That's bad news for us. Now they might end up with a huge budget and a competent manager.

A man I once saw interviewed with his trophy cabinet as the background.

Worry about what we do.

Shame he's gone, they're going to be a strong team under any reasonably competent manager.
Wonder if Elliott has been tapped up and is already lined up for the job?

Yeah real shame he's gone, they were never gonna get promoted with him in charge, might get a proper manager in now with a shed load of cash to spend.

Did he have his two manager of the month trophies in there? Because that's literally all he's won in 27 years of football management.

His playing career wasn’t too bad, but managing and playing are worlds apart.
But club owners always make that mistake.

do not cry for him as some load of mugs will be quick to appoint him if he wants. having a well known name in football seems better than having ability. just why do fans expect a big improvement when they have a name in charge when there is little evidence of that working.
