How very sad and unimaginative. This appointment will whip the fans up into a feverish torpor. The last hope is we're sending that cretin Scholes out to Dublin to clinch the deal Agreed, come on don’t let us down Tony and actually clinch a deal!

It's strange that we have gone from a younger manager with fresh ideas and an exciting project, to an old school manager potentially with a short term contract. It does make us look like a club with no really plan or direction Can’t see it being short term Won't that require him to job share between us and Ireland

Jurassic Park III it is then 🙄 Hope you are not referring to a TP return! If we're talking movies, that would be Nightmare in a Damaged Brain.

Do we want boring football for half a season and premier league survival, or a inexperienced manager with no premier league experience and a straight relegation just because he's 20 years younger? People asking for lee fucking johnson. Christ on a bike I forgot Martin O’Neill was the messiah and we’re 100% guaranteed to stay up with O’Neill. Johnson is one of the most coveted managers in the Championship. Young and hungry and plays good, intense football.

cannot see why we have not been in contact with Thomas tutchel got be worth a phone call, better than any managers we have been looking at Because he wouldn't come here in a thousand years maybe 🤔

I hope people on here are digging up posts like this in a few weeks though and saying told you so as our two Irish friends Have worked wonders. 👍

Sick and tired of fans, not just ours, wanking themselves stupid over foreign managers. I was all for Flores, but he was no top manager. Just because he's got a fancy name and a scarf around his neck doesn't make him pep.
I bet nearly most on here had to Google Flores just to see where he was manager and what he'd done, yet you're all crying.

Cant help but feel underwhelmed with this. What a wank day, Saturdays are usually only this shit when we actually play! I'll get behind the lads and MON, but I hope it's only a deal until the end of the season if we are to offer him something. There's no future in this, beyond survival - surely?

If they had a short term here they could probably do the World Cup too. Longer term and that goes out the window I'd have thought. Don't know what their current state of play with the FIA is. Did they commit while we shifted focus to QSF.

What a shambles this club is, no vision, no plan, no ambition, no clue. Scared to death of trying something new. How can you go from Flores to O’neil and Keane, it just doesn’t make sense. Ireland fans are celebrating, just read there comments, they can’t wait for him to go.

I bet they'll be glad they've got someone coming in who is enthusiastic, determined, and will give 100% for us, unlike some Johnny foreigner might have done. Johnny Foreigner 😂 Fuck me, no wonder SOT's got such a bad rep. And I'm not exactly left wing. By the way, Keane isn't British 😎 And you're point is? How many pundits and ex players say it? They all said because he's got a foreign name he's flavour of the month.

I'm with block. Totally disastrous appointment if it happens. I hope we are third time unlucky. Rather have Paul Lambert to be honest. What a Moby Presume that's an insult sports... Why?

Johnson is doing great this season, spectacularly well,however last season there were Johnson out banners at Ashton Gate. We are not 100% guaranteed to stay up under any manager but we are far more likely to stay up under O'Neill than not.

To be fair to MoN his record isn't bad, he was shit at Sunderland but there has been a rot running through that club for years now, i doubt anyone could have stopped it. I believe in his last season at Villa he finished 6th ? he also go them to a FA cup final.
Maybe some of us are overreacting a bit ? he might actually do a job!

I don’t think we should be feeling so discontent, huge believer in fate me. Majority of West ham, Palace and Everton fans didnt want moyes, woy and big sam & their results(and performance’s) have improved significantly, so why not us?
Gooarrn stoke.

The reason coaches from overseas are well thought of are because in recent times they’re the ones with all the ideas who look forward rather than back. How many progressive British coaches are out there? Even most of the good up and coming ones are different flavours of Pulis.

So if MON does turn us down to extend his deal, and that seems pretty likely, what then? Megson? Jokanovic? Di Matteo or Sherwood??)
