We're keeping the set-up, just probably not the personnel.

Taken we a while to wade through this thread but this was my take. I think there was truth in what Doug was saying, but it certainly wasn't the whole truth and I felt it was carefully edited to paint him in a better light, which I guess is hardly surprising. The thing about MR and AV falling...

Sounds like the poshest gang war in history. Retribution not for cutting someone, but for doing it with the wrong knife.

Surely it should be made from handbags?

He's a Bond villain. Undoubtedly got some very clever ideas with technical stuff but he comes across a someone who has absolutely no understanding of people. Hence why he spends his time around machines - he can make sense of them with set rules that always apply in every situation. People...

Agree entirely. It's dehumanising and doesn't give the impression you see them as valued individuals and employees. Maybe it is a new 'buzz word' in industry but I've never heard anyone say that before. However, it probably is appropriate for King's thoughts towards the players - just things...

Well we all know what he'd get called if it went tits up don't we...

Everybody knows Gerrard and Lampard don't work together!

That's another of those things that doesn't quite sit right for me. I know it's still conjecture but the way King was very careful in how he worded his response to the assistant question and that allegedly Dr Roberts called to say it wasn't the right time. Just seems like it may have been...

But still not professional. If Andy Turner had reeled off a load of names and he'd said yes or no he'd have only been saying they'd put their CV in, but would be very unprofessional.

Maybe, maybe not. King last night defended Dr Roberts and said things like how fit the players were and that she had no involvement in team affairs or team performance. So why would she be helping choose the coaches if that's not an area she's involved with? There was just so many...

He always came across as a very sore loser in interviews after losses to me.

All that is fine, though sounds like they've given Head of Sports Science a fancier job title. However, one thing that seems a bit strange is that I swear it was said at the time that she was part of the team selecting the new coaches. I don't really see how that would be her responsibility at...

I'm pretty sure those with the radical views are in the minority, but those that are hardline get an awful lot of coverage because of their views and the fanatical way they go about getting their way. Obviously Muslim countries like Iran and Iraq will have a stricter adherence to the more...

Cos players keep on bumping into Wright and knocking him over and Clive's desperate to throw in "there was a bit of haji bargy"?

Although personally I don't remember hearing it that often MR had been in charge for a long time so would have earned some right to it. If it is FL I will be referring to him as Coventry City's Frank Lampard.

It is so annoying. If you're going to make changes you believe in, do it now and give yourself 5 years to show they are an improvement. It seems like they're going down the route of steady the ship and then make the changes, but haven't worked out what they're doing is the same as what hasn't...

All of these things were broken long before Labour got near it. This is the culmination of years of Tory govts underfunding with the intention of increasing privatisation in the health service. Do you really think that the system has broken because Labour have been in power a few months and...

Again, so we should not do what is right just because others are doing it. If you're at the football and someone starts singing a racist song, do you do nothing, tell them to stop or join in?

And doing what others are doing is going to change that? I'm not expecting everyone else to just say 'oh, they're doing it so we'd better do it too'. I'm saying we should do what is right and lead by example, not just say "well everyone is doing that so we should too".
