Ah, he's coming back to me now! He obviously had enough talent to get a taste of League football, and I think many people grossly underestimate what a phenomenal achievement that is in itself. But like so many youth players, he must then have fallen a little short of the extreme demands. Let's...

Or Finch!

Moyes would certainly be a far more solid choice than most of the names mentioned. But isn't he more of a manager than the elite 'head coach' King seems to want?

OK you say he spent money on transfers and improving Ryton which is great and I don't dispute it (although it's widely accepted the efforts to complete the squad in the summer fell short and left gaps). But you also say he 'got the staff he wanted', and that seems to be disputed. If the only...

Where someone lives is only a small factor to consider, but I don't get why people thinks it's completely irrelevant. All other things being equal, would it be better if the Head Coach was settled happily long term in the area, or commuting from afar, spending a lot of time way from home/family...

To explain, his line on this seems to be that he delegated it to Robins to find a head coach, and no proposed appointment ever 'came across his desk' (that has been disputed on here, rightly or wrongly). I'm surprised he didn't regard Robins as his single most important employee, and move...

If all the user data ever gets lost, take comfort from the fact that you could restore it all from Grendel's spreadsheet extract.

It's such a long shot to find one who'll have a big impact though. And what are the advantages of them being foreign?

So tempted to give this a like, but still hoping that King hasn't messed up as much as I fear.

IIRC you sometimes used to say positive things about Fisher though. Did you see him as mitigating some of the worst effects of Joy? (genuine question btw, not trying to be confrontational)

After the loss of Mark Robins, your top choice is 'unknown young foreign coach'? I hope our Doug has a more robust plan (although I'm not confident).

I sympathise!
