Maybe so, but he’s a big boy, I’m sure he could handle the fallout. I’d have to seriously question the wisdom of hiring a manager who couldn’t.

Any manager who we would delay bringing onboard because we’re worried about their ability to handle Sheff Utd and Burnley isn’t worth hiring.

We’re crossing live now to Centre Parcs, where Coventry City owner Doug King is holding a press conference:

Yet another manager who wouldn’t be anywhere close to being on our radar were it not for him being a former player. The lack of imagination people have for these hires is baffling sometimes.

Slightly odd given he only signed a new deal last year, and still had two and a half years to run on his current one, but he’s really good so whatever yay

If the owner has lost confidence in the manager then it’s in no-one’s interests to keep him around. Better to give the next regime time to get their feet under the table - I won’t have much time for excuses about the manager needing time to adjust next season if that’s how it pans out.

Anyway, speaking of alleged sex crimes https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/matt-gaetz-withdraws-from-consideration-as-attorney-general

??? Why is a woman being the victim of a sexually motivated robbery in her own home fodder for your snarky comments? Because you don’t like her boss?

A cockapoo called Mia? Hell of an exclusive from the Mail!

Yet doesn’t feature anywhere in the press releases announcing the rebrand, and the statement you’ve quoted says he reports to someone else at JLR? Look, the campaign is naff, and I’m sure this guy had plenty to do with it, but it’s his bosses who are responsible.

I think this is just a gay guy with a regional manager job at Jaguar rather than the mastermind of the whole campaign, but you go and enjoy the pile-on!

Pope Francis

Doug King is on his annual trip to Centre Parcs with the Redknapp family. Been a tradition since their primary school days. No manager announcement until they’ve all had enough gos on the water slide.

The meltdown would be an all-timer, I would be THRILLED to take part in it

I think the problem is more of a logistical one than an existential one.

I preferred the moon landing stuff

If you think they’re going to do anything other than the bare minimum then I don’t know what to tell you. Any other country would do the same. Outsourcing the problem to the French and expecting them to save the day for us is totally naive.

You don’t need me to tell you, it’s in the third paragraph of the article you posted. But again - if you think we can just outsource this issue, then you’re not taking it seriously.

I assume so - my point is that it’s hardly likely to work. If your solution to a major problem is to outsource it to someone else (who has their own issues with the very same problem) then can you really act surprised if it fails?

They could, but they’re heavily incentivised not to. If we spent millions to stop migrants from voluntarily leaving our country then the government would get hammered for it. The problem needs international co-ordination, and the acceptance that not every political group in every country is...
