I think I get what CT has been talking about, even if the mood shift is a bit less pronounced than he is making out. I was disappointed myself when Woody was announced, but I've had a bit of time to calm down, watched the press conference and been mildly impressed at what's been said - although they have to follow through with what they've been saying or it's all for nought. Then I remembered the above post I wrote back in January, and I realised that I was never really against getting Woody in in the first place! I think as names like Jokanovic, Reizeger, Stendel, even getting Karanka back, got dangled in front of my eyes, I was sort of taken in by having someone with a bit of experience, or another fancy foreigner taking the helm, and Woodgate sort of seemed like a meh choice because of that. That doesn't mean that I can't be optimistic about the future, now I've had time to think about it and come around to ths fact that, well I would have been quite happy with Woody 6 months ago so I don't see why I wouldn't be now. Maybe there are others on the forum like that?

What a turn up, from relegation from to world cup leader!

I am going to be optimistic about this. It cant be any worse than the last 18 months anyway!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but my mate has recently gone to the Algarve and Schteve was on his flight, so hair island is not coming back to the Riverside 😁

Stuani and Adomah definitely do not fall into the young category

Think given it was only introduced today I think it comes in to effect as of next season, Tudders80. I think One thing I've always wondered is, what if none applied? Could a club hypothetically still be punished if they were unable to follow the Rooney Rule due to a lack of interest from BEM coaches?

Those old manager and transfer threads that constantly went off track were the reason I joined this forum, they were great fun. If you want a thread just for news you could always make a "concise new manager news thread".... 😉😂

Wimmy wham wham wozzle!

Didnt know much about him before but after watching that Stendel video I went and googled some Barnsley highlights from the season and now I want him as manager

Nsue?

Is he Kike Sola

Billingham Synthonia just released their kits for next year, would love something like that away kit for ours, or that third kit in white with a red lion

Honestly @BoroJake, I would have him back, I just think he hated Pulis' style of play. However I think there's a large section of the fanbase who would be on his back as soon as there was a bad game or two. Shame really as he could be instrumental in a team that plays to his strengths.
