Reading the announcement and the stated aims of the club going forward who couldnt be excited. If Claude delivers then the few negatives I have had under 'the previous incumbent' will be fully addressed. Looking forward to this season.
Those mullets are ok, but they're not the classic fallen out perm mullet that I adorned in the 80's Yes, I was vogue
Does anyone know the back story on Sammy Lee's departure? Was there no role for him, or was he looking for a step up that wasn't available in the new set up? Was he pushed or did he walk?
Sorry Rachel not so sure there is any definite information. My source didn't know he had gone....so much for that source........Most likely there wasn't a decent roll for him would be my guess.
There was a story around the time the lying Dutchman was doing hi thing, that Sammy was going to Newcastle to join back up with Rafa. I have no idea if any truth in it.
The best ever Only Fools & Horses clip involving French is this: Del: One of my most favouritist meals is Duck à l'Orange, but I don't know how to say that in French. Rodney: It's canard. Del: You can say that again bruv!
Welcome Saint Claude! Wasn't keen at first but the more I've read the more it seems like he could be a good fit. This board are pretty good at managerial appointments too Can't wait for the season to start now

That's an excellent, balanced article actually. James Eastham, who wrote it, is a French football scout and based in Lille. Should know what he's talking about.
Has a nice clean shelf ready for those manager of the month trophies. Wonder what Koeman did with those.
