Great player but can’t say I’ve ever been bowled over by him as a manager. Still, he’s here now and I hope he can make his mark as a manager as that can only be beneficial to us. Welcome Frank.

It’s all looking a bit amateur hour now. Almost 3 weeks and King’s not looking any nearer to having a replacement. Did King seriously not have any irons in the fire before pulling the trigger? Robins will be back in work before we’ve replaced him.

The ultimate irony being that reform was a driving force in leaving the Dublin agreement which by no coincidence coincides with the massive hike in the numbers of crossings. It’s almost as if the smuggling gangs understood what we were voting for.

Oasis. The odd song aside most of their hits are borrowed riffs from superior songs with word salad nonsense lyrics . The most overrated band in British music history if you ask me. The current excitement about their reunion tour mystifies me.

Of all the names mentioned so far Carsley is the only one that really peaks my interest. Clearly a good coach from his under 21 work but that doesn’t automatically make for a good league manager as numerous names in the past have shown. Lampard I’m not excited about at all but that could change...

Even if they were responsible it was Robins who appointed them so on that basis it’s still all down to Robins.

Been great for the club, so many achievements and under difficult circumstances for the most part. I hope he’s always remembered as a club legend because he is.

I’ve seen one article saying Lampard is the favourite. Although I think it’s the right time to part ways with Robins based on Lampards managerial abilities and achievements I can’t help but think what was the point in sacking Robins if you’re going to replace him with Lampard.

It’s not a shock. It’s a shame because of his achievements but the time feels right. Always believed he could pull us out of slumps and get us to overachieve in the past but it just felt different this time so I think it’s the right decision.

Ahh. The memories of the “out means out” chanting from the remain camp. I think they coined “we know what we voted for” and “we hold all the cards because of French cheese” phrases too. I’m sure I must be remembering that right from your claims.

So UK official current unemployed number is 1.4 million of which you’re claiming 4.3 million are on the sick. Where are you getting these numbers from again?

Why doesn’t it? You’re getting triggered by people being too unwell to work. I can’t believe that you’ve never been close to someone who has cancer and seen what they’ve gone through. And as I’ve already said. That’s just one illness in hundreds and hundreds that can quite justifiably be reason...

And we’re talking about one illness out of hundreds and hundreds that legitimately and justifiably keep people from working.

And?

I don’t know how came to that conclusion, I never said anything remotely like that. Maybe you’re over compensating and over critically thinking and adding your own context.

More than likely. Just on cancer for instance, just because you’ve stopped receiving treatment doesn’t mean you’re recovered. My mother is a bowel cancer survivor, she was diagnosed 2 years before retirement, had 18 months of work and went back for the last 6 months part time. I only found out...

Well, again. To put that into some sort of context if you take just one serious illness, say cancer, over 3 million people (and rising) in the UK have cancer at any given time. The majority of which are working age. That’s just one serious illness that I would think justifies not being able to...

I’m guessing the key word there is full time I.e. they’re not unemployed they’re just not working full time. UK unemployment figures are currently at about 1.4 million for comparison.

Thank fuck for that is all I can say. I don’t think we’ve needed 3 points so badly we were relegated from league 1. Hopefully we can build on that now, I don’t think my nerves can take another 2016/17 season.

They rank well in the CP index, 5th. We rank 23rd. Interestingly though Denmark rank first but there politicians earn pretty much the same as ours. Their ministers and PM earn more I think but it does tell you something about the mentality of their politicians vs ours.
