Nigel being a departure from the norm.... The Lansdownes won't make that mistake again,, hopefully because they'll be gone.

No, the promotion stick is waiting for the Lansdownes....name written in bold- it's over there, waiting...... Hopefully Manning will be treated on his own merits & if he earns his own stick based upon that then fair enough.

Quite right- I've not watched his interview, no interest in it for me...after recent events they can keep the talk.... I will be watching what happens on the grass.

The spine clearly needed/needs strengthening - wasn't/isn't rocket science although seems to be for some......

Imagine that bloke in charge of a firearm - He'd be more likely to hole himself than anybody else

The beast - she's done for me on more than one occasion

You can thank the council for making life very difficult for landlords - Unless they are the bigger players they are just selling up.

I'll have two - matching set for me & the Mrs

Can't we have one anyway & chuck it in the docks

Despite Jon's ramblings our squad isn't strong enough to be anywhere near top six - we won't be flying anywhere right now, regardless of whomever takes the reins. The spine of the side clearly needs strengthening.

Sorted that for you

In fashion of 'The Seven Stars' (next door to 'The Fleece') back in the day

The description of him from WBA was that you were never sure what his 'actual' position was... I certainly don't see him as a fullback.

Missing Wells badly

Excellent post Big Al- The sorry tale of Coppell came to mind yesterday & had the same train of thought - Less "Coppout" & more- A terrible moment of realisation & the confidence to walk away.

Sorry to hear of your struggles- I understand it can be hard to clearly see the way forwards..there is so much noise in the world of today. There are plenty on here, including myself who would be happy for you to DM should you wish to do so.

Talks the talk - Maybe we soon see if he can walk the walk - Christ knows with the Lansdownes he will need to enjoy a challenge! Ultimately he should have a bit of a read here to know quite how awkward the owner & his son are! If he comes here he'll need eyes in the back of his head & the patience of a saint - I genuinely wish him all the best

Don't be tempted by the bright lights

Excellent post Spike

Quite right- If they are all fit to start(which I doubt)then Naismith goes into midfield...

Shame & eternal shame - nothing but shame..

Prophetic ? - Steve's been so quiet maybe he's personally replaced one with his own over seasoned example

This visit to Kings College to ascertain a pathway for Nigels treatment would have been open, with a strong likelihood the Lansdownes were aware prior to the unfolding of recent events.

Why??? Thick as mince.
