Breaking: Omer Riza flies to Malaysia to meet Vincent Tan

Is anyone really suprised?? A glut of managers available who are all better than Riz (in my opinion) this is a bad move and we'll be looking for a replacement come christmas.

I Would have had these talks and set targets to Xmas - then made the call .

We have emotion tied up and a couple of hundred quid for our season tickets or match day tickets, Tan has tens of millions. Relegation is massive for him, I'll still go next season if we got relegated, of course, i wouldn't be happy but that's life.

Tan had been stung by experienced managers more than rookies. The problem is he hasn't found his rough diamond yet.

I also feel we are slowly following the structure of most clubs with the recruitment being independent of the manager/head coach, where they agree we need a mobile center forward and they go and try to find and recruit one. Not sure is old-schoolers would go for that, but even guys in their 50's are probably used to that.

I am fine with Riza he just needs an experienced assistant and another coach who has the same beliefs as him

Maybe Dave Jones is on the Plane to Malaysia too

And the tea lady or even the famous painter!

They are still waiting to hear

Does anyone see the possibility as Omer Riza as Manager and Dave Jones as Director of Football?

I’m all for a DoF but unsure on DJ as he’s been out of game for a long time,but who knows.

Whenever people meet Dalman and Choo, they tell them that Tan doesn't think a DoF/Sporting Director is worth it.

Unless he's suddenly changed his mind, and I hope he has, can't see this happening.

I am not necessarily in favour of Dave Jones, simply because he has been out of the game for so long, but I think VT likes the "cheap option" of Omer Riza and he also liked Dave Jones.

Whilst VT doesnt like the option of a DoF it could be the case that he appts Dave Jones in that type of role to replaced Omer Riza if and when things dont pan out.

Paul Pogba is a free agent in January

Tan won’t be taking Riza out for a coffee. Many of his Starbucks stores are having to close due to continuing anti US sentiment.

He needn’t worry; Trump will have it all sorted ‘the next day’ once he takes office…!

I’m sure he will know where he stands if he has spoken with Tan - ultimately it’s not imperative that we as fans know before the game, but it is imperative that the players and Riza know.
