No it just proves managers can sometimes be a good fit at some clubs and not at others.
If we'd appointed him we'd be accused of doing it on the cheap when he was first their manager.

You mean Joy isn't a billionaire?

But again knowing he'd be a good fit come's down to their acumen. Also Eddie Howe's acumen. Didn't he leave what would have been considered a better job at the time because he knew Bournemouth would be a "better fit" for him?
And then you're back to supposition.

60 teams so we have a better chance of getting there again?
Better make that 80 teams.

He said there were personal reasons for leaving Burnley and his league position was worsening from the previous season.
So you'd agree taking a manager back to a club if he had a 50% win ratio with that club even if he didn't when he left is a sensible strategy?

The fit has to work two ways. The owners have to be right as well as the manager. It also probably helps to get a 50% win ratio if you inherited the bulk of a team that was playing in the championship just the season before. Owners who's focus is on the team with the ambition to move up the leagues, the acumen to make that happen and the pockets deep enough to achieve it or a team made up of championship players in league one are two luxuries Robins won't have if he returned at this moment in time. The only way he'd get a 50% win ratio at the moment is if he stayed for two games, won one and then lost one before leaving.

I very much doubt Joy Seppala (sp?) is a billionaire...what's your point?

Don't go getting touchy. I was asking a question. That's the opposite of making a point.

Not sure it is. But oh well. What are you getting at? (might be less confusing for you)

Nick said we need Billionaire owners. I asked if Joy was a billionaire (in a roundabout way). Although technically Joy isn't our owner I suppose, her investors are. What are the chances of one of them being a billionaire?

Oh good. You've torn your own point apart so i dont have to
I think it is possible, but unlikely.
Popular thinking is it can't happen with the current owners, but I am more inclined to think it can't happen with the current manager.
What we need is a sustained positive momentum like we had till TM started to make whole sale changes to the line up every match.
We had a slim squad going into the season - and a very young squad. The lineup hardly changed - it only changed for the cup matches which we duly all lost. Apart from those cup matches the team had momentum.
Now we have a big and a not so young squad and all positive momentum is lost.

Again. It wasn't a point. It was a question to a point someone else made. Stop being so touchy about the mention of Joy.

The longer they invest with Joy the less chance they have of being a billionaire.

Oh right. Does the fund not make any money for investors then?

Under the current owners we have more chance of ending up in L2.

No chance I would say, CA is being paid to get the club ready for sale (imo) and sisu rats will leave the ship probably with another type of clever ex footballer led sindicate

Not in the next 10 years. Maybe in the next 20 years, definitely in the next 50 years. You'll need to be pretty young today to witness it.
