Well apparently Gerrard won't accept working under Thelwell control and Thelwell won't give Gerrard the powers he's asking for, so something has to give here.
Hopefully the owners don't allow Thelwell to interview Gerrard and cause a riot and that's it done.
Sack Thelwell and appoint Koppen. Gerrard as manager. Find a replacement for Stewart and fix that next.

Would love to have koppen back stevie. His work was only just starting n we were seeing the fruits plus we were eventually stepping away from the useless English lower league markets. Cany see it but one can hope.

Would have liked to see koppen get the budget in the summer stevie, him and phil were royally shafted.

I would prefer M Rose or K Muscat.
Nevertheless if it is S Gerrard then the departure of K Thelwell would be a big bonus, return of N Kopppen would also be good as I thought his targets and outlook seemed to be good and with better financial backing I believe he would do well (much better than Thelwell Jnr) .
As a result although not my favourite option, I can see benefits if the departure of Thelwell is linked (which is a big if) . Davie Weir would be great.

I'm all for Gerrard, but they won't sack thelwell and replace him with koppen, that would mean yet another change to the football philosophy.

We've changed our model twice in a year, I don't see why we should rip it up for Gerrard who wasn't that much of a success. I'm all for getting rid of Thelwell and Stewart but not to give Gerrard control, he demanded Kent be signed for 7 million and he wasn't worth it and signed countless other duds too like Scott Wright.

Koppen doesn't do thelwell job.
08 Oct 2025 12:12:50
Agree Thelwell and Stewart have to go.
08 Oct 2025 12:55:55
Stevie, maybe Thelwell replaced with Weir, Purdy replaced with Koppen.
08 Oct 2025 13:16:47
Agreed Baxter.

Not a fan of Scott Wright, but people keeping wanting players bought from other clubs then complaining about them when they do. The guy won us a Scottish Cup so that was a bit of payback and we got back pretty much what we spent on him.
There are ups and downs in all transfers, maybe we did over pay for Kent but Gerrard also brought in Bassey, Aribo, Kamara and Sakala which is over £35 million earned in sales .

Easy fix Stevie G. - Thelwell is aching for the sack anyway. Get him out.
