And if that real choice was Gary O’Neil ? 

Probabaly a bad choice

Did I really read Keegan being suggested as a realistic choice up there for manager? Or did the heavy sarcasm pass over my head?

Farke has two games left at Leeds apparently. I wonder if we give Tonda the next two...

Not the Keegan you’re probably thinking of. The data bods have crunched the numbers, reviewed real world permutations, added a healthy pinch of “if it ain’t broke…”, looked at cross correlations of elite world sport and leadership, hence Mr Bradley was at Staplewood all weekend.
 

Don’t shoot the messenger.

It's been very good against teams that leave us space. He'll need to try and work out a way to combat teams who don't do that. 

Agreed. As the previous incumbent couldn't figure out how to play well against teams that leave space, he should get credit for that. It clearly isn't a given, must have been partly due to his coaching and tactics?

It's frequently quoted that promotion to the Prem is worth £100 m. So I don't think anybody will be buying Lampard for a figure much less than that.

I mean you suggested high-flying, European tournament team manager Liam Rosenior a month ago, so maybe take a chill pill. 😂

Also Daniel Farke I think would be great. But he isn’t getting sacked on a Sunday and taking over at Saints on the Monday.

I half expected an announcement today to make Eckhart official. But it hasn't happened, whatever does it mean?

[Willo of Whiteley]

Tonda Eckhart is Sport Republic’s guy. It’s all about timing to announce it.

I wasn’t against him after four wins in a row. I became alarmed when he said Aribo had played really well in his appearances - that is scary in itself.
