Hi ed2,

Hope you’ve had a good Xmas. Wondered if you had any insight into targets for Pellegrini replacement please?

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - It will be David Moyes I would think - but I understand that Rafa Benitez was the clear first choice.}

It don't matter who is new manager our club had the soul ripped away from us by dgs and until they go nothing will change . If its moyes i'm done. Our club died when the boleyn died.

You need to get over the Boleyn, ground could not be upgraded and was knackered!
Fantastic atmosphere but we still regularly got beat there and relegated, Moyes did a job for us last time and installed discipline which is what we need now!
Pellegrini was there for £££, team is unfit and I would love to of seen training sessions if there were any.

Thanks Ed2,

To be clear, did Benitez turn down an approach or is he just not available at this time?

{Ed002's Note - He is not available.}

Who wants to live in the same place for 60 years? We have to move on👍.

It’s Moyes and Stuart and Pearce, I ain’t unhappy, COYI, at least they’re in touch with the Premiership hopefully⚒⚒COYI.

Moyes will be a safe pair of hands who will get discipline back, obviously something Antonio requires. Papers saying Girond is his target for January, which will help Lanzini, Anderson, Antonio due to his hold up play, plus he’ll be better than Haller.

Let’s face it, you know the players will have to put 100% in training especially with Pearce there, he’s not going to be messed about by babies!
He should demonstrate a few challenges himself on the players so they know what he’s expecting!
Now is the time to start bringing a couple of youth players in, Noble, and snodgrass haven’t got the legs anymore, as for Yarmolenko I would try and give him away as cannot see any takers for him, hope I’m proved wrong but IMO he is a luxury 10 min player who we do not need in team or the club. COYI.

Haller is a simple one to improve, play 2 or 3 upfront!

His goals have come when being supported up top, one striker against 4 defenders is not going to result in goals and also knock confidence.
Sign Giroud who can hold the ball and bring Anderson or Antonio into the attack and he will score goals!

Our biggest concern is a box to box midfielder, noble and snodgrass not upto that so bring one in to let rice move forward!
Central defence is another we are desperately short, we needed a Cahill in summer when he was available, would of been perfect to play alongside Diop so he could learn, I would try Reid for next few games as he was good in his time and others could still learn from him. Diop needs discipline and learn not to dive into tackles or move out of position and leave us short.
My team:
Fabianski
Diop, Reid, Ogbonna
Masuaku, rice, Anderson, Lanzini, Fredericks
Antonio, haller.

Bonzo. I read in this site dozens of times that our owners DGS are parasites and never out their hands into their pockets. The last two seasons have proved this criticism untrue. How soon we forget that our club was on the brink of absolute disaster under the ownership of the Icelandic’s and DGS saved our club. We are lucky to have a club at all. I’m firmly behind DGS and also the move to the London stadium which will help put our club on firmer ground. 35,000 people doesn’t cut it I’m afraid and the fact that we are now getting 20,000 more has and will continue to help us finance better players. The truth is, some people are more happy whinging than supporting. Simple as that.
