It’s the way he runs with the ball with his elbows cocked. Ronnie was the same. He’s just as busy as Ronnie was as well.

You know who Rice reminds me of when he’s on the ball - Ronnie Clayton.

Bloody hell that was tedious. Like having teeth pulled. Stirling missed one my mum could have scored. He’s been awful in this comp.

“Our squad isn’t threadbare, we need about 6 signings “ . Enough said.

So you’ve basically emigrated and you don’t intend to return then ? That’s not quite the same as moving abroad to do a job for a limited amount of time. It’ll be interesting to see if he brings his family with him, if he has one that is. That’s what you miss in my opinion.

The Stones gig at Anfield got 5 stars in todays paper.

That’s in his favour then, he ‘ll know about the “ culture “ and he’ll know what he’s letting himself in for to a certain extent. Was he married then though ? Being part of a group of similar guys in one thing, being in charge of them is another. “ The loneliness of command “ an all that.

I have my doubts Chaddy. I’ll tell you why. Putting his coaching background to one side. Has he ever lived in this country ? Have you ever worked away from home and family for any length or time ? I have and it’s hard, really hard. Only guys who never wanted to get married in the first place enjoy working away. I’ve known a few of those but mainly guys find it hard. Living out of a hotel room is crap, even if it’s a good hotel. That’s just one of the reasons why I’d rather have somebody who’s managed in England previously.

The ball can move faster than any player you care to name.

Weren’t we linked with the guy who was a Blackpool, now at Villa ?

Disagree all you like, the facts are that so far all the guys we’ve been linked with have gone somewhere else.

Yeah, and they’ve not let us down have they !

Let’s face it - you’ve got to be desperate to take the Rovers job under the conditions the Chokers have set out. Anybody with a choice is going to take the other option

Or the pilot has decided to deliberately crash the plane ! Ring any bells ?

Let’s have it right, he’s gone for the money. That’s what happens in football, and normal life if we’re being honest

Too easy. The Chokers like “ The added degree of difficulty “ in everything they do.

No words do it justice. I’d be embarrassed to be party to it. Completely amateurish.

Will the market we’ll be shopping in now have players with the required number of points.

That’s the worry. Both the new DOF and JDT will be relative novices regarding current English championship football. One we could get away with but not two.

More chance of Mickey than Wayne.

Can we though now we’ve left the EU ?

You need a really good reason not to bat first in a Test Match.

Haven’t they just appointed Rosenoir ?

On big bucks too.

We’d do better at the darts if we took the blindfold off.
