caretaker role and contract could be an assessment for a permanent role.
to dare is to do!

Tyson Fury is making his comeback at the stadium in April, maybe we should just ask him to come down early and sort out the brick we're in?

We keep focusing on supposed high intensity press managers, do we even have the players to do it? Our injury situation would suggest not as we have no depth to rotate, and even if we can we would need a semi fit squad first or it’s all knock on effect

You beat me to it. We've got about 12 fit first team players at the minute - so would it be wise to base our relegation fight on an intensely high-pressing style?

It's more about short intensity. If you win the ball back high and quickly, you then rest with the ball a lot. It's haplessly chasing shadows for 90 minutes that causes fatigue.

Igor Tudor it is apparently.

Oustanding. Sacked byJuventus in October after a winless run of 8 games. He'll set the players' pulses racing, I'll bet...

Oh well. Here's hoping he can do enough.

He did get 5 points out of those 8 games, which is probably an improvement on our form.

Yep it is, Frank got 4 points in the last 8 matches…

I imagine Tudors last 17 games for Juve are better than the 2 wins in 17 games Frank “managed” as well?

Maybe the club aren't as obsessed with getting Poch back as Gutter Boy and some of the fanboys, and so if a genuine A or B grade coach is available then they are trying to do a proper deal, hence the delay. If I was a coach/manager in discussions with THFC I would be double checking every line of the contract and making sure I had significant compensation written in for when they probably sack me in 8 to 18 months time. It wouldn't be a rush to sign on the dotted line job.

I'm not invested in a Poch return personally. I think it would be a mistake to go back to him. He was brilliant but his side of the tally chart wasn't unblemished when he left and I haven't been convinced massively by his body of work since leaving us that suggests he is anything beyond a false Messiah in this situation.

Would be my thoughts as well.
