Surridge came in to the O2 business suite (fans bar, old sponsors box) after his last home game.

A lot of the players go to the same barbers (in Lees I think) and Surridge had come in for a chat with one of the barbers from there.

Surridge was asked straight up if it was homesickness and he laughed and said no, he was enjoying his football and had a place with his girlfriend up this neck of the woods.

Going to check that out. 

In many ways Scholes doesn't need most of the managerial shenanigans, and could concentrate on coaching and tactics. But he played under Fergie who was a master if the craft at managing.

Ah "Six Dreams" its called sorry, not "Three Dreams".

Could it be Scholes has taken a leaf out of Fergusons' playbook when giving his wage/staff wage demands. Namely the manager should always be the highest paid member of playing staff. I seem to remember Ferguson or more likely his agent make it a stipulation in Fergusons contract when Beckham (I think) started getting the hump. For me AL needs to get his yes-man in, I think if he goes with the populist approach in Scholes it'll last all of 5 mins (hope I am wrong if it is Scholes). AL's trying to use the continental style in the club hierarchy, you see the same thing happening at scum, newcastle, leicester to name 3. Where you have a Sporting Director that handles the youth pathways into first team, transfer policy, existing player contracts and to some extent tactics/identity. Under that you have a Head Coach who handles first team training and matchday tactics. The idea being it safeguards the club from managerial and director changes. Your style of play, transfers etc are planned through from the top. In this way your manager/coach can change, but your style of play won't. Requires your Sporting Director and Head coach to be singing from the same hymn sheet to work. There is a Spanish documentary on Amazon's video streaming service called Three Dreams, iirc. One of the people it follows is a director at Eibar, and this approach seems to work well for them, who like us have a couple of larger clubs on their doorstep.

Get yourself out and meet a woman mate!

Haha, it's because of the woman you turn to drink, and the drink turns to writing dodgy lyrics!

A couple of daft suggestions to add to the mix...

Johan Branger-Engone to Queens another one bites the dust works quite well I think.
