That’s a good call, I’d forgotten about him. Got the Chris Wilder sort of vibe, bit hit and miss in his last couple of jobs, but good solid championship level manager.

Absolutely right. This is a tough unforgiving league & you need to impose yourself at the club from day one, particularly if you’re in charge of a relegated team. You need to be a big personality and force your will on the club. Whilst Lego was too rigid in his playing style, there was no doubt he was running the first team from top to bottom and nobody was left in any doubt he was the boss. This bloke seems like a PE teacher, or the cones & bibs man, like a little boy lost. I think it’s called imposter syndrome. You mentioned Laurie, and whilst times are different & a relegation would now mean the sack. Despite a dreadful start, he never ever gave off the same vibe Still is. Never showed any self doubt or muddled thinking. He was absolutely sure he was the right man and made sure everybody else did to. If he had any misgivings or self doubt, he masked it from everyone. Same with Pardew & Lego, they inherited from a poor season, but they didn’t look confused or weak. This jobs too big for Still and he knows it….

Sounded like a petulant teenager that had his play station taken off him in that interview. Fucking baby. And Blackmore soft soaping him with “recruitment” pony. I’d have asked him why he doesn’t play his “favourite formation”, why good championship players we’ve signed are fucking shite under him, why hasn’t he played Aribo, does he think he’s lost the dressing room, is he under performing, and finally, why does he keep getting out thought by other managers…

She said yesterday she was unaware she needed one. Now the line is she knew, but thought someone else was getting it. If she thought someone else was getting it, who did she think paid for it because I presume she didn’t pay the £1,000.

😂 The usual suspects defending the new broom again. Amazing how many “mistakes” these chumps make that only come to light after the media start asking questions, and how they all benefit themselves. Maybe the next “mistake”, will end up costing a minister money 😂😂

She didn’t know about it 😂😂😂

People who put their kids lives at risk, should have them taken into care. The snap dragon deals with this weekly, unfit mothers having babies taken into care as soon as they’ve given birth , sometimes for the 4th or 5th time. Affordability plays no part in it, if the children are at risk, they’re placed in care. Anyone who puts their kids into a small boat to try and make a dangerous sea crossing is an unfit parent. If they want to stay together as a family, stay in France. One thing for sure, if Boris Johnson took one of his kids fishing in a leaky old boat out into the middle of one of the worlds busiest shipping lanes , you’d be the first one calling for them to be taken off him.

Obviously. If they want to stay together, stay in France

Update on the new broom. This time it’s Reeves making a “mistake”. 😂😂😂.

If you leave a safe country to make an incredibly dangerous sea journey with kids onboard, there’s a case for them to be taken into care. What sort of father leaves France & risks their children’s life like that? Not the type we should welcome into our society that’s for sure.

Only Europe counts to the little Europeans on here. Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, forget them. It’s Russia/ Belarus territory or the ECHR, and they’re the ones pontificating about simplistic arguments 😂😂

He’s saying that we could send them back to France before Nigel “made a rod for his own back” by successfully winning the Brexit referendum. Pointing out that this is rubbish and we actually received more under the Dublin convention. That was the point I was making, but you knew that…..

He said we can’t send them back now, because we’ve left the EU and therefore no longer in the Dublin convention. Pointing out the numbers when we were in said convention, doesn’t make him right, however much you’d like him to be. leaving the EU hasn’t made a blind bit of difference, so blaming Nigel for this shambles is laughable.

This squad should be a lot higher in the league, that’s down to Still, not recruitment. Recruitment hasn’t been as bad as some people make out. Charlton, Millwall, Portsmouth, Oxford, Derby, Preston would give their right arm for half of our players, and they’re all above us in the league….

#clueless. We took more from other EU countries the last 2 years, then we sent back. 676 Sent back to the EU 1,019 sent to us from The EU. Better than Starmers 17,000 in 1 out policy, I’ll give you that….

They should be locked up because they’ve entered the country illegally. They’ve committed an offence which they should be detained for. It’s not a hard concept to grasp. I knew a bloke who over stayed his US tourist visa in the 80’s. A bird he dumped grassed him up and the INS came and took him away. They put him in a detention centre, they didn’t give him a mobile phone, a few dollars and put him up in the nearest Howard Johnson…..

Ridiculous statement, it’s not pre emptive if they’re illegal.

Azaz was really good in this league last season, as was Fellows. Leo looks a decent buy, Mads played 38 times for a premier league club 2 seasons ago & 23 times last season. Add to that Charles & Wood, that’s over half a side coming in this season who had fuck all to do with last seasons nightmare .Add to that a few who have done it before at this level, and it’s bleeding obvious where the issue is and it’s not recruitment. I don’t quite know what people expect when we’re spending the money we’re paying. 4 decent buys listed above and the juries out on Quarshie & Jander, but I reckon with some proper coaching they could be ok at this level. What do you expect, every player we buy to hit the ground running from day one? Me, I expect the manager to do his fucking job and if 4 of the new boys are good enough to walk into the side, that’s a pretty good ratio at this level….

Not being ginger would probably help as well. If we keep this lad in charge, half a shot is about right, that’ll be our average efforts on target.

Course it’s on him. It’s his job to make them do what they’re asked to do. Some do it with the hair dryer, some do it with their charisma, others with their wisdom & experience. Some a mixture of all 3. Same in any walk of life, you take people with you voluntarily, or you force them, but it’s your fucking job. Manger, managing people to do what they’re fucking told…

Why? If they’re entering the country illegally, they’re committing an offence. If they don’t want to be detained, perhaps they should stay in a safe country, like France…

I’ve not read anyone who has said that. He’s just making things up 😂

He was a busted flush, he should have gone the preseason before he did. The record of his replacements doesn’t change that. The rot started under him and got worse, we were heading down that season if he’d stayed.
