We're gonna need a bigger scoreboard

Is that a euphemism?

Proper manager though !

Yes absolutely......compare and contrast with Ashton who was only interested in one thing - himself.

Right better cancel the minibus sags ......,........and tell the driver to stand down and he's now got a free day on the 3rd June in case he wants play bowls.

Let the shithousing commence!

Yes, that would be my guess. Certainly won't be Spurs, Liverpool etc !!

Lloyd George, Barry John, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Dylan Thomas, Catherine Zeta-Jones.............your Boys took one hell of a beating!

yes

John Hartson has just ejaculated live on TV

Agree, and L1 + L2 FFS - can't be many (any?) L2 players called up ! .......and Scottish football is postponed and they're not even in the World Cup!

In your case it's anyone's guess, after all you're a City fan who followed the Gas to Wembley ? Not sure your Gashead mates would ask you to drive the minibus again though !!

Unsurprising as Southgate is not a proper manager.......

Rangers, Livingston, Celtic, and Hearts ( but the last one is a typo I think !)

Fine in Amsterdam.....but that might be the gear.

He won't be sacked I agree, but Richardson had a win rate of 42% over 117 games and a promotion and manager of the year. Nige's record over 85 games is a win rate 29% so you can see there will be speculation. We know Nige has dealt with a difficult hand but so has Richardson....Wigan have been in administration, financial trouble, unable to pay wages, dodgy owners the lot so they've had their own problems. As I said I think Nige is safe for now and the Lansdowns are patient but most clubs would sack a manager with a 29% win rate stretching back 2 seasons. FWIW I think if we do drop into the bottom 3 on Saturday and are still there in January then SL will act to protect the finances avoid the revenue loss of dropping into L1. The promotion of BT to Technical Director means there would still be some continuity and stability should that happen so it might just sway SL to gamble on a change.

Do we assume Nige now reports to Tinnion?

Our history of managerial appointments mostly pivots between experience and young inexperienced guys as each failure causes a reactive action to appoint the opposite type ....so Wilson to Tinnion to GJ & SC and back to Millen. Cotts to LJ, Holden to Nige. SOD to Cotts the only exception. So expect a rookie already at, or with connections to, the club (IE a Millen Tins LJ Holden type). Andy King ! or if we go down and SL waits that long ....Louis Carey! Not my choices (that would be Edwards) but they would be very SL-esq type of appointments.

Looks ok to me

Spot on, they are straying back into Nigel Adkins territory with this appointment. Saints once had the vision to appoint Mauricio Pochettino so the fans are unlikely to be excited by Nathan Jones .

You know where he lives

Someone will be along in a minute to point out that he didn't really enjoy that season and that Steve Cotterill wasn't a proper manager anyway.

I was on the High Street at about 4pm and saw and heard them............livened the place up though at least, it's usually deserted these days.

Even someone who's Dad went on a day trip to Barry Island qualifies for Cmyru !

Jealousy I guess...........most of them don't have toilets or running water
