Ever been to Merthyr or the Valleys for a night out or even closing time on a midweek afternoon ?

For whatever limitations in tactics and selection, I think the legacy is Semmens and those responsible for recruitment

Ditto Brentford after Ankersen

I know it’s a different world now with social media, but not even Branfoot pissed everyone off so quickly as this in his first season.

Joking aside the last thing we need is a backlog of fixtures. Although our interest in the League Cup will cease next week as well.

As opposed to just putting the shirt on and ambling about for 90 minutes ?

To his credit one person who didn’t shy away when things got bad or criticism was flying around was Rupert Lowe. Didn’t always agree with what came out, but at least he faced up to the press and fans. As I recall anyway

Les Reed School of Public Relations.

Tedesco might have been a good choice earlier in the season, but in our current position taking a manager with no EPL experience is another gamble. Also, you’d have to ask if he might be a manager to bring us back up again. Personally unless we can pull something spectacular off I think a caretaker to get us through until the end of the season ( perhaps Benitez, or Dyche, if they’d take it) with a review it at the end of the season deal might be as good as we can hope for.

Like, 11 of them ?

I’ve said previously that others (the chairman, the head of recruitment and Phil Giles, DoF) probably did the job at Brentford. Going on what we’ve seen here, Ankersen just talked about it, and got credit for others work.

Who was it we looked at and passed on to sign Lyanco instead ? Another great move by Semmens & Co.

Wolves, Newcastle, Fulham, tonight … I’ve probably missed some games, but Christ, we could be halfway up the table if he could take the chances that come his way

The word on my lips for the current management is charlatans. Unless I’m amongst close friends in which case I’d be more inclined to say ‘bunch of cunts’.

He will ultimately call the shots. At least I’m hoping so. Semmens, and Rasmus W. Ankersen should be out the door. And they can take Steele, the Commercial Director responsible for the kits, and the spastic who gave us the poncey wine bar and £22 burgers with them. Out of interest, anyone see who was in the Directors seats tonight ?

He does have a valid point. Although that doesn’t explain his tactics and selection though

Quite simply, NJ has to go. Feel sorry for him being so far out of his depth, the real culprits are those who gave him the job. Don’t think it will help his sanity staying much longer, especially if he couldn’t cope with the pressure at Stoke

Or Hoddle even …, (okay that might be a bit too far … ).

Christ on a bike... What utter headwank. People running the club are right off the fucking spectrum that's for sure. As a revolutionary idea, why not try building a solid first team who win some matches and raise their position and profile up the league ? Or is that too 20th Century for these cunts?

That word leapt off the screen at me, unfortunately Lusitania, like Titanic, does not inspire total confidence that all will end well.

Unless there is a recall option I’d assume it can only be cancelled if agreed by both clubs. If at our option, can we hand AMN back ?

Been going on for a while, and nothing to do with Nathan Jones. When did they poncify the Dell Club to become a wine bar, and put padded ‘executive seating’ in the Kingsland for example ?

I don’t think the issue is with Saints as much as with NJ from his Luton days. Forest supporter I spoke to after the appointment wasn’t keen on him, saying he was pretty ‘yappy’ on the sideline, and his Luton side weren’t good to watch, niggly, with plenty of ‘dark arts’ going on.

Wonder who was responsible for recruiting him.

Done brilliantly to survive Rasmus' departure without imploding so far.
