    Two Managerial (Head Coach really) appointments, that were really just to confirm what was widely reported:

    Brentford have appointed Marinus Dijkhuizen as Mark Warburton's replacement.

    Derby have appointed Paul Clement as Steve McClaren's replacement.

    Swindon are getting Southampton'd.

    However, they have a good philosophy and structure, so I hope they find their Koeman. :)

    Hopefully. It's never nice to see a team have one good season then get ripped apart.

    Just noticed something.

    Adkins to take over at a L1 club disappointed at missing out on promotion, arguably the biggest club in the division, and they'll be playing in a white kit with red detailing for their anniversary, instead of their usual red-and-white stripes. It's a recipe for success, I tell ye. :)


    (I'm also very happy as it means I'll get to meet Nigel at Roots Hall this season - providing neither myself or Nigel are out of work by then)

    Wouldn't that be great..? But instead of 2 seasons, take 3 please, Nigel. 1] It won't look quite so good as Saints rise, and 2] you'll keep your job for longer. :)

    I'm torn here. Love Nigel, but I have never liked the blades. Teams usually all into a dislike, they're ok, or not fussed either way category. the blades I just never liked.

    Yeah, I kind of agree there. Granted, I'd like to see him down this way, but they do have an awful lot of potential, and I want to see Nigel be successful again.

    Agreed. Shame he couldn't be reasonably successful at Reading.

    Yeah. That would have been excellent. Wish he'd gone to Brighton. He'd have won the supporters over easily.
