Very tricky opener. The world will be wanting to wank off to the Wrexham story. Yeeuch. Will be lucky to win this I think unless we actually start recruiting some decent players and offloading some tripe. (Still not convinced the manager is the right choice, just so you know - just a hunch about experience, lack of)

Probably because he didn't ruin Brentford but got lucky with his recruitment of Thomas Frank and then lived off that with us across a series of 'clever-clever 'I'm so ace I am rewiring football' appointments that made us a complete laughing stock and which will take years to unravel. Can't quite believe he's still with us.

Cracking transfer window that. We are going to smash the league.

Quite a sensible insurance policy if you ask me. As it may turn out.

Oh dear. Not that again. Can we do some shots and goals next season? Bit bored of the endless passing

Good luck Russ. Great job with major upsides. Please sign McCarthy.

Set to be appointed at Rangers, says Talksport. Will do well there. Big job for him. Which way now for Leicester?

Because they will pretend they unearthed him, as they did Gareth Bale

Well that is true. I suppose for me Arsenal aren't too bad (?) but Chelsea are pretty loathsome (and crooked), Liverpool over-sentimental divs who are up in arms when Real Madrid do what they did to us (broadly) over Van Dyke and countless others, and Man City just corrupt Lawyer-funders, fending off 100,000 court cases. Spurs are laughable and deluded, indignant about their supposed golden era that never was, and with only one song. Ours. So yes.

Please not Spurs. Few rumours flying around. Anywhere but there. Hope he stays!

Perraud comes on for Betis and they concede 4. Sounds familiar.

Quite possibly the best post on this forum ever

Another experiment begins. Disappointing.

It’s not too late to get a manager with (check notes) experience of the Championship rather than yet another appointment that makes the appointees into some kind of genius if it comes off. Not that any of the ‘clever clever’ left field reinventing football ones have. Talking about a video on Monday Night Football isn’t enough for me. We’ll see how the players take to him - they’re so confused by all these systems. Should have gone old school.

Russell Martin on Rangers shortlist. Ancelotti and Gerrard too though
