6 hour round trip! Wow.

Talking of goalkeepers, Steve Hale , GK coach, has joined Exeter

He's changed his name o tDaniel IVARSen

I'd imagine plans are in place now. I'm sure the owners, both old and new would wnat money up front from him though! Be nice to have a progress report and timescale update. And a reveal to allay some peoples fears.

How is he going to get to use the OEC at non match time?

Was going to do a poll, but then I realised you then have to define succes. Challenging for play offs after Easter?

There's 92 managers, turnover is high. Almost half of them get sacked. So out of 100, how many managers struggle with the language? And more pertinently, how many League 2 managers struggle? And even more pertinently, how many managers who have got their team to a play off in L2 ? Currently only 3 non UK. Cioffi at Crawley, Maarmria at Sevenage and Banide. Cioffi struggled in the fans forum in Nov 2018 that I saw on YouTube. Dino Mararmia had no problem, speaks better than many English having been here over 20 years. Time will tell, but initially hopes do not feel high.

Born in Algeria though. French speaking country.

Don't announce anyone till they have passsed the 3 month probabation is one of the smarter moves!

Big dog knew which!

I forget the regs, but we have to have some in the sqaud don't we. I agree though, we'll ll have to have some, purely on saving hotel costs. I guess the million dollar question is which will be the majority.

Cheers, I got an email reminder this time, posted to remind myself too! just cancelled

Boro have gone down the Head Coach route, with Woodgate. Robbie Keane, Leo PErcovich join him and Danny Coyne as GK coach.

25 keepy uppys or you're back on the next boat.

I wonder if Alan Hardy is still around advising? I'd be amazed of he was.

Was worried for a minute then, as I realised I hadn't seen Billy tweet any ticket office for a while and hoped it was holidays. He tweeted a reply yesterday I think! Phew!

I am not going to renew my iFollow as a mini protest. At least for a month, and that's dosh saved - no idea where I got that from.. IF we start OK I can renew pretty quickly, but if it's a bad start, and other factors I can decide then.

Claiming that Marco is a poor owner as a conspiracy theory is pretty wild. I thought that conspiracy theories play on lack of evidence rather than plenty of it.

It doesn't really matter if they were worse or not, he is being judged on his record and responsibilities. And has been found wanting in a number of areas in addition to the debt. I thought his predeccesor was Scudamore, but I'd forgotton about Keith Harris minus Orville. Harris was responsible for the ITV Digital fiasco, maybe you'd argue that wasn't his fault either.

I'd say selling the CheckaTrade for 100k per club certainly is his fault. Allowing all these rogue owners is his fault. Lack of Governance is his fault. Lack of tightening up lies with him. It's not like he had form or anything....

100% agree with this. What he has done with the money he is putting in will also be important, has he converted any to debt for example.

Literally the first 6 words. Oldham Athletic from 2019 to 2022. 3 years. First action since? Appoint a huge risk of a manager for 1 year. No correlation whatsoever to the "plan".

How can he develop Youths when a) he only has a year contract b) most of the Youths have been released. It's as far away from strategic as you can get.

For a Youth manager, yes. It's the 15 years since that are far more relevant.
