    Yeah I've no huge issue with him getting the job, just very weird timing and unnecessarily heaps the pressure on today's match when we could have given him another week.

    Hopefully we win today to take the edge off the nerves.

    Blinded by hatred?

    How can you say there is no 'whiff of a plan', when they have given the job to the person brought in to eventually succeed Will Still.

    You may not like the plan, but it appears to me that Spors has followed the one he set out in summer to the letter.

    True, but hopefully they thought Still would last more than 5 minutes so their succession planning is happening a couple of years earlier than expected and I'd imagine they pictured TE having more experience by the time he was due to take over...
    It's definitely a gamble based on that, but so is any manager appointment really so I'm happy to give him a go. He's had a good start, let's see how he continues.
