Will have a backroom team who could still be better than the players who are playing.

When I worked at Gaydon as a yoof there were some people who lived in Kineton. Strange fellas. I imagine it was like how it would be working with Fred West.

I totally agree. But he still hasn't offered a solution. Just shown the problems are more to do with the players we have recruited. I am not suggesting they haven't got potential, just we have to develop them.

Isn’t the problem that a sows ear had been made out of a silk purse?

Is King waiting to see if he can get something cheaper in the Black Friday deals? Must admit I'm holding off a couple of purchases.

Just on those coaches who could leave and some of the comments about sacked in the morning etc, just remember that the majority of the backroom staff are not on massive salaries etc so if any of the backroom staff lose their jobs, it's a pretty sh!t situation - especially so close to Xmas.

I get that working in football, it's part of the job etc but its still not nice so lets have some compassion, eh.

It's not a nice situation and hopefully a couple of them will remain by going into the academy set up...(thinking Carr & Dempster tbh).
Delaney & Boeteng are multi-millionares from very well paid playing careers though.

Thinking of deviating from my normal outfit and wearing a three piece suit on Saturday to welcome the new manager. He seems like the dapper kind.

Would they be multi millionaires? Delaney didn't actually play many career games.

In the 90s I'm not sure the wage would be that high

They now have a milk chocolate version and a mint version, to go alongside the traditional orange one.

Need to try them.

The milk chocolate one isn’t worth the effort, haven’t tried the mint one. There’s a toffee crisp one as well, which has got crunchy bits in chocolate orange which is nice. I do sometimes wonder about diversification whether it is such a good thing.

Definitely been some shrinkflation going on there unfortunately.

Is there a Toffee Crisp one? Think there was one in with that 'pooping candy' you used to get.

The mint one isn't minty enough. Plus the milk chocolate is too creamy and I prefer a bit darker chocolate with mint, like After Eight. maybe that's why I was disappointed - I basically wanted it to be an After Eight in Chocolate Orange form.

Also really expected us to name the new manager today.

Really does look like Doug pulled the trigger without any sort of plan in place. And if you consider that some people think he put off the decision for a couple of games because we won it makes it all a bit of a farce IMO

This is a really risky move for him. That squad is a mess, Vardy as your main striker and the same defence that took you down and with seemingly no money to spend with PSR. If they do come down the Football league are sure to hammer them next year as well. Sounds like a lot of the so called bigger names have turned them down based on this so they’ve had to settle with RVN

I don’t know, with respect he started the recruitment after the presser. Wanted to take his time with it and is now dealing with the very expensive side of football recruitment with several contracts having to either be severed or created.

Longer than we thought maybe but if sorted tomorrow like saddle said, I think it’s fair. Better than Cardiff anyway

To be fair, still see them as the same experience wise but happy to be proven wrong. Big risk for them imo

There must be another name in the reckoning, along with Lampard. Unreported, so possibly a foreign coach. If King approached another club for a manager e.g Blackburn for Eustace, would it always be disclosed? Or can these things be done on the hush.
