    Personally I find it a very exciting time waiting to see who our next foreign manager who got sacked in serie b and hardly speaks English will be

    It's quite mysterious. No obvious crossover with the Pozzos. Managed 11 games in his career. Such a nobody that the third result on Google for him is the thread about him on this forum.

    I can only guess he's going to be someone's assistant. Someone mentioned Oscar Garcia was unemployed.

    That's actually a very good shout. However, I just checked the betting odds and he's not even listed.

    We know the Pozzo's like Garcia and he only left because of health reasons. He's now out of work and Munoz could be his assistant. Both are Spanish of course. This all fits.

    I hope we hire the ex Newcastle striker, then fire him and hire Xisco Munoz - it'll mean we go from Xisco to Xisco.

    Imanol Aguacil has been linked. Tremendous stuff. In my mind anyway.

    Sounds a bit like Anusol so might be useful in getting rid of the pain in the arse players we have.

    I am honestly at the point now that I just don't care who we bring in as head coach.

    I thought that would be a difficult thing to write, but it's not. I really do not care.

    I have such little respect for this football club that they could bring in anyone from Eddie Howe to Ian Holloway and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

    Why should we, as fans, invest any time or attention in a process that will simply be repeated in 6 months' time?

    The same old problems will crop up as they always do, and the head coach will always get the chop whilst the real cancer within the club will remain.

    Thank you to the footballing world and to Pozzo for zapping all interest I have in the game.

    Money. Gino won’t go out and get anyone established.

    We’ll bring this competition winner in on as low a contract as possible, he’ll continue selling anything that isn’t nailed to the floor in January then wonder why we haven’t walked the league when we finish mid table.

    Genuinely now of the opinion that Gino has completely lost his marbles.

    Who even cares, they’ll all end up as our manager at some point so what does the actual order matter?

    Yep, wouldn’t be disappointed with him at this juncture. Good win ratio, knows this level and has a record of success in the EFL. Decent style and seems the type to put an arm round players rather than bemoan them.

    Certainly not a headline appointment but I think we are a bit beyond that now really and need a sensible approach...which almost certainly means we won’t get one.

    I'm bored, so am going to speculate about who the trouble makers are.

    I think we can write-off the following:

    -Foster (just seems happy to be playing football and seems a decent fella)

    -Wilmot (young player, won't want to rock the boat, seems to have a good attitude)

    -Troost-Ekong, Ngakia, Garner, Sierralta and Murray (recent signings, problems pre-date them)

    -Cleverly (seems umber-professional, can't see it at all)

    -Kiko (seems to have knuckled down despite not getting his move. Consistently plays well)

    -J Pedro (seems like he's happy to be here)

    Probably none of these either:

    -Sarr (puts effort in, seems low on confidence and frustrated. Evidence that he cares)

    - Chalobah (seems to care about the club)

    - Hughes (Always gives his all when playing, doesn't seem like a trouble maker)

    -Bachmann (seems to have a decent attitude, has done well when called upon)

    Anyone I've missed/ misjudged. What do we all think?

    That name may look a bit too English for the owners' liking ;)

    Definitely seem like 3 of the most likely culprits

    I reckon we should stop ****ing around, just make it like the Have I got news for you presenter slot after Angus Deayton left, give it to all these no hopers on the basis of a guest spot each week. Save the inevitable compo payout, if they do well they come back for the Xmas special.

    I am expecting the Xisco Munoz manager announcement in the next couple of days or so and in time for the Norwich fixture.

    Cant get rid unless we accept no fee and pay up all or part of their contracts or heavily subsidise any loans. We are stuck with them. The challenge for any new manager will be to get them to perform.
