Steve Bould is number 2!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

 

"He dropped one!"

[LDG]

Poor old Bouldy. No doubt he'll be the next scapegoat, two games in.

[Master Splinter]

Eboue .

[Coney]

Hope he has been working on his cone placing ability.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good news. Hopefully his primary role will be coaching the defence and hopefully nobody else will interfere. Would like to see some appointments re: fitness, training, conditioning and the medical staff. That's an area that kills us year after year. Would also like to see a new board. Too much, too soon?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Yeah slightly. . . !

Lets just hope he has a set and lets everyone know he has. . .good move IMO and although his influence may not be obvious, lets pray its has the right effect

[Olivier's xmas twist]

No problem with Bould could be a good move tbh.

[fakeyank]

Wouldve been happier if he replaced AW as the manager. Eh, dont want to be too greedy!

[DJ Philosophe]

It's a start...
