    This is all part of the approach to keep us stable after decades of instability. My instincts are to back this though I’d only do it if we’re not ****e.

    And you're happy to criticise whenever you can


    Still's interview made it pretty clear to me that he would have wanted to bring his own people and have decisive say on transfers and recruitment. That would not fit with KLD plans for the club.

    Who else, apart from still, would you have wanted here ? Unknown Swedish manager ? And who would be happy with the head coach role?

    FFS, people falling out about miniscule nuances of perceived meanings ...

    ... the meaning and origin of Mackem is endlessly discussed and never resolved.

    It doesn't matter but that wasn't my point in any case, that's been totally missed but it really doesn't matter.

    Most of this is a matter of opinion, not fact.

    In any case I apologise if I misconstrued your meaning ...

    ... please clarify where I was wrong.

    You stated something I meant in my post. I meant no such thing. Your inference about me was stupid.

    That tackem meant others took advantage. I inferred no such thing. That was yout opinion, overlayed.

    Tackem does mean others took advantage.

    That's why Geordies coined the phrase as an insult.

    If you don't know that you should research your history.

    Ok mate. You are wrong, according to all of my shipbuilding family. But I am done, life is too short to argue on the internet.

    Don't want to be pedantic, but the United Kingdom is the union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Britain is an island containing England, Scotland and Wales and doesn't include Northern Ireland.

    How am I wrong, seriously?

    This debate is about clarity in communication ...

    ... why not give it a try?

    Doesn't make a lot of sense that someone like Still, who want greater control than we're willing to allow, would have almost reached the end of the process only for it to fall through when he found out we're keeping Dodds and Proctor on and transfers were out of his hands.

    You'd think that would be cleared up early on so as not to waste anyone's time.

    To be even more pedantic. Britain is an archipelago (also known as the British Isles) and Great Britain is the largest island in the archipelago.

    ... but including all the Isles, so Orkney, Shetland and Scilly to name a few
    The. centre of Great Britain is Dunsop Bridge, a village in Ribble Valley or to be more precise the telephone box in that village

    At the Leeds game the crowd were singing 'Stand up if you hate the Mags' ...

    ... I looked over at a bloke in a wheelchair and shouted 'Mag!'.

    Thankfully he laughed, some people still have a sense of humour.
