I gave my opinion. Your's is personal, as always, provocative and rubbish. As to whether he deserves the job or not that would depend on who applied and won on merit, in a real club. This annointing of the successor from within is not the way to do it. However, I'd give him a chance just like I have all the others (apart from Kean and Coyle.)

Its a gamble(or would be) which we all hope would pay off. But if we keep plundering the lower down areas of the club then that becomes the next area to fix. Its true what I said though isn't it? We did joke about them getting the job. The danger is they'll disappoint through no fault of their own and we'll have stuffed up the youth set-up as well. We are doing this because of an unerring Venky ability not to find the right manager in the first place. Not because someone has decided Johnson has earned the berth.

He's making out a very good case for playing him isn't he?!

We need a winger, we need pace and we need to be able to counter-attack. noticeable in the Shrewsbury game that they got from A to B much quicker than we did. His non-selection as a starter is just another example of how everyone but the manager can see a problem and a potential solution. The ball pulled back from the bye-line---still the most effective move in football.

some while ago we joked on here about Johnson or Dunn or both getting the next manager job! Now we are begging for it! An astonishing example of the dumbing down in expectations Venkys have brought about in our once-great Club.

They could set a new record for length of time spent in Div 3 or they could set a new record for dumping us in Div 4 for the first time ever. That, imo, is all we have to look forward to.

True,and I agree with everything you say but attendances in the Championship this weekend were nearer 30000 than 20. Thats unprecedented isn't it?

Anyone else notice the attendance figures for the Championship? Apart from Burton Albion, (and QPR) absolutely enormous. Some big clubs down there now, (or is it up there?)

Rotten idea. Income tax is fair when its not too low for the rich.

I didn't bring it up, blame Blueboy!

Yes, we could start with Luther's cautious move away from a literal interpretation of the Mass, move on to Zwingi's more radical theory of consubstantiation and then on to the Calvinist belief that Communion is merely an act of remembrance or commemoration of the Last Supper. Of course this would only be necessary for those on the MB not as intelligent or informed as you and I.

True colours mate. Get rid Mods.

Should be good for us for a couple of years at this level, unless he gets kicked off the pitch of course.

I don't think he did believe it. Just playing with us really. Made him rich, what did he care?

Feel the same! Didn't want to read it but knew I had to! Congratulations DE on all your hard work.

Delfuenso! If that wasn't a dodgy agent deal, what was it? He had nothing! Reached that conclusion in his first game in his first game, never seen a worse debut and was told on here to"give him a chance"! Couldn't even make Blackpool's starting line-up in the League 2 final!! If Bowyer is such a great spotter of players, what possible excuse has he for that one? Were we still in the hands of agents? Over to Jal!

Has the LT mentioned either Duncan Millar standing for election or Venkys being raided by the tax authorities? If not what use is it?

Vernon,Pickering,England? Too young Len?

That's the saddest thing about being a "little" club, watching players you saw make their debut with your team, watching them grow into stars and then watching them going on to even bigger things with another, bigger team. Looking back at all the great players we have lost, I never really get over it.

He forgot King though---Rhodes,Gestede AND King and we still didn't make the play-offs!

Very encouraging. Let's hope it's still the case when Kim-Jong May has a massive majority after the election.

Rev please note!

What Huddersfield did was probably to send us down. Relegation should not be a lottery, depending on which team you play when. The problem is that the punishment ie a fine, is nowhere near sufficient to deter would-be wrong-doers and every year sees the rule broken with impunity. And the football authorities do nothing as usual. In the end though, we are in this vulnerable position because of short-comings throughout the squad and throughout the Club which have been obvious and nothing was done about them either.

I can clearly remember people complaining.

Clubs have been fined under this rule before but it's redundant. How many clubs rest players before a "less important" Cup game? We have for a start on many occasions. It's the only way Josh King got to play! I suppose the issue here is the sheer number of changes. It's pretty much giving them the game. Hopefully next week Brum will play a full-strength side and not get 2 penalties !
