    Yep. The EU still wear the big boy pants, and we’re back in our 1950s grey flannel shorts!

    or, will they stick with Daws?

    I hope not !. Daws is ok but we need an experienced “or young talented manager”

    Experienced like Hill?

    Young & talented like Cox?

    We need a GOOD manager regardless of age and experience.

    Hopefully the next permanent one will not need to kowtow to the Swanns!

    Sadly I think you’re right.

    All sound bites and bullet points.

    That may be a big ask!

    At the last general election I suspect a lot of Tory voters did so despite having grave reservations about their leader at the time and his suitability to lead the country as PM.

    Their doubts were well founded.

    They voted Conservative because they bought into the party’s manifesto. That and the fact that many had voted Tory since the year dot and weren’t going to change despite having a bumbling oaf as the figurehead.

    Bucks may have been one of these. I don’t know perhaps he could tell us.

    Similarly a great number of Labour supporters would have voted for that party despite having issues with the leadership at the time.

    As we have seen. Leaders come and go. You shouldn’t be voting for Corbyn or Johnson; or Starmer or Sunak. You should vote on policies and manifestos.

    Criticise individuals if the deserve it.

    Tar-brushing with terms like “you lot” and “all” is both lazy and inaccurate.

    he lives about 5 miles from me so is pretty local, though it is a village that I am not too familiar with.

    Will it disappear into the mist on Monday night?

    Aye, can’t deny he’s no worse than Hill. Or Cox for that matter.

    I said this when he signed on loan.

    What amazes me is that Blackpool didn’t take a punt on him.

    Surely worth at least 20 minutes as impact sub in the Championship?

    You should write a dystopian novel BPG.

    You’ve certainly got the ideas and the imagination.

    ..getting back to the Cashless society..when you go to the counter with your bottle of whiskey and they say “ Sorry sir,you’ve already had a bottle for this month,the transaction has been declined” ,the light will come on- but it will be too late!

    If you think any retainer would decline a sale, particularly in the present economic climate. You’re dafter than your Bible bashing makes you look.

    The idea of Bojo “begging” MPs for votes paints an amusing picture.

    You’d like to think one of them burned a £50 note in front of him!

    Or better still, a ballot paper.

    “you will own nothing but you will be happy” is taking shape.

    Isn’t that what your mate Jesus preached? “Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar etc”. Driving out the money lenders and so on.

    Make your mind up!

    Good call Sidey. My son went to see Arcade Fire at London O2 the day after the Queen died. Said they were excellent.

    Here’s another great band I’ve been to see in the past couple of years. Pity the lead singer looks like a young Boris!

    We ain’t going to recruit the “right new coaching team” until Sawnn has sold up. And that’s looking as likely as Tony Adams winning Strictly!

    So unless BPG can arrange for him to have a “Road to Damascus” style conversion and he finally sees the light we are bound for Blyth and Spennymoor next season.

    Not so much if we stick with Daws, as whilst we’re stuck with Daws!

    Swanny is probably still paying off Cox and Hill, he’s not going to shell out cash on a decent manager.

    Are there any out there anyway?

    Not his fault. Pushed over the parapet like the first day on the Somme.

    Only paraphrasing those managers that came before him. Hardly going to say the squad isn’t good enough and we’re odds on for another relegation, is he?

    He’s here because of the mess the Swanns have put us in. We know we should have a proper management team, but as long as the owner continues to play “deal – no deal” we’re stuck with the tea boy in charge of the factory.

    The Heed have dropped down to join us in the bottom four.

    Tuesday night should be interesting.

    Daws was what was left at the back of the cupboard once Old Mother Hubbard had buggered off.

    Rowe was limping badly last Saturday and Ntlhe for me was MOTM.

    Definitely need Butters and Rapter back though.
