Isn't Solak pretty friendly with Jim White, whose on Talksport? Sure they've had a couple of interviews with him before.
Blimey, Tony Pulis writing about exactly what I was thinking the other day when Still got sacked. The power and pitfalls of using data to build a football team. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c781v7zz0w2o I think we've been led down a blind alley along with a host of other clubs in the last few years trying to find the data driven golden goose(s) at the expense of the human side of the game and ended up with a squad of decent players who just don't work. Look back to the years of Lallana and SRL and the TEAM was outstanding. Now we're signing numbers ahead of people and suffering the fallout of that. The manager's job is becoming an impossible task. Get a bunch of rando's he's never met and has nothing in common with to unite and play as a single force for a club that means nothing to them. Say what we want about RM he achieved something building a team out of the ashes of relegation. Will Still never had that support or brought in players he could rely on.
From my cynical viewpoint, the players did look like they had downed tools for Still, then re-started work for Tonda. Either that, or we got lucky last night. However, a win's a win, so whether Tonda is backed by the players, or is very fortunate, we're three points better off.
