Selles will be gone by November

[Willglynning]

30 years ago Real Zaragoza beat Arsenal to win the Cup Winners Cup with the greatest winning goal in the history of European football, but they've been in the doldrums now for over 10 years

They're in the middle of a hugely expensive stadium remodelling project and were lucky to avoid relegation last season.

Let's just say that he's walked into a very difficult situation and nobody wants him there. With due deference to Roy here is the view from Zaragoza. I was looking for some positive comment but as yet I haven't found anything. There's 10 pages on their forum like this...

Sellés isn't to blame for the fools above hiring him for such a difficult situation.

A paid holiday in Zaragoza for one or two months

Zaragoza RIP...how irresponsible, I wish I could shut up, but I think with this decision the club has just signed its own death warrant

As long as he doesn't come up with anything strange, and puts round pegs in round holes, adapting the system to what's usable, I'll be happy.

How many do you think said "no" until they got to Sellés?

Incredible that in our critical situation, someone like that would be chosen.

Best of luck.. Someone I don't know deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I'm pretty worried. I don't know if this guy really knows what he's getting into.

They're bringing in a man we all know isn't going to work.

After 45 years of following (this club) to the death, I don't even know how I feel... but who the hell comes up with bringing this man in... it's like buying a lottery ticket and praying.

What kind of morality, and morals, does a character like this have to show up here, and on top of that, get paid? I mean, given this "coach's" record, any of us could coach Zaragoza

The club's message is clear: we've brought in a gravedigger.

I shit on my fucking skull.

Cheers Roy

Absolute golden thread of delusion and holier than thou, is this one. Some utter (t)ripe comments in here.

The lad was fucking useless and it was evident in the pre season games. That’s not hindsight, that’s observation. Slav was fucking useless too. It’s nothing to do with “being backed” or “the board didn’t back him”.
Hecky got a tune that almost got us promoted after clearing the sludge and detritus from Jokecanoffish.
SeLLLLLLLes was as useful a manager / head coach as Grbic was between the sticks.
He stank the place out.

Absolutely nothing, zero, anything to do with being forrin - all to do with being totally unsuited (and crap)

 

[Kenilworth]

Be interesting to see if he can do anything there, though I suspect his man management skills aren't up to it.

I wonder who 'recommended' him to us? was it that all knowing Mr AI or the same person that recommended Grbic.

More to the point I'd like to know if Souza or Anel left partly as a result of him replacing Wilder.

I suspect they were off, regardless. They wanted more than the championship.
Having said that, it’s interesting to note that neither of them moved to the Prem.

If we had kept Wilder on..... I imagine the sanctioning of "AI players" was a sticking point, so you do wonder if any of them would have been sourced and signed. Also with Wilder being a big personality and has ability to throw his weight around it would have been interesting to see if Souza, Moore and Anel would have been sold or if it would have convinced the board to keep them. I doubt we would have signed Mee and Ings and probably still have Robbo. It would have been interesting to see his permanent signings list and loans list as the loans have mostly flopped and have been a Selles list especially Bindon and Barry

 

[Champagneblade]

Even though he mest up our season he did us one favour. All the minority of squeaky wheel moaners about Wilder have gone remarkably quiet and may be realised ... be careful what you wish for!

To be fair to him, he did get rid of Robbo.

We’ve ended up with Ben Mee, who, despite being 35, is a far better player.

I quite fancy a centre half to score tonight. I think Mee, Tanganga and McGuinness all have potential to get on the scoresheet and have had sighters recently.

This aged like milk...

Do they say things get better with age?

Try telling that to my banana..........

Same bloke who recommended we pay £4m for Matos!

Hopefully that will take him and his staff off the payroll.

I've always wondered about how that works...
