If it's our sports bra shirt, I'm a bit scared to wear that one. It was horrible.

Hey! Just 'cause I support the club, doesn't mean I'm not an idiot!...oh wait, hang on...

He just put far too much pressure on himself. When it didn't go perfectly, he lost his confidence, in a pressurised environment. Clean, fresh start for next season. Without AA whining in his ear too, by all accounts.

Downs to come back too!

Didn't he change his tune after Gibson called him?

Sets out his position as far as he can, but aware of a potential ban, as well as the players. So, for the "My full support would be behind him actually, because I think he's a super-talented manager." There's " I will obviously seek advice from the team. I will seek advice from the players, from the fans. But yes, if it's ultimately my decision, he stays." "But if he's banned, he's banned. I mean, I can't put somebody to manage the club if he is not allowed."

Better than being called one of the Showroom Dummies. 🙂

"We are not the robots, and I am not das model manager. But the FA can sling their hook on the trans-europe express, if we're going to accept more punishment." Bit of a giveaway. And the tour dates coming up at the bottom too.

Quite a poor AI. Just the guy from Kraftwerk, with Tonda put on top. So robotic and...oh, that was Tonda. "hope to see you soon" points to that FA investigation. It is good to get clarity, that we didn't do this more than the WhatsApp messages showed. Also, that we got little, if any,nadvantage from it. That indicates, now it's stopped, that the preparation won't be impacted. It still comes down to the players. Will they whole heartedly be able to give as much as they did last season, under Tonda? There are plenty of reasons why it would not be the same. Even small margins can make a difference. If they are backing him, will the board be in a position to back Tonda as much as they can. Dragan's message was positive, and a warning to the FA and EFL.

My favourite player, even before Saints. He was probably the reason football captured my attention, as a nipper. Not just the skill. But also his sheer work rate, fitness and determination. Attributes that helped shape him as a person. Qualities he carried right through to his management. I can only hope he has as long as possible at a high quality of life left. An inspirational man.

Quite a ringing endorsement from their board. Of course, he could be gone in October. 🙂

It was tried against us a couple of seasons ago. The players were upset that Martin tried to sign them. "Drones! Perfect for my robotic passing moves!"

He'll work it out. After all, where there's a Will, there's a way. 🙂

What's that Gianni? Say something nice about FIFA or you'll cut the rope, plunging me into the piranha tank? No player chats with the manager, during 'keeper tactical breaks. WWF grappling before corners to be looked at! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c9v39x2v8yxo Mind you, it doesn't stop the 'keeper going down, to break up the play. That's tougher to deal with. And the grappling thing applies to attacking teams. So, defenders can still get up to the usual. Aaaargh! No! Not the tank.....hey, these are goldfish....oh, of course, it's you Gianni, you've embezzled the Piranha money under the FIFA Goldfish for Goals Programme.

And there you have the reason @sadoldgit struggles with it.
