danny murphy has just gone down in my estimations

[God The Mechanic]

I'm still baffled as to what the 5 man committee actually discussed as the job was then given to the incumbent caretaker manager!  I don't think any of us actually wanted Kit on a full time basis.  What we all definitely wanted was mad Magath out as a matter of urgency.  I was more than happy for Kit to step in as caretaker but that is what he should have remained and then been replaced when we found someone suitable.

Six pages of pretty much unrelenting support for the decision.

just come out and said that neil lennon was his candidate when he was on our 5 man panel.

Ben, where did this coming out occur mate? Do you have a link to the story please? Cheers.

Chill out Ben! Save your energy for Saturday. I would't have been happy with Lennon either but it wont change my estimations of Murphy. Murphy didn't force Khan to let him have the final say, he was asked for his advice because of what he means and achieved for the club as a player.

Rightly or wrongly football will always be about opinions and I dont think Murphy chose Lennon to deliberately make Fulham fail. Im sure he genuinely felt he was best just like you think someone else is best.

Chin up! At least we still have Kit........

saturday?

[fulhamben]

ive just looked up where we are going, are you putting us up in a hotel on saturday as in it sooo far, for proper preparation ;)

[Texas White]

Perhaps this is why kit hasn't asked Danny to help him. I would have preferred lennon over kit as well as mentioned has experience and a bit of tactical sense let's hope if kit screws it up someone like decent creditinals is available

really? the majority of us at the time wanted kit, cant imagine too many saying actually lets get lennon instead. are you sure there is not a tiny bit of hindsight involved in your answer

Absolutely ....

Quite honestly they obviously got paid on he panel and it would have been pretty short sighted if they had all said Kit. I guess they all put names in the frame and voted on them after discussion. Murphy must have had other reasons other than he's a mate! He neither goes up or down in my estimation. He was a very good and intelligent footballer and he talks a lot of sense as a broadcaster and pundit

I didn't realize that awful American expression  "My Bad" had found it's way to British shores.
It makes me cringe over here every time I hear it

:plus one:

[MartyFFC]

Strange; he's just gone up in my estimations.

[Wimbledon_White]

At least you've got something new to moan about Ben.

[Bronaldinho]

Where did he say that? Be interested to have a read at the quote.

Lennon was my first choice in all honesty, he done a terrific job at Celtic and he's got Bolton playing some decent despite having a very poor squad. His summer building on a low budget will probe he's got what it takes to be a top manager.

No nonsense and has done well, wouldn't say no to Lennon at all. Top bloke.

yep, been a long time since ive seen parker and kit in action, so this keeps me fresh

Great ex players are perfect until they start opening their mouth :54:

Or start managing in Shearer's case.

Thanks Ben.

I have to wonder though, was Smurph on there ONLY to talk about Kit, or was it just one and not the main area of discussion, ergo, the reason for his 'appearence'?

Hes a regular on TS, does breakfast show and also mid morning one with dickhead Colin Murray

[SouthfieldWhite]

And the biggest moaner award goes to.........

I can't stand Lennon and dint want him anywhere near Fulham, but Danny was paid to give his options on a potential new manager, which he did.

I havnt heard talksport so don't know what he actually said.

Danny was at a recent youth tournament I was at, he spent most of the day signing autographs or having his picture taken when all he was there for was to watch his mate boy play.


I wanted kit as full time manager and still do.

People need to give him a chance with HIS signings and HIS team
