With better players (assuming the squad is a higher standard than Falkirk's) he might work wonders & get us up! (And still end up crying in the chapel once they are all sold or bust)

Well if we have approached Falkirk...to see if we can talk to him - that's pretty much "chosen"...but stops short of "appointed" or "installed" IMO

Amusing now but not at the time. Also, has absolutely bugger-all to do with his future management capabilities should he come here. Atkinson himself didn't play top level football but managed some great clubs & achieved stuff.

Some are unbelievable...I haven't checked & nor will I - but I wouldn't be amazed if the same "who'd want to come to a crap club like this" brigade are now spouting about how rubbish he's going to be..."look at his record" the will cry. Everybody has to start somewhere - & at a time when we...

Didn't do Swindon any harm last weekend :-/

Well he'd be a fool if he were to say "I couldn't give a stuff about the whatever club I'm with. If someone comes along with a better opportunity or simply just more money, I'm off!" Wouldn't he???

Can't see a question in there myself. It's certainly an ill-thought out comment/insult again showing a substantial lack of real imagination or intellect.

Is that a fact or opinion? Lol

Hmmm...please what is a "big rumour" ?

I really have no issue with people choosing to have Sky. I choose not to. My original post is below in agreement with Richie's view about F1 selling its soul...like footy - not what I'd call "making a racket" tbh "I have a bee-hive in my bonnet about the Sky issue. Although in fairness not...

Maybe Mourinho IS the chosen one..!? Dream on!

Bear in mind he has resigned his Deputy Chairman role but is still an Associate Director - is he likely to be detrimental?

Let me refer you to each point in response above - block capitals - & as Bruce Springsteen pointed out "57 channels & there's nothing on"

But...why would I want to support an organisation to provide a service - when I believe it is very bad for the sport in the long term? I don't & I won't (although to be fair...I occasionally use it as an excuse to go to the pub for a pint to watch)

I believe it reflects weakness, lack of confidence & lack of intelligence. The only way to have a good time is to hide behind your mates & throw abuse of any kind at anyone who is either weaker or less fortunate - or who cannot get at them to knock seven bells out of them.

Some of the stuff aimed at their own players is too...

All on the principle that was referred to previously about football..."selling it's soul". Rugby Union turned professional a relatively short while back...a much admired quality in RU was the players unquestioningly accepting the referee's decisions - that's eroding already...almost every match...

I will never know as I refuse to participate on principle & cost grounds

I have a bee-hive in my bonnet about the Sky issue. Although in fairness not just them... its ESPN/ITV...actually the FA/Premiership/FL who've sold football's sole...& f1; cricket; Rugby's ruling bodies want a cut of the cash too...& it'll all end in their tears when it backfires.

The twitter feed was excellent. As to be expected...he has to be very careful what he says. He is a very brave man really putting himself in front of the fans like this. Seems like more people are starting believe he DOES genuinely give a damn - wants success. Just ain't easy...
