Delighted with Carsley. Delighted with Eustace. A rare win-win for me, happy days.

Huge mistake if we turn our noses up at Nuno, it would be a ridiculous decision Best get ready to delete your account, mate!

Huge mistake if we turn our noses up at Nuno, it would be a ridiculous decision There’s not been a single credible source that have even said that Nuno is interested or that we’ve spoke to him, so if we get Eustace it doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve gone with him over Nuno. Eustace and Carsley are probably about the same level for me and would much prefer one of them over the likes of Mowbray, Heckingbottom and Beale.

I think the risks in Eustace is hes likely to be fae more easy to manipulate for Martin and Jared for them its the perfect type of appointment to continue ther wrecking spree a Nuno or Warnock type appointment and we wll know what’s libel to happen its just when the bomb goes off , Personally i think Eustace nothing against John is a really poor appointment as its enabler for the failed DOF and head of recruitment to carry on with the vested self interest driven deluded management of our march to league one .( let’s be honest neither would get a job at anything like this level elsewhere. .) I a sure FFP is playing a part but canddily thats now an issue entirely of our own making thanks to the incompetence of the two afore- mentioned buffoons , Eustace because it extends the status quo is an appalling appointment. With Eustace RM can establish himself as the Sporting Director and have him as a direct report. I doubt they could establish that with a more mature candidate. Agree that's why it's a self interest disaster appointment

Yeah, I was a bit drunk when I posted, if it doesn't happen I'll disappear a bit, and then sneak back on when everyone's forgotten 😂 If they choose another manager then it is a decision the club makes because they prefer the other candidate. I don't know why we would hesitate to appoint him though

Agree that's why it's a self interest disaster appointment Flipside is that a head coach style appointment doesn’t require yet another upheaval/overhaul to get things moving in the right direction, simply improving what’s currently there. We can’t afford, in time or money, to tear up yet again and restart.

Let’s face it
Since Mark Hughes got the chop, we have been a very unattractive proposition for any manager that the fans would regard as inspiring
It feels like that with player recruitment too. The frustration is, we have the wealth for investment, albeit controlled by FFP, but that doesn’t seem to be enough to cut it when recruiting.
It’s our club, and we love it, but to the outsiders(managers players) we as fans would like to see, we are not very appealing.
We needed to have remained in the premier league to maintain any sort of appeal.

So our global search for a new manager has taken us as far as Birmingham, St George's Park and Blackburn? Good luck SJE, you'll need it. We might have asked twenty managers far and wide and 19 of them said no, or didn't fit for us as a package. We can't blame the club for changing direction with Jared and Ricky overseeing things rather than relying on the manager, and then bring in somebody who might want to work completely differently to that model. If they think Eustace is the right man and is the only one happy working in such an environment, then that's going to be the one they appoint. If you think allowing Ricky Martin (who was chosen by the old manager) to run things is a change of direction then good luck to you. The bloke is a complete and utter fucking idiot.

Oh dear - he'd have me pining for SJE. JDT out to 22s too. I'd really talked myself into him. Still looking in vain for movement elsewhere, but alas..... m.skybet.com/football/manager-specials/event/32720089John Eustace 1/4 Nuno Espirito Santo 6/1 Lee Carsley 8/1 Paul Heckingbottom 14/1 Steven Schumacher 20/1 Tony Mowbray 20/1 Jon Dahl Tomasson 22/1 Dean Holden 25/1 Dick Schreuder 25/1 Graham Potter 25/1

Heckingbottom would be a really rogue appointment. His overall record is dreadful. His links to Dublin are a worry.

Just to remind everyone that Slaven Bilic was something like 1 billion to 1 on to be Stoke manager last time*

Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko He’s (Eustace) been the name I head from the start … but they have been looking into others too this week … I see someone has had a few quid on … maybe a decision has been made …

Chuck a few quid on some folks that nobody wants, makes us all hysterical, and then we're all relieved and grateful when Super Johnny is revealed with his scarf.

My bad, just put £2.50 on Schumacher so must've violently affected the market.
