    ive been told the same thing. Been told by so many old timers that I reckon it’s true. That’s why he was called the Clown Prince of Football. Also that he only played well when he was in the mood. When he came out of the tunnel, if he had his sleeves rolled up it meant he was ready to do the business!

    Sounds plausible to me like. Just a bit of theatre. Knowing it's coming back so beckoning it back with your finger. I've done that with hula hoops for my girls. Easy to spin back to yourself with them open mouthed at the magic. Amazing to do it with a football though.

    Need a new manager announced tomorrow like. Categorically can't have another team named by ****ing Andrew Taylor. Absolute worst lineup in the history of this club he named on Tuesday. 8 defensive players at home to Burton. He should have been sacked on the spot, the stupid prick.

    Even worse when you see how big another two points would of been for us. Only Hull and Lincoln won in the top ten in that round of fixtures

    Even if we appointed someone tomorrow morning, I doubt they'd be thrown straight in with 24hrs or less to prepare. Sadly, Andrew Taylor will be in charge on Saturday.

    Probably Grant Leadbitter as short term player manager would have made more sense with Taylor on the sidelines .

    I wouldn't worry mate. Sure that the player will be aware of what's happening and even if it's not officially announced, I would expect a big improvement in performance on Saturday.

    Judging eyes etc.

    Whilst that's true, I would imagine if we appointed someone tomorrow, he'd at least tell Taylor what lineup he'd like to see.

    Sky bet "Caretaker and interim managers completing at least 10 competitive games will be deemed the permanent manager"
    The way things have been dragging on with the takeover worth a punt at 25/1

    I only saw Shack play in a friendly after he retired. A fat Billy Elliot was in goal, too unfit to play out but loved by the crowd so in the game, hard hard player. But Shack was on the ball at the edge of the box and lobbed a shot in that landed just in front of Elliot with so much spin on it that it bounced away and fat Elliot had to scamper after it like a wee boy. Shack did it deliberately. My dad recounts Shack waiting for the ref to decide if he had scored or not so consulting the linesman, shack hoofed the ball up the park to stop on the centre spot. .. his message was a goal. Brilliant slightly mad real talent.
