Jesus, have you seen this guys track record? Doesn’t stay anywhere for any length of time, and doesn’t know the Prem.
Is the plan to get us relegated to the Championship so that we could then appoint Rooney because he has experience of that division.
Club are an absolute joke.

Please don’t put him on a three year contract. Give him to the end of season then make a decision that is. Best for the club, and not your mate Kia.

{Ed002's Note - Zero chance of that happening.}

First game with him in charge we will win 3-0. Caught the GB disease sorry!

Can't be 3-0 DFS we always let in two so 3-2 it is.

Plenty of successful managers in the Prem that had had no previous experience. I would be concerned that he doesn’t appear to be a long term solution, when that’s what we need. 18 month contact would not be the end of the world. If preferred candidates have turned the role down, he could be the best solution. Either way, part of the problem is us, the fans, deciding that he’s awful before he’s even managed a game.

JB have you seen his record?

Apparently no one has seen his record and think he’s the Portuguese Arsene Wenger.

I saw an article that immediately concerned me saying Everton ready to gamble on Vitor
Haven’t we gambled enough?


9.) 24 Jan 2022
24 Jan 2022 16:06:35
Yes, seen his record. He wouldn’t be my first choice.
He has won trophies, albeit with established teams in poor leagues. We are writing him off before he’s even signed though.

If it was a two horse race we would back the non runner.

In my dreams DFS mate, now one of those scores every few weeks be good mate.

Don’t know a lot about him and one of the Ed’s will correct me if I am wrong, but pretty sure he plays attack minded, pressing football with the aim of keeping the ball. If so, I am all for it it as this is the football I want to see.
Good luck to him getting some of the waste of space players we have buying into it but hopefully if he is brought in it will allude to the strategic review going down the lines of entertaining attacking football and if he doesn’t work the next one will follow the same philosophy.

We might as well have no manager at all because some people find problems with every one.

Rooney - inexperienced
Lampard - Cockney

Pereira - never managed in prem. Well -

Jose only ever won stuff in Portugal, wenger managed in Japan.

You all want Potter who started in Sweden or kovac who got sacked from bayern and monaco

Vitor may not stay for long, he may not be a world beater. We don't need one.

We need someone who can come in, save us from the drop, stabilise the club, even for just 18 months while dead wood goes and ffp issues calm.

The main worry for me is not vitor, but the fact that kia still controls moshiri hands despite a so called review.

Does kia have photos of moshiri in uncompromising situations or something?

He was disrupting football back when tevez and mascherano came the prem. We don't need him ruing our club anymore.

{Ed025's Note - im with you geoff, by the way do you want to buy any nude photo,s of farhad on a motorbike?.. :)


14.) 24 Jan 2022

He plays an attacking 343 which could work with the squad we have. It sounds like he’s going to be interim coach with the option of another year. Time to get behind the guy and hope we can get 6/ 7 points from the next 3 games!


15.) 24 Jan 2022
24 Jan 2022 17:52:48
If he has been offered a 4 month contract am sorry its not good enough we are in a relegation scrap and yet mosheri and these 3rd party advisors still go for these managers he's not good enough and clearly
Doesnt like staying at clubs for to long either rather have victor Meldrow the way this club is being run its wrong i pray to god we don't appoint him.

Erm, no thanks, Ed. Bad enough I've got naked photos of Wife without giving me more nightmares.

If the club do appoint vitor, we all need to get behind him and ignore his record. Let's look at the type of coach he is, style of play etc.

He has no Liverpool links, he is European and plays pretty attacking football. Exactly what people have been asking for.

{Ed025's Note - im with you geoff..

If this is the case of 4 Months with an option to extend, then I can only come up with the reasons why, either we are waiting until the Summer, to allow Rooney to finish his stint at Derby, then go for him, or Bill is waiting until after the World Cup, so he can bring Martinez in.

If that is the case, think I would have preferred Dunc to have it for the 4 Months.

Ed025, have you been raiding Rondons house and found the negatives.

{Ed025's Note - i cant reveal my sources baz.. :)

24 Jan 2022 19:02:55
I'm 100% with you JB. I don't know very much about the guy, so he wouldn't have been top of my list but if it's him let's give him a chance! The problem we have now is that nobody is the perfect choice (anyone close to a perfect choice wouldn't even contemplate joining EFC) and because the fanbase is unbearably toxic there will be lots quick to turn on whoever it is. That doesn't help the manager and it doesn't help the players. as a fanbase we drive the club towards these sackings and are then immediately negative about the replacement. It's a vicious circle and very difficult to see how or where it ends.

Stuff pretty attacking football, just get the at least 19 points, use as many buses as you want.

Question for 1 of the eds.
Has paulo fonceca been approached or is there any reason he's not getting a mention. Thanks in advance of the reply.

{Ed025's Note - as far as we know he has not been approached yet AB, he is 33/1 with the bookies which says a lot mate..

DFS, get on the phone to fat sam mate. He gets huge discounts with arrival.

4 to park in front of the goal and 20 to ferry all the fans home after 5 mins of watching his football, which they were threatening to do last time he was anger.

Rafa tried parking the bus but players made mistakes and he only played 2 in midfield instead of 3.

Carlo parked 2 buses with 3 in midfield and we got so lucky with some of the wins. We got results gainst teams who attacked us, arsenal, chelsea, liverpool, etc but lost to teams we had to attack, villa, Fulham, etc.

We need to boost player confidence, give them a set way of playing and formation and just leave them for the rest of the season to learn it.

All this 433, 343, 442 every different game. Pick one throughout training and game time and give the bloody kids a fair shot.
