New Head Coach

[Smug in Boots]

It's just human nature that we're more likely to complain about something negative than to praise something positive. The difference these days is that with the internet and forums etc, rather than just being a little moan that's quickly forgotten, all the negativity gets amplified and people jump on the bandwagon like that's the prevailing view, when it really isn't.

Really?

I don't find that to be the case tbh, if I did I'd change my friends.

'After returning to the Academy of Light in late June, the men’s team will face a north-east double-header on Saturday 13 July when they travel to South Shields and Gateshead.'

Think the lad they loaned to Leicester could be available? Name escapes me, centre midfielder?

Maybe, suppose depends who comes in - Chelsea rate him really highly

Thought webster would have kicked on with his loan move as he was the best cm i watched at u21 level last season

Does he have form? Can't keep track these days

Aye he does to be fair.

If I remember correctly, he knows Grant Leadbitter.

Was it when he became Prime Minister that we started looking for a manager. Feels like it.

Casadei? I reckon he’ll be away out on loan again. Looks a player.

He’d probably get them up to be fair

The man 'with a vision' who did us a massive favour dropping down to L1 ...

... the bloke has absolutely no shame.

Agreed. Would be a good appointment there.

Alex Neil in talks with Birmingham

Neil has that functional but not spectacular style which picks up points in League One. You'd imagine they'd be consistent.

It's just another lecture from 'Business Jargon for Idiots' which doesn't actually apply to football.

Here's another from the same bitter little man.

The Exile II
Well-Known Member

"With every week that passes we get more evidence that the whole of football is at best grossly incompetent and at worst blatantly corrupt."

WIth most operations, if you don't like the product, you can take your business elsewhere ...

... with your club you're chained to it for life and there doesn't have to be any logic, rhyme or reason.

Are you seriously suggesting that anyone using the word 'incompetent' may be that poster?



He's like Agent Smith replicating himself. He's everywhere.

Be careful everyone, you don't want to wake up one day and find out you're the exile.

Moving away from psychological hang-ups about long gone posters, we're already seeing kids switching from one team to another because of their relative success. That's going to increase. The older generation of supporter is dying out. Businesses taking customers from other businesses....

Absolutely not, that would be ridiculous ...

... there can only be one and that's you.

The only person you're fooling is yourself.

I'm not so sure, he was an absolute disaster at Stoke where he had control of things.

Although, any Championship team should have a decent chance of promotion ...

and Birmingham have a decent team tbh.

You've picked a word that everyone uses at some point like it's a trump card man
