I never said we should keep him. I'm basing my opinion on the fact that when he got injured, it was reported that he was being sent back to Rotterdam, we were done with him as a loan player. Yet he ended up back, playing with the youths in their cup final, before being involved in the final squads. It would appear we have something in place with him.

The suggestion is Stewart and Steinsson. I guess the logic being that each represents and reports to current board / AC&49VC Tha band is getting together ACVC 😂😂😂 Andrew Cavenagh & 49ers Venture Capitalists.

If there are interviews for the managers job actually taking place before the new majority shareholders are in place, before the new dof is in place, then who is doing them ?

You've lost me !! 😂 ----------- Should we rename them the 51'ers otherwise things might get confused 😂😂😂

Sounds like a classic 'pile your money in and if it goes south, we told you so' scenario, rather than a truly collaborative effort. Let's hope this new investment by the 49ers actually demonstrates how a club can be run successfully, and reveals that the remaining 49% are indeed focused on profit, not primarily on long-term sustainability. It's going to be interesting to see how the 49ers make the other 49% look if they implement the same model they have shown with Leeds. As for the SG rumours, I’m not 100% convinced despite the gossip going around.

Callum Davidson wants a word. 😉

Its essentially a more expensive version of what we've just got rid of

Much as I'm underwhelmed, concerned even, by everything going on at the club currently, appointing Steven Gerrard as manager is hardly the act of lunatics. Assuming that Advocaat, Souness and McLeish are basically retired from club management then Gerrard's record in Scotland is better than any other manager who isn't a former Celtic manager. His departure from the club left a bad taste and his subsequent record is fairly ordinary. But then Walter Smith's time at Everton was mainly spent fighting relegation, Souness had some success but also failure as did McLeish. So success elsewhere is no guarantee of success here, and vice versa. I loved Stevie Davis as a player, my favourite player of the last 20 years, but I'd prefer an experienced number 2. I've no opinion on Henderson, he's playing for Ajax this season so clearly able to make a contribution on the park. If it's Gerrard, and i've no inside knowledge that it is, then he won't get the time he was given last time around. He won't get 3 seasons to build something, he'll get one if he's lucky. So I doubt there will be no 'building a system' or player development plans, it'll be about creating a side that can win the league next season. That will need experienced players, guys commanding bigger salaries and with very little future sell on value. Gerrard might be a better manager than last time, he's certainly more experienced. But the Tims aren't managed by Lennon this time, and whatever we might think of Rodgers he knows how to win the league.

The new manager is the most important appointment the club are going to make and the present board should have no say in the appointment without getting the okay from the new majority shareholders I know that the deal isn’t signed yet but no way this present board should be making the decision to appoint the new manager.

He shouldn't be because he is injury prone. Do we try and learn our lessons for once or do we keep repeating them?

Yes, that makes total sense. However, you still have a supposed 49% chunk of various shareholders who aren't selling their shares. Do the '49%' stand asíde and allow prospective owners to do what they want ? _____________ The reason I bring this up is the strong rumour of a Gerrard appointment. I could envisage the current board making that choice but I'm struggling to understand the prospective new owners thinking behind it.

The first of the European finals tonight can United end a dismal season with a cup or an Spurs take home a cup to put a shine on a poor season ,I hope Spurs win just so their manager gets the last laugh at reporters who’ve run him down all season he’s a decent man who deserves a bit of respect rather being labeled a clown by one reporter. mon the spurs

Wow! Give the other teams a chance!

I'm seeing a similar rumour constantly repeating on Twitter/X.... Manager - Stevie G Assistant - Steven Davis Player/coach - Jordan Henderson
