Britannia

Is he saving Fellows for when they get tired, assuming they'll get tired?

Why are the managers being interviewed when the match hasn't finished? What is this?

I did think about that before. I didn't know he had coaching qualifications though. It's a serious suggestion though. Why not have RA manager? Cut out the (alleged) middle man. Amusing if he had to sack himself

This is going almost exactly the same way it went with Still.

I’m quite embarrassed by how naive I was after the four wins, thinking that we had to give him the job. I don’t know what to think anymore.

What a mess it was.

Oh dear.

Macclesfield look dangerous, every time they go forward I think they’re going to score.

I remember at the time Still was dismissed, how the performances changed immediately and being quite angry thinking the players had thrown the manager under the bus. Downed tools for his removal. This news brings me back to that. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

Has a club ever loaned out a manager?

The Charlton and Leicester wins sold him for me, though I wasn't ignorant to the performances in the 2nd 45. In retrospect, a draw/loss during that period wouldn't have been terrible.

That long?

Second abandonment of the day at Blackburn.

Good heavens!

He’ll want to take the job as opportunities may not come around often, but it’s really too much pressure at this point in his career with the club and squad in the state it’s in. I’m not so worried if the manager is decent so much as I’m worried that the players will turn against him. They did with Will so why wouldn’t they with another young manager. Maybe his man management skills are better. It is still possible that he’ll be great.

What if Keith Andrews is the next Thomas Frank?

Heard it went all the way back to Marchwood at one point.

Dave Merrington famously once said modern football players are like egg shells.

I often wonder what the working relationship between himself and Matthew Benham was like. I understand MBs background is in statistics. What did RA do there?

I wonder if he is looking for a new agent. Boro are second.

He owns the shares in Sport Republic Ltd which in turn owns 80% of SMFGL.

If Solak has control, could he sell SR’s shares in St Mary’s Football Group Ltd (the holding company) to himself as a private shareholder, taking SR out of reach entirely with them retaining the other two clubs?

He sounds to have reached Hasenhuttl levels of burnout already.

What a funny evening.

I've been switching between the Grimsby/Man U match and this one and have managed to miss every goal so far in both matches.
