This new broom couldn't even sweep things under a rug. Now, it's had to be given away as part of an unfair dismissal settlement. The cabinet aren't doing themselves any favours. Swearing loyalty when Sarwar said he should go. Sniping, briefing and backstabbing. Just waiting until the elections to bring those knives out. Not that Starmer and McSweeney (or many predecessors from any party) did any differently on their way to the top.

I thought he was on his way, but Winks apparently has another year to go there.

Leave means leave! 🙂

Comedy

It gets creepy very quickly.

Except HMRC.

The club don't help themselves. "As the club works to bring stability to the head coach position, we will undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment," Pretending they are going to Tibet on a self reflection retreat is just the sort of nonsense that got philosophy managers like Potter and Rosenior hired in the first place. The Beeb reporting that the interim manager is in place for a mysterious length of time. "Calum McFarlane will take over as interim manager until the season of the season." Rosenior will now be appearing in Oliver Twist, where he also runs an establishment with 100s of kids on life time contracts.

Sadly, when I asked my workplace if I could emulate the grown ups in Labour, they said I'd be fired for violating the gift and hospitality procedure. And that was Day 1 Minute 1 of their time in office.

Relegation

That he's clung on this far, sacking as many as he has, would indicate he's not going anywhere. Behind the scenes, the playground is being split up into little gangs, briefing and sniping at both Starmer and their rivals. If the elections are dismal, there will be more of the same. All building up to a vote against the leader and a pitched battle within the party. Not just on personality but on ideology, based on the various purges between center and left.

Eye

Having trouble Man-Ageing his squad. Pillock.

Decades from now you'll look at that, and wonder just what was going on. 🙂

Don't do it.

I was wondering just how much rotation we needed. But then we don't know the condition of a lot of them, and knocks they are carrying. The rotation has kept a deep squad, fresh this long, which has been a plus. We've dug out wins when not everyone has been firing in the last two. Tonight, we just didn't quite have enough. Looking at the starting line up, Leo for Archer is the only obvious change. And Archer has done well in the last couple. It would be hard to drop Azaz, even if he's fading a bit. I prefer Downes and Jander as a midfield 2. But there's no question that Charles brings some attacking quality. So, a decent line up really, in the end I think, although I did share the thought, when we looked a bit meh at times.
