The King is dead, long live the King

We don't like it and it certainly won't sit comfortably when you're eating your cornflakes in the morning, but ultimately we've got a new boss.

 

Unless anyone wants to buy the current regime out, I suggest there is bugger all we can do about it.

 

Other than raise a glass in the direction of the old boss and support the new one....

Normally I would agree. But today the King was a very popular one, who had fought a brave battle to be replaced by an unknown Prince who had been plotting against him for a while.

 

That is an important point. Not a good start from the new guy plotting for weeks about this job and says a lot about his character. If the roles were reversed do you imagine Adkins would do the same thing if he was approached to take over? Not a chance IMO.

I'm not arguing, but out of interest what was the gap between Pardew leaving and Adkins coming in? And do you think Adkins was approached by Cortese before Pardew was given marching orders?

 

As I say, not arguing, but Cortese does seem to have a plan, before making his decisions

We had a few weeks where Cortese tried to stitch Scunny up over compensation and Nige wouldn't let him.

 

This is probably Cortese's revenge on Nige for that. Served nice and cold.

Why couldn't this have gone on one of the hundreds of other threads already started today?

Agreed. Even the title is lifted from a post I made elsewhere.

 

oooh sorry about that. It could be that I used a well known phrase to sum up my thoughts, which happened to be the same as your comment, or I plagarised your words

 

apologies for the copy infringement

 

mods happy to close this if it's covered elsewhere, I guess I was trying to avoid the inevitable infighting that happens when unpopular decisions are made.

No worries. Pleased to have someone sharing my take on things really.
