Yep, if Gary O'Neil wants the job I imagine it's his.
However, I'm still "Manning In" |  |

This Danny Rohl seems to be linked for every job in world football weekly!
He should of been manager of Sheffield United to watch that unfold. |  | | |

….about the best they could attract. He’s done OK in spells but is a bit “streaky” when it comes to getting results and is prone to being over emotional.
Robins has only really ever done well at Coventry, apart from that he’s a classic dull “journeyman” manager. They might favour him because he played for them when they were at their very “average” peak as a club.
Rohl is back in Rangers’ thoughts, so hopefully they don’t have a chance.
Whatever way they go, I hope and expect they’ll make the wrong decision.

Budgies going for Robins? That's hybridization rather than the inbreeding that they're used to.

Didn't Rohl rule himself out of the Rangers job? |  |

….Knapper can get away with sacking a manager that he appointed without getting binned himself.
I suspect that any new appointment will be taken out of his hands and that he’ll be on very thin ice between now and the next transfer window.
He was a very odd appointment in the first place, it was almost as if Webber recommended his replacement purely as a tactic to make his own reign look more positive.
That club’s board is totally out of its depth.
Banter.

In short, Knapper is bright in many ways but should never have been given so senior a role. | |

May be it is a problem with Knapper ? Recruitment has been poor over several seasons though sales have been good. So perhaps its a matter of "who do we buy" rather than the cost.
But certainly the players were clearly unmotivated on Saturday. |  | | |

They were buying players by their data but from leagues that are a long way from the Championship. If they change tack then maybe they'll be more successful as they have money it seems, just spending it badly. |  |

The oink'n is a brilliant read today re all of this. Can't see Robins going to the scum, even with his history - it's kind of suicidal for managers with Kapper giving them as much time as the fat Greek does at Forest.
If Manning doesn't stay they should push for the floppy haired fraud as he has done brilliantly everywhere he has gone. | | | |

I tend to agree. I think our banter era is a warning to them, and their current situation is a warning to us. My analysis may well be overly simple, but:
They didn't go up when they had parachute money. They've slowly bled their decent players (most recently the likes of Rowe, Borja Sainz, Nunez), and have acquired a large number of mediocre also rans at irritatingly high prices (from their point of view) that really add up, albeit not huge prices in the scheme of parachute clubs' budgets.
Add to that that they've chopped and changed their manager, presumably out of some delusion that anything less than top 6 is a failure (one of the mantras of their hierarchy apparently).
I think any coach coming in at Manning's point in time would have had a really hard job. He's not covered himself in glory with 6 straight home losses - that's a pretty special way of making the fans hate you. But it's a hard environment. In my view it really shows how hard it is once your former EPL team disintegrates. It gets harder and harder. The next period may well be the slow decade of decline like we had post Royle/Jim, or they may just fall through the trapdoor limply this season. No reason why not. I genuinely had them down as relegation contenders at the start of the season.
Manning made his own bed by going their frankly - why?!
So I think regardless of the senior management hierarchy it's a really really hard situation now to get out of. At Ipswich we have a group of owners and managerial types who are bringing professionalism, maturity and confidence to proceedings. But without that magic ingredient - money - I doubt we would be any better off than Norwich right now.
How on earth do they pull themselves out of this? If they go down to League One I suppose they can try bringing home grown players through. When we built under Burley we didn't have megabucks, but the likes of RWright and Dyer didn't half help.
I wonder if Knapper will have the brass neck to stay / will be allowed to stay if he accepts that he's got another managerial appointment wrong? The fanbase seem more anti him (and Webber) than Manning. And that's quite something with 6 home losses on the old trot.
Sargent doesn't seem to be as happy a bunny as at the start of the season. Maybe he's getting even less service. Maybe he doesn't like the cold. Maybe he can see where it's going and wishes he boarded the Nunez Express. He's their only really coveted player now.
Bottom line: they finished 13th last year and lost two out of their 3 standout stars in Sainz and Nunez. Why on earth wouldn't they be well down the table? |  | | |

If they do i hope it's soon before farke gets the sack at Leeds which is always on the cards. |  |

Correct ….the whole club is a rudderless ship at the moment , Knapper has not had his hand held by anybody with football nouse and clout .
More importantly the yanks have not put anybody in-house at the temple of doom from their own trusted employees , consequently Knapper has nobody to answer too on his doorstep .
The club is a sh!tstorm at present.
Long may it continue. | | | |
