New Manager

[sinkov]

As he signed yet ?

Whoever gets it ,it will be a poisoned chalice..No money to spend,crap owners,players leaving in the summer. The downward spiral is beginning.

Dyche has certainly left some big boots to fill, that is for sure.

In the next month or so, we will find out one way or the other whether Pace is a genuine dude or a charlatan.

I fear the latter.

I think Alan Pace has done a reasonable job since the take over.

There was very little he could do about Chris Wood going to Newcastle as they met his release clause.

The player that have been signed Collins, Cornet and Weghorst all appear to better than those they replaced when playing to their strengths. The verdict on Roberts he needs more time to impress.

The controversial act being to sack Sean Dyche, but based on the current and the last season we were playing poor quality football and not getting the results on a regular basis. Personally I think Pace acted too late to save us from relegation, Dyche should have been replaced no later than after our loss to Brentford.

Unless Dyche did something really outrageous the whole affair smacks of a visceral response that is ill considered and badly timed.

I was reconciled to the idea of us being relegated either way, but I hope Pace has a plan.

Personally, I don't think he has.

Southampton tomorrow, still no new manager to save our season. They don't know what they're doing do they, we're on a wing and a prayer now. Fasten your seat belts, we're on final descent, it's going to be a bumpy ride, could even be a crash landing.

As Alfie so perceptively puts it,

" The downward spiral is beginning."

It has to start somewhere, and it usually starts with a club sacking their manager without a replacement being lined up.

Trouble is there are so many other precedents, Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, Sunderland, Oldham to name but a few.

In my lifetime I never thought a club who could field this lot would almost go out of business 25 years later...

Indeed BT, it's a bloody long list, but there are still some innocent souls that seem to think we have some special dispensation, it won't/can't happen to us, that we are somehow unique.

They are perfectly entitled to their opinions, but I suspect they are living in a fool's paradise and are in for a rude awakening. Or it could be me that's wrong, and I'm in for a very pleasant surprise over the next couple of seasons.

I wish.

BT , any one of those players in that well documented photo would stroll into our current line up. They were that good.

Nuno Esprito Santo now on the radar, my man inside Turf Moor tells me.
