We all know Selles won’t walk

So we have to wait until he is pushed and this won’t happen as long as dai in the owner

Dai will be the owner for a long time yet

So Groundhog Day caries on

leon Selles is incompetent and this team has a loser mentality at its core. He should have gone 2 months ago.


He should never have been appointed in the first place.


I did warn everyone


You did, Jimbo. Everyone was so convinced by him when the appointment was announced and you were the one and only voice saying he should.never have been appointed.

Does anyone feel vaguely sick watching Chris Wilder walk back into Sheffield United and see him have a nearly instant impact? If we can believe the press reports, we were so close to having him at manager.

Not as sick as I feel when Gabe Osho gets a man of the match award in the PL, or Loader scores for Porto, or Olise smacks one in from 30 yards for Palace. There are so many we've lost or missed out on over recent years that I'm getting used to it.

Bit early for that, they've just beaten a Brentford side with no forwards currently, think they would have won that game anyway

Putting a positive slant, despite everything producing quality players still seems to be in our DNA. The problems all start with 1st team planning, which is an easier thing for a new owner to fix.

I feel pig sick that we lost Osho, Olise and Richards got very little. Could easily have had £40m combined for the 3 of them and our woes would be much reduced.

Wilder would have jumped at the first opportunity, something he has form for.

When Selles does go, who do we think we'll end up with? Will the new owners have someone in mind already, will Bowen have a say or will we interview anyone (unemployed and) interested (Stoke have just sacked Alex Neil)

I’m amazed it took Stoke so long over Neil, he has been absolutely woeful there

Tony Mowbray would be nice

Realistically, just think we’re stuck with bloody Selles for now. I’m not sure what’d it take to sack him before takeover and surely he’d have gone long ago otherwise. He’s rubbish

Even if we did sack him, who would come in, knowing a new owner could come in and decide he wants somebody else in job?

No he wouldn't. He's said in the past he wouldn't want to manage us. That was back when he was with Bradford, but for whatever reason, he isn't fond of the idea of managing us, and considering how the club looks today, I doubt he'll have changed his mind.

As much of a subpar manager Selles is, the club simply has far too many issues for them to be fixed by having someone else.

We have absolutely no chance of staying up for as long as the club does not have new owners.

And now thanks to that fat Chinese prick Dai Yongge we are setting up to be the next Bradford :x and some fans thought relegation would be a good thing :lol:

Yeh, this. He would've walked before a ball had even been kicked.

Parky was warned years ago not to take the job by people who knew him because of the state of the club. This was before all the points deductions and before he joined Wrexham. Nothing will have happened since to change his mind.

So ignore Karboot and his shtick.

Well I woke up to a very random dream this morning. Random as I usually neither remember my dreams or dream about football but if this dream were to come true - we will hear something positive about the takeover this week following a 2-1 win over Oxford. The new owners will then go on to give the job to Steve Bruce.
