What's wrong with Wilfred Bramble?

He's aged more than I thought

Spivs the lot of 'em 🤣

So if I've got this right, King has friendly connections to the Lampards / Redknapps, and has let the world know that Frank has applied for the job. But he's running this recruitment process professionally with a completely open mind, and wouldn't find it at all awkward to give the job to...

That's fairer. I based what I said on two words you used 😂

Ah, he's coming back to me now! He obviously had enough talent to get a taste of League football, and I think many people grossly underestimate what a phenomenal achievement that is in itself. But like so many youth players, he must then have fallen a little short of the extreme demands. Let's...

Or Finch!

Moyes would certainly be a far more solid choice than most of the names mentioned. But isn't he more of a manager than the elite 'head coach' King seems to want?

OK you say he spent money on transfers and improving Ryton which is great and I don't dispute it (although it's widely accepted the efforts to complete the squad in the summer fell short and left gaps). But you also say he 'got the staff he wanted', and that seems to be disputed. If the only...

Where someone lives is only a small factor to consider, but I don't get why people thinks it's completely irrelevant. All other things being equal, would it be better if the Head Coach was settled happily long term in the area, or commuting from afar, spending a lot of time way from home/family...

Are you responding to me on that? Huge misrepresentation of what I said if so.

To explain, his line on this seems to be that he delegated it to Robins to find a head coach, and no proposed appointment ever 'came across his desk' (that has been disputed on here, rightly or wrongly). I'm surprised he didn't regard Robins as his single most important employee, and move...

He seems pretty sensitive to the way it keeps getting highlighted and the things people have been saying (“Everyone is obsessed with the midfield ..."). Can't be referring to sites like this one, because apparently he's oblivious to external noise.

Jackett. You missed Jackett.

How dare you!

And Oggy's in Stoke with the kit

True. Whereas with all of the others, we can be 100% certain that it may or may not work.

If all the user data ever gets lost, take comfort from the fact that you could restore it all from Grendel's spreadsheet extract.

It's such a long shot to find one who'll have a big impact though. And what are the advantages of them being foreign?

So tempted to give this a like, but still hoping that King hasn't messed up as much as I fear.
