There won't be a single manager available who doesn't carry baggage from previous failures.

I'm sure he has a few regrets at ever being approached by the shysters at SR despite the pay off he'll receive. I hope he soon gets another manager job and is a great success. This succession of short term managers will no doubt ring alarm bells with others in the game and may put some of them off the prospect of working for SR because it has become a poison chalice under their watch.

With Dusty Bin as his assistant?

Agree but how many of us would pass up the money just to tell the truth?

But SR will not appoint someone like that because such a manager would also ruffle their feathers - the last thing they want.

Sure Will Still is gone but there's nothing to celebrate today, no reason to be hopeful. I say this because the lunatics are still firmly in charge of the asylum. Will Still is the latest manager who will be paid off and made to sign an NDA meaning the truth of what really goes on behind the scenes at this football club remain shrouded in mystery which is just how SR like it. Until they are gone it matters not a jot who they appoint as manager because the shit show will just carry on. A sad state of affairs that has gone on for way too long but is set to continue.

Of course they'd welcome him back - all mates together and as many days off training as they want. What's not to like. Not sure the majority of the fan base would be too happy though.

Pity the next poor sod who has to try to get a tune out of our squad of failures and bottle jobs. Most of them need to take a long look in the mirror.

Trollope and Lallana should be gone as well - clean sweep needed with no remnants of coaches who have clearly failed as much as Will Still. He shouldn't be the scapegoat when others were also culpable.

Would be typical SR.

Trollope who assisted the guy they've just sacked. You really couldn't make it up.

Yeah, whilst those doing the hiring and the firing are still here and taking absolutely no responsibility we just sit back and await the next disaster. Can't help feeling a little bit sorry for Will Still and the next cannon fodder who takes his place. SR should go as well but we know that can't and won't happen now but it is inevitable that they'll have to go eventually unless we want no football club to support.

Nah, just Rasmus thinking he's clever when he most certainly isn't.

You could add well informed, intelligent, shrewd, clever, smart, astute and self aware to the traits not associated with them plus many more.

To be fair it's a dressing room well worth losing. Weak as piss with zero fight or pride in what they are doing.

Spors maybe not so much but SR have been a failure since pretty much day one so whether they admit it to themselves or not they have been catastrophic for us.

Also a fan of Steve Moran. The minute he appeared at the Dell as a youngster you could tell he had something about him and was destined to become a great striker for us. You can always tell straight away with young players such as Channon, Williams and Le Tiss. It's been a while since a youngster last made his debut for us and gave the vibe that he was someone special. Dibling didn't do it and is still trying to kick start things at Everton but I have doubts about him.

It's the new Moneyball.

Unless you have two decent wing backs who understand the role and have the speed and stamina required to play the position it's always going to mean a lot of pointless side and back passes. Reason being the two wing backs become standard full backs alongside 3 centre backs. This dilutes the team's ability to get the ball forward in numbers at speed so we get this continual walking football and negative passing. That's down to Still because he is the one who continues to persist with 3 centre backs. This system also negates our ability to press high up the pitch and win turn overs in advanced positions. You simply can't operate a press if most of the side are constantly playing in their own half.

I'm not only talking about height - the players you list are all fairly weak in upper body strength and easily knocked off the ball. Come on, you can't seriously call Downs a physical player. He may be 6'4 but that doesn't matter because he has zero physical power. Just watched Liverpool Villa and there were real big, strong athletes in both teams all over the pitch not just at centre back. We must start to address this or we'll continue not to compete.

SR deserve to lose a generation of supporters and more and that's what they'll do unless something is done to remove them from our club. Even seasoned fans have had enough so why would anyone expect youngsters to follow this shit show of a football club. There is absolutely nothing to like about the club right now and the future looks bleak with these idiots in charge.

This is a major issue that continues to be overlooked.

What I cannot believe is the fact that Spors saw enough to decide that he'd be a good signing for us and that we paid any money for him.

We'll never rebuild successfully under SR.
