Slaven Bilic

[baggieal]

A manager with more passion than the two previous numpties will ever have. At last a great midfield and some exciting looking players.

I bet the Bilic connection has come into the factor of these signings so looking very positive for once in years!

Yep - he’s looking the part and definitely a factor in players joining. In Dowling we trust...........or maybe not....

Time will tell, he has the passion and is loved by the fans, but so was DM and he nearly saved us from relegation and got us to 4th in the Championship, yet fans turned on him.

Fingers crossed for a good season, 1st/2nd without the playoffs would be great.

I hope Slaven can live up to expectations. Onward and hopefully upward.

Nothing is guaranteed! DM was his own downfall - mates - playing Gayle on wing - no pace in midfield - 2 at back which was stupid with our players and more stupid decisions every week. With that team - It was not hard to get to fourth.

You can see the tactical know how already in Bilic and never felt so positive in a long time!

We seem to have more pace and creativity in midfield ....maybe not experience but where did that get us.....than for the past five seasons.....to be fair early days with Bilic and its a long hard season in the Champ......but I actually enjoyed watching us play against Forest for 70% of the game.....

Al, Moore wasn't a manager end of. He had never managed before, what possessed the club to give him the job in the first place was beyond me. Some of his tactics and selections beggared belief.

Anyway we now have a real manager who has managed at both premier league an international level, who oozes charm, passion and charisma.
He may not get us up this time but if he does, then expect a similar cull at the start of next season.
At least the players won't be picking the side.

Spot on there Des as always! I am actually excited now and for me Sawyers is the one who will make all these new players tick!

The pace and creativity we have in the side now, even HRK should get a goal or two.

Moore has to be the most uninspiring manager in the history of the world.

He was like the big black prisoner in “The Green Mile” but minus the super powers.

The only thing Moore could attract was dust......settling on him whilst he thought of an answer to a simple question.

He is to managing what I am to international diplomacy.

If we would have had Bilic last season we would be playing our first game this weekend I'm sure of it ,
