I watched The Running Man on Saturday and quite enjoyed it. Never going to win any awards and probably a tad too long to be a really effective action film but still a fun enough film and it sticks far more closely to the book than the original. I was a bit worried Edgar Wright was going to pack it with funny quips but he's dialled that down and I think it was better for it. Beats the original hands down IMO - not sure why the original seems to have achieved almost cult status as I thought it was crap at the time and still do.

Said no one ever. I get you really, really want to win an argument but that's a bit desperate.

Not sure there's anyone who's a "Tonda fan-boy", or at least from the bits and pieces I've read.

They claim they won the 2020 election without any evidence of voter fraud. Personally find it hilarious that they're claiming the democrats are creating a "false narrative" - fuck me, that's all Trump ever does. Fake news anyone?

I think we should appoint someone who will win more games than anyone else.

Funny, didn't have you down as one of those trendy hipster stat freaks.

Generally speaking, I hate this kind of statement. I mean, in most cases I can at least understand an argument from a different point of view even if I disagree with it. I've got my reservations when it comes to Eckert, many for the reasons you mention, but the lad has won two out of two and while the performances haven't all been great, he's at least done what he needed to in a week where he wouldn't have had any time to work on much at all. If anyone expected him to come in, win both games and dramatically change the style and formation then that's probably overly optimistic. Personally I've got an open mind on him and given there doesn't appear to be a stand out contender for the job then I'm happy for him to carry on as interim, give him some more opportunities and see where we are after 10 or so games.

You could substitute BBC with democracy and that sentence still works.

Playing devils advocate that also means you shouldn’t write him off after two games either. I can see a scenario where it works out for him but I wouldn’t make a decision until he had at least ten games under his belt.

Completely uninspiring list of candidates so far and picking the least worst is a job in itself. Meh.

Nah, he isn't that bad and would be better than a few I've seen mentioned. Wouldn't be an exciting appointment but this search must be one of the more dispiriting ones we've had and I'm struggling to find anyone realistic that stands out. Fact that we've had more managers than wins over the last 18 months or so suggests changing the manager isn't going to make that much of a difference whoever we appoint.

I'd have Ross Stewart as manager. Lets be honest, it's unlikely whoever the new manager is they'll be around more than a few months so we may as well pick Ross and then, when it comes to getting rid of him, he can go back to (hopefully) playing.

Be worth it just to sort the dressing room out.

Good post and I'm in the same camp. I wouldn't be gutted if Still went but I'm not sure changing him is going to make that much difference either.

Always quite liked Alfie House - seems a decent lad and generally quite fair on TSP.
