Foogle 2,104 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 1 minute ago, TLF10 said: Just read the Gazette article on how long it has previously taken SG to replace manager. A pointless article in grand scheme of things but most articles are this time of year. Anyway the longest it took us was 33 days when Southgate replaced McClaren. Albeit that was probs because Southgate was a fall back option. 2nd longest was 23 days when AK took over Mogga. 21 days since Pulis left so this is now 3rd longest. I dont think we will get to 33 days with this appointment but will probs pass the 23 days. Quite a few of the shorter ones are midway through a season as well. It seems like the longest ones are where an actual managerial search has been undertaken, in the case of AK (23 days) it was a left-field appointment. In the case of Southgate (33 days), it was the fall back option after a search for a successor fell through. So we're definitely in that territory at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

Not much to discuss there, is there? There is a difference in discussing rumours and using rumours to support opinions though. I’m all for discussing rumours. And will happily do that. But when I’m trying to support an opinion I have I try to use fact, like stats or public knowledge. The two posts I’ve replied to in the past two days have used ITK information to support their argument. Again, I’m sorry if the way I’ve approached this has made it come across like I’m having a go at you. I honestly have no issue with members posting ITK information. I actually really enjoy reading it so keep it up. My frustration lies with the way it’s then used by other members. Link to post Share on other sites

Snowblind 1,734 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 For God's sake can we stop bickering about who's ITK, who's not and the backbiting? People would (and do) soon complain if there's no ITK info coming out, so just be thankful for what's there wether you believe it's accurate or not. It's an internet football forum for Christ's sake... Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Looking forward to the Woodgate era. There’d be nothing better than a local lad bringing through the youth players with attacking football. UTB 8 Link to post Share on other sites

UTB I've accepted it now and what Neil Madison said on the radio that Woody likes Liverpool's style of play, which straight away gets a thumbs up from me. I think Woodgate will play better football than Pulis. Still wish Jokanovic was getting it tho. Link to post Share on other sites

Whoppy 593 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi everyone. Long time follower but first time posting. I am really surprised some of you are keen on Woodgate as manager - it's got easy option written all over it, a little like when Karanka was sacked and Agnew was appointed. I would be massively underwhelmed if he was given the job after all this time they have had to look for someone to take the club in a direction away from how Pulis has things set up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolgate 683 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 We spent 3 weeks interviewing people and come up with an internal appointment of Jonathan Woodgate. I'm sorry but that is an absolute joke. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think many are keen for Woody, more that people are willing to give him a chance if he is given it, there are a few plus points to his appointment. Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just because I support the club doesn't mean I have to happily clap every decision ever made. Im seriously struggling to get behind this appointment. Just stinks of pure jobs for the boys. If he didn't have a Teesside accent he wouldn't be anywhere near the role and for good reason. Cheap, unambitious, and parochial. If we've truly been inundated with applicant's, and woody is the only decent applicant out of them then that says way way more about the club and it's ambitions. We've dragged this entire search out just to fall back on an uninspiring cheap appointment. The fans will struggle to get behind this, unless they are of blind support. A Genuinely poor decision from Gibson. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
