That's the stuff that coaches seem to hate the most though. I'd just use it as an excuse to not do any intro media stuff personally!

Can't be many managers who take a training session before being officially announced.

It is interesting how we have had Tannehill, Geno Smith and Darnold all completely revive their careers or what people think of them by moving on and sitting and developing (Okay not Tannehill as he started immediately after moving) - but does make you wonder how many others might have done the...

That's some real stadium on a haunted ancient burial ground luck isn't it.

She is also funny and keeps the ex footballers in check on top of all the other positives. I am not as big a fan of Logan. I read this elsewhere but I enjoy her on non football stuff way more than I do when she covers football, and I can't fully explain my reasons behind that. But she is someone...

It is amusing to see that off our record departures that Afobe is numbers 13 and 14!

I get artistic licence. But that article isn't really telling the story is it. We have sold 6 players that fit the idea of buy-low sell high, and that is over a 6 year span so you can hardly call that a mentality. Especially when you add the Nunes deal was great business to sell an expensive...

The Wednesday fans I know all love him. Had a pretty difficult start too this season and seems to have weathered that really well. Hadn't realised they had gotten as high as they have.

It's the Romo gushing that gets me. Whilst I can appreciate he is great, I don't constantly need to hear about it from Romo, who seemingly seems to see "one of the 10 best throws I have seen in my life." Every game he does the chiefs. It's like calm down Tony, it was an 8 yard screen pass.

Partly as a Raiders fan and partly just because I can't risk the chance of any more Taylor Swift talk during a game, I'd like them not to make it.

My mistake. I don't remember him playing for Scotland at all. Worse considering my own Scottish fandom/heritage! It was more aimed at the indignation of people about British managers not getting a chance that I saw all over yesterday. Including from some of the comments on The Athletic which I...

Martin now sacked by Saints. Two English managers gone in a day. Going to be some frothing on the gammonweb.

O'Neil and Lage are the managerial version of the idea of Fabio Silva. Trying to get a wonder kid (manager) early in the cycle of their career. Issue is they went 0/3 on the thinking on those decisions.

The wider point is still there. I only put that as had a feeling someone would be pedantic about a 3-3 draw whilst talking about defensive improvement. Even with those signings the improvement was in coaching. That was my point. I personally agree with Deutsch 2cbs and a GK. I would take a GK...

My point wasn't the spending. It was the difference a manager can make as they still have some absolutely make shift parts.

Howe pretty much transformed the Newcastle team with a focus on set plays at both ends of the pitch and basically being way more organised and players knowing the teams structure much better. This was his first side and he drew 3-3 with Brentford and it's a pretty rancid team on paper. Whilst he...

Journeyman or not that's at least an actual CV. Has some okay parts to it and some weaker parts. Managers have that up and down trajectory. I am willing to have anyone at this stage.

If I was an out of work manager I would be interested. I would look for a 2 year deal with a stay up bonus or getting another year automatically added if I did stay up. Worse case you get fired and get 2 years pay, or stay up and get the reward of that and one of only 20 Prem manager jobs.

The self sustainability is something they fired in though because of a change of way they operate and that's the issue. You aren't self sustainable when you are selling players to cover previous outlays and leaving your squad depth at a level data not only shows is insufficient, but we as fans...

People can say what they want about Sa and his errors, but Johnstone is just not good enough for this level, that was already known but it's magnified with us worse than when he was starting for Palace last season. The first goal is odd but he makes a number of poor decisions and is just too...
