Confirmed from official site VAFC Press Release: Stéphane Moulin's Departure VAFC and Stéphane Moulin have decided to end their collaboration, effective Tuesday, February 17. Assistant coach Patrice Sauvaget is also leaving his position. Appointed first-team coach at the start of the season, Stéphane Moulin carried out his duties with professionalism and dedication. VAFC wishes to thank both men and extends its best wishes for their future endeavors.

And it will be ages before he can master Bates...hang on, that doesn't look right...

I had no idea Puncheon was that important. 🙂

And sport is the poorer for it. 🙂

"Did you observe Ramadan?" "No. I had a permission slip." Bit lame. 🙂 There are already stops for other things, such as temperature or fake injuries. So, it's not setting any precedent.

PM apologising for believing someone, rather than take responsibility. Chief of staff left while PM dithered. Chief of Comms and top civil servant leave. Desperate SPADs demanding loyalty to save PM Caught trying to select which bits of Mandelson communications to release. Cabinet office investigation on a minister's response. Not investigating the body responsible for the action. Caught running from an even bigger thumping by trying to postpone elections. I'm so pleased the grown up, non sleaze party are in charge.

Ideally SR and the head coach would "align" to ensure minutes are being played by their next sell one. Hopefully, within reason. Tino and Lavia faded with lots of games, before being crocked. While, it didn't work out, Baz was also played far too much. Silly prices are paid for flickers of potential, such as Dibling. A decent run of games, and Charles' natural ability should put him nicely in the window. With our bloated squad and manager-go-round, we've not done anywhere near the level of joined up thinking SR thought they would be putting in place.

Nonsense to have a go at Courtet. He had a poor game. Very poor, by his own standards. Fortunately, the rest of the team of world beaters, and their top level coaching staff, turned it round. Oh wait, they absolutely didn't. His error led to a goal. So he joins pretty much everyone in the team, who have already had individual errors leading to goals. Two of the new signings, just in the last few weeks. Courtet has cut a very frustrated figure for a long time now. Previously, it would pretty much him trying to be everywhere to turn games. Now, the team might have settled on a system with more up front. But he's still trying to be everywhere, in a side that struggles to identify how to set up tactically. His form, after such frustration, and in this set up, has also taken a knock. Not to mention the off-field things. The coaching team have to decide the roles they want from their players, and set the bar for them to be leaders. Given the choice, I'd rather have Courtet around than them.

It's something the club have said they've wanted to avoid. That was a little while ago, before this season's rush to offload as many as possible, without at least making an accounting loss. They were trying to pay less, as an incentive for players to be sold somewhere during their contract. The better financial package at their new club, being too good to pass up. Charles would be one of those, SR would look to get a good profit on. On the contract thread, there's news that Bree is keen to extend. That might depend on us moving Saga or Mads on. But good to see a solid pro looking to stay. People we can have, while others come and go, through player trading.

Surely, it's up to Tom Cruise to do more panto, if he wants to earn the big bucks?

My only response to this is... 😊
