We have lost our two best players from last season , and Slaven still has no backroom staff.
Not Bashing Julain , you cant blame him for taking the position , but outside of being a fans favorite , what was the thinking in his appointment ?
Slaven needs a number 2, someone who has been through it with him, and understand and can implement his ideas.

Unrelated , but ust as critical , song and downing have not been replaced , two big players for us last term , I really think we need three first team players of equal qualirty for us to be competitve this season , as we are well short at the moment .

Howver unless Slaven gets the right team around him , quickly , its going to bea real tough job for him.

Im sure nonody knows this more than the manager , so hes got a week before the end of the window , to bring players in , getting them bedded in , and tacitally get us back on track , essentially all on his own.

the amount of people giving us their insights, with level of ignorance they have, never ceases to amaze me.

There's a reason Dicks was taking care of our Ladies team last season...

Probably the best Football job he could get..

Bizarre appointment, But what do we know

The fans didn't appoint him, did they?

Dicks was a fans' appointment, nothing more, nothing less. He has the brains of an ant and offers nothing at all. Sentimental bollocks hiring him.

downing had about 2 mins contribution per game after dec.

The day Bilic hired DICKS was the day I started to doubt my initial IQ estimate.

I understand Bilic wants a MATE, but I reckon DICKS hangdog aura and sub-80 IQ is stinking the place out.

Di Canio as number 2?

Sir Alf 12:38 Mon Aug 24
Re: We have lost our two best players from last season , and Slaven still has no backroom staff.
Dicks was a cracking player in the pre-Sky era when you were allowed to make challenges and he had a magical left foot.

But as a manager and in terms of intelligence, he has been an abject failure at non-legue level and is not the sharpest tool in the box as they say (based on meeting him in Billericay a few years back).

Downing was very effective from the middle but got lost out on the wing. I'd much prefer Payet than him in the central position. Therefore, it was the correct decision to get rid and cash in on an aging bottle job.

You do know Bilic actually does have his own back room staff or are Edin Terzic, Chris Woods & Miljenko Rak made up people?

Others have slaughtered you about the players already.

Re: We have lost our two best players from last season , and Slaven still has no backroom staff.
Payet is three times better than Downing. So I make that 3 replacements in one.

Song leaving has been replaced by not having to play Song every week just because of his "pedigree" Noble and Kouyate can now play together.

So all in all, that's 4 times better than last year.

Plus we don't have Sam Allardyce as manager so everybody is happy regardless, right?

Agree. People forget how ineffective Downing was when played out wide last season, not the player we need right now.

Downing was a MYTH for the 2nd half of the season.

Well rid.
