Meanwhile, chief executive David Lampitt has praised the role caretaker managers Guy Whittingham and Stuart Gray have played since Cotterill's exit. Lampitt said: "We have to be incredibly grateful to the existing coaching staff, as well as the players. They've done a fantastic job since Steve left. "It's not only the wins which have been first class but the performances, too. "From my position, and that of the board, it gives us breathing space. "It doesn't take the pressure off. Not many things do that! It just gives us a bit of time. "If we had any concerns about the strength, ability and experience of the coaching staff we would be under more pressure. But people can see Guy and Stuart have the team set up well and playing well." So what are you waiting for, Mr. Limpitt? Give them the f*cking job.

Pear? Plum? Date? Lime? Cock fruit?

You can call him a cock without having to use an asterisk.

Time to bring on the big guns.

I'm not sure if live commentary will be here (just found it), but we'll find out when the 2nd half starts: http://www.palaceradio.net/

They certainly couldn't afford him. So that should make him a frontrunner then.

My favourite scene.

Not all of them. On the top of my head I can think of Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy and Married with Children as all being very funny at times.

I think so. Along with 3 red cards per side, and umpteen bookings.

I think LD was referring to the last visit to Krap Nottarf, the infamous loss in our relegation season. The players most certainly did bottle it that day (Camara excepted).

Relax. Adam will be back, and fit. Their "paper thin squad" will be knackered/half suspended by then. We'll tear them a new one. And if Roman and Vlad are stupid enough to give Gray the manager's job (crosses fingers), then we'll tear them two new ones.

And don't forget our reserves and youth teams.

Halford told the club's official website: "That was one of the best games we've played this season, so to come out with nothing is soul-destroying. Isn't it a bit hard to destroy a soul if you don't have one? Anyway, it's quite encouraging to hear that under our friend Gray the Cheats had "one of the best games" they've played all season (even though they lost). Surely the man has done enough to earn the position full-time?

Be careful: the picture only shows her arse.

Which means "this has 0-0 written all over it" Trousers has been wrong 29 times in a row.

The DFCSBs could do a lot worse than Davros. Talking of which, I'm sure Stuart Gray would be a lot cheaper - so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Sven is also much too good for them. Stuart Gray would be perfect for them.

As Chez says, Stuart is certainly up to the task. All of us here have full faith in him. Come on Roman and Vlad, how can you not be impressed with that excellent win over the mighty Barnsley? Give the man a contract today. Our illustrious previous chairman didn't hesitate to appoint Wigley the minute Luggy left, so you shouldn't dilly dally either. The early bird gets the worm. You know it make sense.

Well, it's a lot better idea than the one closed shop PL being proposed. To be honest, there are too many professional teams in England now. Most teams in L1 and L2 are barely surviving, and many in the Championship too. Relegation now from the PL is close to a death knell to some clubs. Remember it almost cost us our club's existence! I remember watching the final PL match against ManUre with an American friend, and after we lost he said don't worry, it's not that bad. I had to explain to him that is was that bad, and that he was lucky that in the US they don't have the disastrous relegation. Having a PL1 and PL2, keeping the same 3 up 3 down, and more money going into PL2 than the current Championship, wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea. On top of that, maybe have one relegation spot in PL2, with any team going up having to meet ground size criteria (much like they do in Scotland). Big teams currently in L1 (e.g. the Sheffields) would be invited to join PL2, and the shite currently in the Championship shown the door (e.g. Cheats FC )

It is a bit of a dilemma, isn't it? Temporarily suspend our delight in the Cheats losing, half hoping for them to scrape enough wins so that Gray can be rewarded with a bumper contract. It worked with the incompetent duckhunter, being conned by our end of season wins against disinterested nothing-to-play-for ManUre and Arse teams. I just hope Roman and Vlad don't wait too long to make their minds up. We want normal service to be resumed as soon as possible. And also not very bright (now there's a surprise!) It's like a prisoner on death row looking forward to execution day.

Goodbye Stevie-boy. We'll miss you.

I'm amazed CW, that's actually quite witty. As they say, give enough Corpses enough typewriters .... ----

^^^ Great summary Gemmel. If we're lucky it'll keep Corpse quiet for 5 minutes. The proposed licensing system is intended to build on the two leagues' recent efforts to put in more safeguards against financial mismanagement, asset-stripping owners, tax avoidance and other related sins. They've just described the DFCSBs to a tee. Congratulations Cheats FC, you are pioneers! The first PL club to go into administration, and now the leading example of all that's corrupt in football, and the catalyst for the government's desperate move to clean up the game. The few must be so proud.
