I keep checking the club socials for an announcement. I hope they say something soon or my productivity at work is gonna tank this week!

I thought Baleba's best performances for us have been when RDZ used him as a sort-of libero. The home game against Brentford in December springs to mind.

That was some top-class detective work there @Zeberdi

I'm 26 days older than RDZ. Who I now realise had his birthday two days ago.

Getting back on topic, I'd honestly be happy with either of these two. And I've just remembered saying exactly the same thing when it was between RDZ and the Bodo/Glimt guy last time. Bloom knows what he's doing. I'm in the minority who'd actually prefer Rydstrom, just because part of me really...

Re the "why wasn't Bart first-choice all last season", wasn't that about his development? RDZ's tactics left the GK very exposed if a game was going wrong for us, which is (partly) why when we lost, we lost heavily. I think someone - maybe RDZ, maybe the GK coach, maybe someone with authority...

To me it looks like Hurzeler represents an evolution of RDZ's tactics; Rydstrom would represent the first attempt to play Dinizismo in one of Europe's big leagues; and Potter represents, well, Potterball. I feel like Rydstrom is the one that's potentially the most fun, but also the highest...

Surprised nobody's mentioned the late Joe Kinnear's first press conference as Newcastle manager. Could only find an audio version and it's not great quality (but there's a transcript in the YouTube notes).

Are we expecting any of the newly promoted teams to do as badly as Sheffield United and Burnley did? I suspect they'll do better, which in turn means a more open relegation fight. Maybe one of the three will stink the place out, but I'd be surprised if we had all three go back down, and more...

I'm not the person you're asking, but tbf to them, they did say "one of the best potential candidates"

Of course, it's one rule for Bloom with Brighton and USG, but another for the Manchester clubs. We all knew the authorities wouldn't allow them to be affected by this rule, and it stinks.

I just struggle to get past how small-time we'd look by reappointing Potter. There's a reason we all laughed at Palace every time they went running back to Hodgson. That said, I'd get over it eventually.

This one's out of our reach, I reckon. But I said before that it'd take a "wow" appointment to shake me out of my post-RDZ funk, and this would definitely be a "wow" appointment. Edit: That said, we do seem to have a good rep in Argentina thanks to how we've handled the careers of Mac Allister...

I can't see this myself. It brings to mind Palace re-appointing Roy, and we're better than that. Aren't we?

So you think an elected councillor and MP's aide managed to keep his views secret from the party? Or did he just fit in with a certain part of the party? Which is more likely?
