Gloucester Saint

In which case, if Still states his preferred formation is with 4 ATB and he uses 5 ATB on the Saturday, and there’s no interference, then he has to go at 5pm tonight. No excuses.

Where are the rumours about interference in formations and line ups coming from do you think?

Exactly this. He’s been poor but it’s hardly a secret that he’s a player for certain formations and not others.

Or pick a kid out of the family centre. Can’t be any worse than him.

Would take a good connection and accuracy from the technical area to be fair.

Because he’s crap and so is his attitude.

28 year old from Swiss second division it is then. No way Rasmus will appoint a stronger character who he can’t dominate and dictate to.

I do, they, Still and especially SR deserve every bit of abuse.

He’s not cut out to be a football manager if he is and deserves all the abuse he is getting. Any kind of spine tells Rasmus to stick to the spreadsheets whilst he does the football and gives the SR boardroom the middle finger.

Superb, good work folks. Hopefully even louder and clearer after PNE bundle in their second.

Southampton - the graveyard of ambition. Good job there’s direct trains to London Waterloo.

Pre-match line might liven them up a bit.

Hope there’s been constant hostile chants from the first minute aimed at Still and SR after that pathetic apology of a line up and formation. This is not the not the time for the fanbase to be compliant.

No sweat

He will respond to Soggy Im sure after he’s returned from taking the Snapdragon for a walk.

She shouldn’t have sold off the infrastructure, MacMillan warned her on that. If it can’t have competition, it’s not a market asset. Cost consumers dearly in the medium and long-term.

The only other thing to say about Thatcher and Blair is that they both made proper policies. Maggie because pre-internet and SM she could really take charge and Blair built a policy unit in No 10 where highly lauded policies such as Sure Start came from. It took a much longer term view and both industry and our public services benefitted from it. Cameron and Hilton, although Osborne and Cable warned him not to, abolished the Policy Unit and said ‘Maggie ran the show on a dozen staff’. They found out with a few months that the world was a lot more complex and difficult than the 1980s but too late by then. Would have avoided very costly disasters such as the Lansley Review in the NHD. Reform just don’t do this. I can’t stand Lowe but he 100% had a point.

Family friends worked for her as PM and said she was the best boss they ever had. Would join in with the washing up after state dinners and always asked after their families, bought them thank you presents and cards. Took it out on the politicians around her but treated her staff really well and won loyalty. Also worked cross party more than is recognised, Frank Field was her go-to on welfare policies. What I do remember is her reaction to disasters like Bradford. It was more than upset, it was anger. Like you, her policies were a mixed bag although a lot more pragmatic than given credit for. Wasted the North Sea oil revenues on a credit boom that turned into a very nasty and lengthy recession. Compare it to Norway’s Sovereign Fund. Huge advantage wasted. But she got us a very good deal with Europe and the rebate, and Single Market she was a driving force behind. Had to deal with the unions where Labour bottled Castle’s in Place of Strife Castle reforms. Gave a shit about the average person even if her policies didn’t always benefit them as much as they should have done. Farage as latter day Thatcher? He can fuck off with his dodgy Russian money and army of councillors who can’t outlast Ange P at Forest

Twice, and it was very difficult. Had to move some toxic people on and re-energise everyone remaining with a fresh sense of purpose. Where I wouldn’t compromise is interference from above or from disenchanted staff. They got us into the mess and the manager should be making 100% of the decisions to flip the culture. Don’t play 5 ATB if you say that’s not what you want. Pick a back 4 and set higher expectations. They are paid enough to do 250% better. And put trouble makers in the bomb squad, keep them away from the first team. However much SR might want to vainly recover the ‘investment’ in some of them. Loan the hopeless ones out, even if Dragan has to fund most of the wages, don’t put the likes of Downs on the bench to rescue Spors and don’t use Rasmus’s lame ducks to win favour from him. If you need a new keeper and #9 in January, say so in public. As always with SR, the squad is plenty big enough!

it already did with Flynn’s knee ligaments. Either that, or he has been in the kitchen again.

She was on the fringes of the ERG crowd as well. They need a new group who aren’t tarnished by 2016-22.

One of these days Wade, you will tell us what you really think 😂

If they go back to being a pro-business centre right party and throw the rest of the ERG into Reform, they have a chance to at least leapfrog Reform before the next GE https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly7l65xy23o
