Russell your football is shit isn't really an insight.

Spread out between Saints, Leicester and Rangers regulars £70000 doesn't go that far.

WHY ARE WE STILL INTERESTED IN HIM?

For the same reason some of us still hate Ian Branfoot, Roger Milford and Adrian Heath with a passion

A few in here would be qualified for Head of Football Insights alongside Our Russ.

 

Have we got a recent/ failed former Head of Football Insights looking for a job? Because that's who they'll hire

Just a distant thought but I and many of my schoolmates, used to really dislike George Kirby when he played for Plymouth.
However when Ted Bates signed him in 1962 we all took him to our respective hearts.
George was a typical robust centre forward of the time and helped propel us to the FA Cup Semi Final in 1963 as a 2nd Division club.
In todays game he would probably have been the recipient of a yellow or red card each game.
Off the field he was a real gentleman apparently.

I was thinking the other day and I might be coming to the conclusion that I rate him as a worse manager than Nathan Jones when their who managerial careers are taken into account

I think the band just preferred Nate's mad energy on tour to Russ' love in approach, that they left behind in their psychedelic years of the late '60. Martin's insistence on having the band pass their instruments across to each other might not have been for everyone, but The Who Sells out is still an album to be respected.
