    Dean Austin position untenable

    They'd agreed the sale - you don't just have the new boss running around hiring and firing people before he's officially taken over.

    Dean Austin position untenable

    I know, but it doesn't change what we paid for him* There are only so many £4 million players we can sign, the fact that one of ours has spent half of last season on loan in L1 and half of this season struggling for form has held us back. * Yes, I know we supposedly got a discount, not that it...

    Dean Austin position untenable

    Maybe, but he hasn't. I'm obviously keen to see him come back, but for a player who cost us £4 million quid almost a full year ago then you'd have hoped for more good performances than what we've seen by now.

    Dean Austin position untenable

    There's only so good those signings can be if they require more (and presumably better and/or more expensive) players to subsequently come in and unlock their value. I think Kitching and EMC are both serviceable players at this level but neither has been good value for money, and that's the...

    What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor 'cos he's hungry, and the only way to feed him is to, sleep with a man for a little bit of money

    Dean Austin position untenable

    I don't think you need to get hung up on the definition of friend vs acquaintance. Clearly Robins knew him in a personal capacity and was an admirer of his work. It doesn't mean Robins was directly responsible for hiring him, but he had his fingerprints over most of the football-related hires...

    Dean Austin position untenable

    Again - I don't know the specifics of the law in the UK, but certainly in the US you wouldn't be allowed to even advise on strategic decisions before you've completed a takeover. I doubt King had anything to do with it. Badlan had just left for Blackpool and we needed a new chief scout before...

    Dean Austin position untenable

    Legally speaking, I don't believe King would have had any oversight at all until the takeover was complete. I have to assume that Boddy signed off on hiring Austin, but I have a hard time believing he did it unilaterally without any input from Robins.

    Well yes, obviously the food should have nutritional value You can make the same argument about any government intervention, "But what if it's bad"

    I don't think anyone's arguing it's a core responsibility, it's just a good investment.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Anyone been watching Silo? Season 1 veered between some great moments, and some of the most boring TV drama I've seen in years. Not sure if S2 is worth starting.
