It would do a lot of them a world of good if they went on MNF and got shown, with no prior knowledge, half a dozen of their own teams conceding across the season. At the end of the first one, they're asked how they would change it. Only to be faced with another clip from a month later, with the same error. You'd soon have them turning on the players as not being good enough for "their" system. But it's far too cosy for such home truths.

Crock Pot: The Crock that Cooks. Meet their Spokesperson...

Cameras on Nathan at the end. Going ballistic over everything, barely coherent, on his knees praying before the whistle and then doing a Ralph. It clearly means so much to him, but it can't be good for his wellbeing.

Great to see the Coat of Trust back, ahead of the summer. No doubt there will be lots of hangers on, as usual.

I'd love to see a Dyche & Ankerson chat. 🙂

A sequel to him not understanding Director of Football a while back.

I thought Martin would have taken all the signs with him.

Perhaps their manager will have a Russ moment after the whistle, and offer him a contract on the pitch like he seemed to for McCarthy. 🙂

If you get booked for just taking the shirt off, what kind of ban is that going to get him?

Syndrome

Clear out the popular sizes at a higher price, then launch a "Further Amazing Discounts" for whatever's left in 10 days? Only 2xL left now in the men's home shirt. They'll track that, and when interest tails off reduce it, I guess. They won't be doing a "Prices as low as our points total!" sale, as they'd make too much of a loss. 🙂

No one was in at the training ground, so the delivery driver chucked him over the fence and broke him. 🙂

If Xerox would sponsor us, we could certainly supply the Rank.

Just noticed the poll was still open and that I never did vote. Let me see...what to pick...🙂

"All these footballs blasting into our goal, reminds me of the blitz. And did we fall apart then? We did not!"

Very possibly happens at the switchover. At the moment we become a Championship club, and can nip off to nab our new manager. 🙂

I can't say much about the quality, as I've pretty much watched our games. However, it has been good to see Forest and Villa push for CL places. Both have significant investment. At the same time, Man Utd, Tottenham falling away gives hope that within the 17, there can be gradual shifts. A few seasons without CL money will start to make a difference. Yes, it does look harder to come up and stay up. However, SR's approach hobbled us, Leicester imploded from within, and it was Ipswich's second promotion in a row. Hopefully, more stable clubs can make a better go of it in seasons to come.

I've moved on, really...

So, hypothetically, SR would have no involvement in any of the decision making? 🙂 Well...

Oh c'mon. What could a vastly experienced PL manager and the manager of one of Europe's biggest clubs possibly have to teach SR and their hipster picks?

SR history would suggest that we break the spending rules by burning through another 3 managers & staff, and bringing in another 30 non PL capable players. On that basis, no. 🙂

MLG is one of those people who manages to be wrong and look stupid, whether he's committing to an opinion or not. I was rather hoping we were having a break from it, after the recent nonsense. Still came across very well. Good communication, presentation and depth. He's very aware of the message he's getting across and the presentation reinforces their training. None of it's there for show, or to needlessly complicate. But that's not as important as transferring that into results. So another plus, for me, is that he's now had multiple seasons in a top 5 league. That's with a plus of it being with 2 clubs, which is another checklist tick. My preference is to have someone who can help shape the club, to challenge Spors and SR, and to drive us to PL sustainability. For me, that's not yet Still. Even if we do look back at his glittering career later on and know we missed out a bit. It's a bit about the here and now needs to reshape things across the board. That said, the moment whoever gets announced gets full support.

Good grief. Last second drama there.
