Don't like the manager - yes man! Manager doing well - obviously standing up to the evil tyrants! Magic.

He signed a three-year contract, with a release clause that was most likely insisted upon in light of this week. You can't get much more long-term planning when you're a team who've changed managers more than once per year on average.

Such people rarely exist outside the paranoia of people looking for reasons to moan about a board, I wouldn't worry.

He's just been let go by a Premier League team which many saw as a harsh decision. I can't imagine why he'd need to drop two divisions, his reputation should see him in contention when higher jobs come up.

Just imagine. He'd be the best player to have appeared in the third division for many a year, if not the best. Until David Bell returned, obviously.

He said beware the Ides of March. Clock's ticking.

He was at Blackburn last with Kean, I think he was let go along with him.

It brought results, but those results very quickly became consistent and uninspiring defeats. No ta.

Why not. Either he'll be a success or put an end to his name coming up every time there's a vacancy.

Because our recent history has a number of people who fancy playing at being a football manager and completely fail? The one time we get someone who's actually managed, he does so well he's immediately poached. We'd be insane to go back to the 'you never know' philosophy.

Most contract negotiations insist on clauses of some kind. Managing a third division side would definitely be one of them.

You and Tom bloody love the drama. Did the scene fade to black as you stared into the middle distance?

Oh fucking hell.

That's a risk faced by 99% of managers everywhere. Let's not forget he's in talks with Huddersfield who got rid of Lee Clark while they were very much set for promotion, which is way more trigger-happy than we've been in recent times.

You can't really put that blood thing aside though, especially when this is all current. He did well but he also spoke up to a few days ago about how he loved it and plans for the future. Either something drastic happened in the last few days or he's just shown himself up somewhat. Some...

Didn't he throw an online hissyfit when he wasn't treated like the prodigal son last time round?

'Speculate to accumulate' is a buzzword phrase used by people in lieu of 'throw money at it!!!!!' Helped the banking world.

I think it's time to bump that FM2013 thread if board members really do spy on here. I can't promise any of you that I won't jump ship, but my blood is healthy.

He got lucky when a forward played well as part of a team he put out and told how to play? I don't think that's how luck works.

Yes, because all he'd have then done is talk to someone and turn them down. People are overdosing on rageahol now, but a handful of wins and they'd change their tune. He wouldn't be the first to entertain a move and then stay put. (I say this fully expecting an official announcement of him...
