No, pretty much me replying to abuse I received for calling out so called ITK's?
Don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone on here called an ITK, that’s very much a RTG thing. The lads & lasses on here share gossip is probably a better way to put it but let’s be honest gossip is formed from a truth that sometimes gets embellished on after been shared around several times.
I think we need a new title for posters like you actually and I reckon ALA suits you fine. Annoying Little Arsehole to clarify.
Enjoy your weekend everyone even you ALA
 
Can we all agree the club have handled this shockingly bad.

they look to rectify pass issues.

we’re going unbeaten in the league

ha, comme les gars

Not for me, it's been a painful experience for us fans waiting and waiting but at the end of the day we've got a new head coach in, with his own team, in time for preseason, and that's the only thing that matters really.

I doubt we've just been sat around doing nowt and that's why it took so long, but apart from Still apparently dicking us about I doubt we'll ever know any details about it all.

Hoping Dodds stays on with the first team personally. The more I hear the more I think he is one to play a big part in the future and the now. Very good coach. If Le Bris is clever he will lean on Dodds these next few months as he learns the squad, the u23s, the opposition etc. Le Bris will be the decision maker, but jettisoning Dodds would be naieve from a footballing perspective.

I feel like Dodds was at his best in his player development role but it's hard to say isn't it. He had a few games where he made Pep look like a novice so obviously has something but couldn't keep it up.

Definitely think the new blokes should lean on them they'd be daft not to. Dodds especially knows the squad inside out.
 
Unimpressed and before I would get around to backing him I would like to hear his explanation of his record at Lorient last season.

Finishing 2nd bottom with a record of PL34 W7 D8 L19 F43 A66 Diff -23 Pts 29 does not exactly lean toward any faith in his ability to lead us to success!

Just as importantly, what impression will this appointment have upon our player recruitment?
Can you imagine the spiel, 'Come play for us, we've got a new head coach who drove his previous team to an impressive 20% win rate and relegation last season!'

Even more importantly, will the club give us fans anything to get excited about by finally getting around to signing players to round out the squad - especially up front?

Listened to this BBC Sounds interview about him and heard the SAFC buzzwords Shambles and Disaster, a weak attempt to justify the relegation as due to selling two of his best players in January and the team were never the same afterwards but they were in 17th at the end of December, exactly where they finished at season's end.
