Optimistic, but I hope you're right!

Tyson Fury.

Think Doug King will get it.

So King's now the owner, entire Board and self-elected manager! No doubt he's also polishing his boots as we speak. A true polymath.

Yawning gaps. To paraphrase CJ in Reggie Perrin, it's unlikely that DK got where he is today by being even-handed in his version of events. The only hope of closing those gaps is to get MR and AV's input, and maybe DL's too, which looks unlikely at the moment. One thing that's been nagging away...

It is, but it does at least explain them in a way that helps the non-statisticians amongst us. Robins didn't go from being a manager above the median to one below; he had to contend with greatly changed work circumstances and some players who didn't appear to be giving their all, combined with...

No help whatsoever. You didn't actually say whether you got out of the jungle or not!
