Martins goal keeping coach still at club.

[Andrew Watson]

I have to admit I did not realise  that was the case and more to the point did not know he is called Dean Thornton. So much for a total clear out of Martins staff.

Didn't he say and qouted something alongside of lines of keepers shouldn't be playing out from the back

Doesn't feel like the scandal of the century to be honest. I don't remember anyone promising or guanteeing a "total clear out". He was Russell Martin not General Pinochet.

Who said that would happen?

Pinochet was a well known fan of attacking football, preferring a fluid 4-3-3 formation. He was being considered as a back up to take over Newcastle, whose fans hadn't realised he'd been dead since 2006.

Arguably, a deceased Pinochet, propped up like someone out of Weekend At Bernie's, would have managed more PL points than Martin.

Possibly. Pinochet's half-time talks were murder.

Players were always going missing under Pinochet

I bet the atmosphere in the changing room was Chile.

You all probably think doing Pinochet as manager jokes is something of a coup, but mine was first.

They used to con Karen Carney to come into the dressing room.
