    That's right, you didn't, you said that "Britain is not a country but a union between countries", it's not, it's an island, the union is the United Kingdom

    I can't believe people wanted a 'native speaker' above anything else ....

    ... perhaps we should've gone for Shearer.

    We’re taught to write and type using correct grammar and punctuation as well, but I wouldn’t hold it against anyone that didn’t.

    Shouldn't that be 'who' didn't <laugh>


    (And, yes I know the <laugh> is replacing the question mark.)

    (But perhaps I shouldn't have started the sentence with 'And' or this one with 'but'. But I did ... balls, just done it again!)

    This thread has gone mental, grammar and elocution lessons :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    For those who's wider football knowledge is greater than mine, is it unusual for a new head coach to not bring in any of his own staff?

    Is it just my outdated perception of coaches and managers that's over thinking it amd this is actually who things are these days?

    I can see the logic behind keeping the backroom staff for the continuity amd minimising any upheaval, but assumed any new coach would want his own right hand man?
