also can't imagine he wouldn't have lots of conditions before he takes the role.. so no push from him to force us to modernise our structure.. I may be doing him a disservice..

    However if he does well, he'll exit as quickly as he can.. under this regime.

    This is true, used to work in a bookies for a long time and they are * scared of losing money.

    If you went in and asked to put a few grand on a total random manager they wouldn't take it but I guarantee you they would appear in the betting and at a short price. They are absolute * bags

    It might work in the US but it wouldn't over here. IMO.

    You need quite specific players to play that formation as well. Not sure how flexible it would be.

    No offence mate, but that shouldn't even be a consideration when it comes to who we hire.

    Unfortunately it is. But it shouldn't be.

    1/5 with Paddy Power now. Knutsen is the manager version of dolberg.. absolute zero interest in coming to us..

    Really not sure Nancy will suit us, at this stage though can we really wait until January for Knutsen?

    Doubt MON would want to stay on that long plus we need to do a lot of business in January so unless Knutsen gives a list of players he wants it’ll be back to club signings of throwing * at the wall.

    Any manager we get with this injury list is gonna be a risk..

    The guy Nancy does seem a bit too much of a risk though to completely go against everything we are at the minute..

    Think we need someone who's attacking definitely but who also isn't so open in his system, especially when we have nothing to help him out in that department as we'd need a full rebuild and patience from January onwards, whilst trying to claw back points and win a league..

    Nancy coming in would be a huge letdown and a disaster waiting to happen imo. Put this idea in the bin where it belongs and get a proper manager in ffs.

    It's absolutely needed.. think you misread my post mate, he may just be happy to get the role.. and not push for what's required.

    Probably cause there's absolutely zero chance he'd come..

    I’d be giving Knutsen absolutely * everything and anything he wanted.

    The standard of performance at press conferences is enough justification for bringing Ange back.
    Let's make the "journos" frightened again.
