I have a vague feeling that Manwell is going to play three at the back.

Moyes made a comment just before he left where he said, "I was told we couldn't play with a back 4...." - by whom?

Just a gut thing.

Got a feeling he might walk before the first game of the season.

If we get to that point, I think it'll have to be, 'Mr Pardew or Mr Redknapp'. :wink:

Anyone know what he's like at developing youth players? Is he the type of manager who effectively closes the door? Or are we likely to see someone like Holland or even Samuelsen (given his Manchester City past) around the fringes of the squad?

Either Gold & Sullivan are more stupid than I ever thought or Sully believes he can rein in Pelle, whatever he wants to do.

Has any other backroom staff been confirmed other than a director of football?

I've assumed that he's bringing in his usual assistant manager that follows him everywhere, but has anything been said about coaching staff? I assume we'd have a new head coach and new goalkeeper coach at least...

I have a feeling he wont be here that long as our board will make it very hard for him
