True - but so have many others! Look at Evatt last year!

Two wrongs never make a right. Just because others are sh 1 ts doesnt mean you have a right to be.

But I wasnt judging him as a man, just as a manager - and so far he has not pulled up any trees or earned respect.

He did ok at Derby with no transfer budget, kids and using his own money if rumours were correct.

Can't have anything but respect for Jimmy Greaves. I never played as a striker, well only once😁, but I would have loved to have been a tenth as good as Greaves if I did. He was up there with the best in the world ever.

Sadly for my poor eyes I did see it.

Looking like Notts County manager Luke Williams is nailed on to take the Swansea job.

Bradley Barry has been given the Eastbourne Borough managerial job. He's the ripe old age of 28.

As in Ex-Spireite Bradley Barry?

Good luck to him.

Edit: just seen it’s only on an interim basis while they look for a permanent manager.

He was already there as director of football and has agreed to be caretaker while they find a permanent replacement for Askey.

He hasn't been a manager in over a decade, so no doubt they'll be playing 442, long boot up field to a knuckle dragging 8ft tall Yeti lookalike, hope to score the first goal and then defend the 6 yd box with everyone behind the ball.

Plymouth Argyle have picked their next boss after a round of talks with candidates.
The Devon club are now trying to hammer out personal terms with their selection who came top of a final three-man panel.
John Eustace, Paul Cook and Ian Foster have made it to the last stage but the identity of the ‘winner’ is being kept secret.
Eustace is available and could come with assistant Keith Downing. Cook would also jump at a move from Chesterfield to the Championship.
However Foster, currently working with Steven Gerrard in Saudi Arabia, is a strong option. He is known to Neil Dewsnip and has previous experience with England’s young national teams.
Argyle will reveal their new man once the wages and contractual issues are sorted but that could be very soon.


^ Alan Nixon on Plymouth situation. Looks like someone throwing a lot of names as one will bound to be right. At least, that’s my hope.

I’m pretty sure Mr Tooley said on the wireless the other day “take it from me, Paul Cook is not going to Plymouth”.

[Mr Mercury]

Foster currently 1/5 clear fav

Now 1/10 per some betting sites. Argyle also talking of a Head Coach type appointment- the polar opposite of what Paul Cook would accept.

Well he leapt quick enough to Portsmouth.
