It's not quite "where were you when Kennedy died?"
I know he was injury prone I'd not realised things we that bad.
Oh well another CB gone.

He actually got three "likes"for it
Whatever happened, I think Clough has got a raw deal as when he was appointed, it was stated unequivically that he would be in charge of all matters on the playing side. He's a man with strong views, and if they were trying to take away some of his promised autonomy I can understand him objecting strongly.
We as adults should be aware of the dangers of social media, all to often do we hear about trolling, stalking and type of bullying, the moderator's do a brilliant job on this site to get rid of any anti social behaviour,that's why I use this forum, yes let's have heated debates but let's keep it clean.I attracted a "stalker" who followed me on to here but got banned immediately. Not certain but he may have reappeared last week.
To some degree history is being repeated because it seems I have a writing style and views which stir-up certain types of people who seem to feel threatened by it or uncomfortable with it. That is obviously a problem for me, it is not intended in any way and I try to adapt it.
I love the Forum and enjoy debate, the banter and the crack; most of all I love discussing SUFC and learning new angles and views. What I don't like is that small group that rarely enter into a debate but resent somebody who does participate. I respect posters who challenge my views and I learn so much from them but that only happens in a debate which challenges each participant , not where somebody is not prepared to go to any depth, much preferring to get personal for whatever reason. Getting personal is a bit like juvenile behaviour really.
Three-letter posts and one-liners are part of the fun of the Forum but not when used crudely for personal vitriol. LSF has apologised above for his such post, end of. He actually got three "likes"for it though from posters who seemingly cannot tolerate my posts even though I'm just an old bloke who thinks he is making a worthy contribution to the SUFC debate. I do have my themes which are sometimes not the popular view and the trouble is I'm often right; if only I was wrong more often some folk would find me more tolerable!! There I go writing exactly what I think again ( there's no smiley for tongue in cheek). I'm not running for President or Biggest Blade, far from it, just writing what I think with no fear of contradiction, indeed welcoming opposite views.
Seriously though it's the debate where we learn so much; without testing our own views and listening to others nobody ever learns anything.
Hope this doesn't distract from the thread again but I needed to cover it.
they'd get the Man City jobThere's dinosaurs on Venus? Shit. What happens if they learn how to build a spaceship?
welcome mate.. not seen you in a whileWoody's a good lad, often took dog's abuse in the BM Madhouse (haven't we all?). For whatever reason this forum seems to have a reputation for slightly more mature debate (can't think why!) so hopefully it'll stay that way (cue replies of "feck off lingsbord") - we need opinions from all sides for any thread to be interesting, but simple personal abuse is the easy, lazy way out. Off you go then, let me have it ...........
sells tickets though??Re style/attacking football etc... that has become a focus of speculation by many on the forum.
I really don't buy it.
I'd suggest "style of play" is totally and utterly irrelevant for people risking millions.

Although it is a good thread tbf it's attracted a fair amount of imaginary nonsense. I wonder if that's in part what the FFS and the likes were all about.
Also didn't the OP contain some of that imaginary nonsense - ie they sacked him bc they agreed with me - which may also have contributed to the FFS and the likes.
Just north of you in a traffic jam on the A1 when my daughter phoned with the news. Not trying to outdo in terms of glamourous location you understand.

OK. I've said it before and I'll go again just for good measure. You (like most on here) often post good, insightful and something that while I don't always agree with it, I normally nod to my internal self and say "I can buy that". Sometimes however you have a tendency to be self absorbed and more than a little smug (in my opinion at least). Yes, I jab you with a fork but you give as much back. I have also said it isn't personal its purely we have differing views and styles. You seem very intent on not straying from topic where I am happy to go all over the shop in the aim of enjoying myself. If its at the expense of others then I am one of over 2000 who do the same thing from time to time.
When I don't agree with something I'll go in all guns blazing and expect the same (see Metals comments to me yesterday evening about stalking him and something about a gay bar). Now you can go one of two ways with this, you can either shrug and get on with it knowing we are all big boys and girls and its just some words on the internet, or you can get all beat up about it and flounce off. I laugh, post something back and get on with it.
FWIW I liked LSF's comment because it was what I thought when I read your post, nothing more.
I was at Woolley edge services car park letting the dog take a shit. Quite disappointed really as I found out the last 3 managers were sacked in the same place in the US.
Prefer not to flounce, rather talk it through like above and look forward to adult debate
and your wireless worked??I was mid flight across a circus big top having just been fired from a cannon.
Seems odd doesn't it? especially with that promo video coming out I wasn't expecting him to go, i thought he'd get one more season at least. I think you might have been right about changing the head scout, our recruitment has been a joke for the past few seasons, something which needs addressing. Remember when we used to turn up gems from all over the world and the lower leagues? Now if they're not from Scotland, Derby or Blackpool we're not interested, the only exception being Che adams off the top of my head the only signing who didn't meet that criteria.
Perhaps the board were worried with the work on the desso pitch already started and the home kit already released, we wouldn't have anything to talk about during the close season?
There's dinosaurs on Venus? Shit. What happens if they learn how to build a spaceship?
Good opportunity to say "no it didn't" , I wrote "pure conjecture and I guess"- my own comments were simply an example of the type of issue which could have brought things to a head and just to get the thread moving, that's all. Must say the written word often gets misunderstood on the way from the writer to the reader, but of course the reader's general impression of the writer comes into play!
welcome mate.. not seen you in a while
Ok, sod off Lings. Piss off back to BM.
Here's a version from someone within the club. Note they do not have access to the boardroom, so make of it what you will. It seems to have a positive slant towards McCabe, so whether it's a true story, a deliberate leak from 'the Establishment', or simply another load of conjecture, I am not aware.
There was no plan to get rid of NC. Clough and McCabe had a meeting during which McCabe suggested the appointment of a Director of Football to help reduce NC's workload. it was a genuine offer of help from McCabe who thought that NC was suffering higher than necessary levels of stress personally because of the amount of work he was doing. NC said it was not necessary to have a DoF and said (paraphrasing) "I am in charge". McCabe responded by reminding NC that actually he (McCabe) was the one in charge.
From there, somehow, things deteriorated, things were said, and even though they had a 48 hour cooling down period, whatever breakdown had occurred could not be patched up.
