    The word "exclusive" when interviewing your own staff is such a dumb thing.

    Nothing different to any one of his pre/post-match interviews. Apart from we now know, he comes into training just after 7 am.

    Why did he take this job? I think it just goes to show that not everyone in football does their homework, they don't really know our recent history and they just see that we were in the Premier League recently.

    Nigel Adkins walked away for a reason and that reason was the Allams.

    Fair question.
    He has repeatedly stated that he's very ambitious ...... yet he's come to a club that has no realistic ambition.
    OK, probably the wages are better than where he's come from, and it is a division higher, but, just like with Nige, the owners / clubs ambitions are surely not aligned with his.
    I remember he stated that it all happened very quickly (the offer and acceptance of the role), and he didn't actually talk with Nige about it until after signing. He will have had some awareness of our situation, but maybe you are right with your 2nd sentence. Definitely right with your 3rd.
    I've questioned before whether he's been / is being 'naive' in terms of stating & adopting from the outset his set tactics. Maybe he's been naive in other ways too?
    I hope he can make a silk purse out of sow's ear ... but I just don't see it happening.

    Einstein said "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
    I don't think he has the players for his system, so either the system changes or the results stay the same

    What absolute ****e
    He’s come to manage a football team with two of the best players in the division init
    Growshitski and Bowen.
    Do you think a club any club will go through a season without a manager!?? As it’s been badly run or not run how someone in the internet thinks it should be run??!!
    Tony mowbray seems a genuinely good guy
    Yet he went to Blackburn under the venkys.
    Blackpool never seemed to have any trouble attracting a manager.
    Leeds have been in a **** state for twenty years nearly! Nope no manager for all that time... arf
    Forest?? Basket case at times
    Wensdee a mess
    Charlton a mess yet bowyer went there
    Massive fan unrest

    I’m sure Leon can put it a lot better than I can.

    But stop the self loathing for ****s sake

    I don't know what you mean about any club going through a season without a manager. You've lost me there, Chazz.

    We don’t win on a Saturday.

    Apparently so.
