Michael Henke is 65 years old, so it isn't really much of a long term succession plan. More likely to be retiring soon rather than an up and coming talent being groomed to take over.

Broja and Livramento didn't need senior English experience to be very effective. Why do we need a 15 goal striker? Only 5 teams had a 15 goal player in the PL this season! Why do we need 'two horrible midfielders'?

Why does Sam Wallace think the owners of a company with hundreds of employees need to be present to let someone go? That does not happen in many other industries. If the Telegraph sacked Sam Wallace, would he expect that a meeting with the owners of the paper would take place? 🤔

Idiot

That isn't true.

Why are you using a comparison with playing a centre back out of position?

He is contracted for 2 more years until 2024.

1) Ralph picks them 2) The club picks them There is a third option... 3) Ralph is on a panel along with others picking them Number 3 makes the most sense.

Pretty much this...

That isn't a given. It would be surprising if he didn't have a big input into who is appointed as replacements.

I think we should wait and see who is appointed as replacements before deciding that. Maybe he'll have a better sounding board with any new coaching team.

Kelvin leaving the club doesn't automatically mean his son needs to as well.

A positive sign Sport Republic look to identify potential problems and hopefully resolve them quickly!

We don't know what the spending capacity is under the new owners.

Harry Lewis was a 25 year old 4th choice keeper. He wasn't occupying a spot that requires replacing.

Toad

Only 11 of them were non loan signings. So under half the current squad is 'his'.

Fish & chips originated in the 15th century seafaring nation of Portugal! Plus in any case... where is the 'hissy about celebrating'. I've not said people shouldn't celebrate it.

Ask Sue Gray to investigate whether it is drinks on the decking or a working lunch! Maybe I'll be surprised by cake!

Not at my place of work I won't. Plus, certainly not in my usual hours. I'll be on my laptop here with some alcohol...
