Has anyone seen the Action Man advert? They have ruined my childhood, scar face and eagle eyes dancing tops off to camp music! I’m destroyed and inside I’m crying! 🙈

I know Mike shocking! Mind you every year my Grandad used to give me an empty shoebox all wrapped for Christmas. always saying it was the Action Man deserter 😀 The old ones are the best !

They'll have him involved in a menage et trois with He-Man and Skeletor next ! ! ! (btw, did your dad let you play with dolls? ) ;)

They are classof92. Like the one for the girls, the best Barbie to buy was " Divorced Barbie" because you got Ken's house and car with it!

Still got my first action man from 1975. He has no fingers left, alopecia and clothes knitted by me mam!

{Ed001's Note - are you still talking about the action man?}

Whilst it is frustrating waiting to see if the great man wishes to join us, we probably have to accept it is down to us to beg steal and borrow that he comes. When was the last time we have been linked with such a high profile manager? And with regards to Orta I do not believe for one second our (hopefully) new head coach won’t have TOTAL assurances he has complete control across the whole of the football clubs infrastructure. Loving the report in around getting them back early, they can’t be tired after the sporadic efforts they put in for most of last season. I would be VERY surprised if our list of pre-season games remains unchanged under bielzebub though, more like they will be met by a LEEDS xl

i hope the guy is a god because it took less time to create the world.

11 Jun 2018 19:14:41
He probably is a god, The Egyptian god of chaos Seth, but it should be an eventful three months while he’s in the job !

Now I am not saying that Vydra would not be a good buy but are we not well stocked in the No 10 position?

11 Jun 2018 15:39:08
I believe he's a striker mate.

11 Jun 2018 16:04:13
His best position is number 10 role according to Rams fans.

11 Jun 2018 16:38:39
If he does come, maybe he'll play as a false 9?

11 Jun 2018 17:13:24
Let's be greedy, Abe at centre forward and Vydra at 10 :)

11 Jun 2018 11:04:05
I for one am growing concerned about the delay in anouncing a new manager. Hopefully he is just doing his due diligence on the playing staff and not haggling over the money side. If it is the cash then hopefully we should be sitting down with one if not two of the other candidates and just see how smooth their negotiations will go. After all we are taking a massive gamble hiring a name (who has not done much recently) for his innovative style, that many other managers are employing now anyway. If nothing else it may show Bielsa he is not the only fish in the pond.

11 Jun 2018 11:53:27
Leodis, I agree, if the man don’t want to come we don’t want the man, this should be D day for Radz, make your mind up, if he doesn’t sign today then look elsewhere,

11 Jun 2018 13:25:48
Not really fair on the bloke, would you want to go to a job where the working conditions mean that you’re expected to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat with one hand tied behind your back and in the case of Orta being there blindfolded too?

11 Jun 2018 16:07:45
Bootsy, do it every day mate and for a lot less money

11 Jun 2018 18:18:33
I agree totally with you Whiteman, we all do it as mere plebs. But if you won the lottery and didn’t have to take up such a role would you carrying on?

11 Jun 2018 18:22:01
Thought it was happening Monday? Obviously not this Monday then.

11 Jun 2018 18:49:36
FThink he’s reportable at a conference in Uruguay on a prior engagement until tomorrow, and I also think I read in some spurious rag that he was to make a decision 48 hours from yesterday. Just hope the news is worth waiting for as I see Bruce’s odds have shortened again

Guys, no need to rush a managerial appointment. We need to make sure we get the right appointment. Do we need 5 or 6 new players? If you have just answered yes to that question then I hope you were not one of the 'Get PH out' brigade as he had to work with what he had. All of this rushing around and wanting quick fixes is why we are stagnating and not moving forward. Let's wait and make sure we get the right manager and then let him get the right few targets in. The fact we are not signing players before the new manager arrives is positive in my eyes. just saying. MOT

11 Jun 2018 11:13:07
Totally agree Shutty on all aspects! As a few have said, this could be the most important appointment for years. We need to get it right!

11 Jun 2018 16:14:10
Shutt4, tell that to the new manger, he wants the squad back soon then they should be, talk about double standards, they can lose there time off, but his contract all about him, what about the players rights to time off, glad I don’t work for some of you bright sparks

11 Jun 2018 17:15:16
They already get more time off than I do, get them back early and beast them for a few weeks.

11 Jun 2018 17:26:13
Completely different arguments and perspective there whiteman. The players have a contract with the club and are employees. Bielsa hasn't signed a thing and answers to nobody ATM, he's reportedly happy with the financial package (which was your main point in a previous post) but wants to make sure he has what he needs to be successful which is completely fair. If he finally agrees what he needs is there and signs on the dotted line then he has every bit of a right to call them in early and get started with them. Quite confused as to why you'd be annoyed about that and think it's a bad thing? As shutt said, I think it's a good sign and I completely agree with what he said about stagnating and instant success!

11 Jun 2018 18:50:50
Absolutely, get them back ASAP, and make them bloody work for their ridiculous money, and the privilege of playing for this club. If it's true that this is one of Bielsa's demands, then I think it's fantastic. Shows he means business and wants as much time as possible to instill his tactics to the team, and educate them on what is required! My only exceptions would be Viera, who needs a few weeks, and obvs Pontus, given his WC commitments.

11 Jun 2018 21:14:49
All employees have rights, as we all do, just because he thinks it’s his right to short cut there holiday is not right, no matter how much they get paid, and I don’t see how that matters, anyway I an not annoyed about, but was replaying to a post. We all would like to have the money they get paid, they are on leave and should bit. He should come and start bringing in players we all know what’s needed and who needs to go. if he’s done his home work so will he.

11 Jun 2018 22:45:41
So you already dislike a proposed, potential, new manager, even tho he's not been appointed yet, based on media speculation, because he allegedly wants extra time with the players (only 7 days more) , to make sure they're up to speed with his ideas and style of play, which is all aimed, no doubt, at making the team more successful and effective from the start? For "workers rights"?

12 Jun 2018 17:53:02
Brightwhite, where did I say that
