Glasner is a step up from VP and no one can deny this. Maybe the first manager that has come to the club who is coveted by rivals. Some stellar signings will be forthcoming. I expect will come with his appt. VP fulfilled his job description but patently was a stop gap.

It was always to be Silva or Glasner. I am surprised he came to us as we normally don’t attract such managers. This is a new start and Glasner at the helm will be the lever for new players with ambition to come. Whereas VP was not.

I suspect that this has been in the works for a while now, hence the lack of signings. It's still a bit of a shock, though, and VP deserved another season. But top quality managers are in short supply, and Glasner is one of them, so I think Mr M has done the right thing for the club.

If our players don't get on board with him, then it's the door. I'm sure there will be plenty who can and will work with our new manager. But Mr M will expect Europa League as a minimum in return. Looking forward to the future.

I deny it, Nono, that Glasner is a step up from VP. VP has won more trophies than OG. Check it out, mate.
Glasner has only come to us as a stop gap because he couldn't get the "big" jobs at Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea imo.
Combined with the fact that our Glorious Leader hasn't learnt his lesson about achieving stability, and he couldn't stop his little pudgy fingers from dabbling again...


Disgraceful, and the way it was done by email shows he hasn't learnt any lessons about class and respect either.

Glasner has won two European trophies, Stokey, and been a manager ten years less than Vitor. Vitor has won nothing since the Chinese double in 2018.
I liked Vitor, you liked Dyche, God knows why, but they are gone, and at least we start a season with a coach in charge before a preseason and with the transfer window open.


It's no use moaning about Marinakis, he owns the club and so far has done alright for me.
No way would we be playing Premier football under Doughty or Fawaz.
Agree with Larry, two tier posting from you.

Spot on, dtp. How the hell could anyone claim Dyche was a good manager. We now have a class manager with a great record & is a massive upgrade. Plus, as you say, we start the pre season with a manager for a change. No chance of a repeat of last year's woes with Oliver at the helm. ?

Difficult to know where to start with the last two posts. Dtp, the only thing I can agree with is that you're right about the timing allowing OG a pre season and a transfer window.
You are in error about Dyche and Vitor. I liked both, as I've said on here repeatedly. Both contributed to our survival in the Prem after the chaos of Nuno and Ange this season.
If Mr M "has done alright by me" that implies that you are happy with a good old survival struggle in 3 out of the past 4 seasons?
Leaving aside the laughing stock he's made of our club.


As for the European trophies, Glasner won the Conference. I reckon I could have won that with Bulwell Town, mate.
Europa, fair enough in 2021. VP got us to a semi with a crock full of injuries to key players, and at the tail end of a chaotic season. Who knows? It is only as speculative as you saying we would never have got to the Prem under Fawaz and Doughty. The big Greek got lucky in appointing an excellent manager in SC after about 5 or 6 failures. Every dog has his day.

"No chance of a repeat of last year's woes with Oliver at the helm"? Let's see, shall we?
I hope you are right, Larry. It would be a first, certainly, mate. ???

Well, it was me who broke the Glasner news even before Ramario Stokie, so it will be the second time, bud. ??

Bigging yourself up again, Larry. It was on the BBC about 3 hours before you posted. You really are desperate for attention, aren't you?

Tbh Stokey, your jokes on here are on the internet months before. ????
