"Certain games we are up for" </p> Dear Simon</p> Please make sure we are UP for ******* local derbies next season. You may just win a few more friends.</p> Yours</p> 1 point last season</p>
Personally I think that shows the confidence he had in the squad. He clearly thought there were some games that if we'd have had a go at them we would have been battered. Personally, I'm not a fan of damage limitation but I'm not the manager. Maybe with the new players he's brought in this mindset might change next season. One thing I am 100% sure of is that he knows how he wants the team to play and, therefore, he's a better judge of who the right players are than me or anyone else. We've hired and fired too many managers of the years so it will be nice to give one some time for a change.
RE: Personally You're absolutely right about the turnover of managers, but we haven't been writing the cheques....
Still burnt into my mind Is the cartoon from South Riding depicting Nessie on the shitter after he'd had to miss a game due to having the shits.</p> Scary.</p>
Ha ha, quality that, note stuck on his front door ..... .... NOT GOING TO THE MATCH TODAY LADS - I HAVE GOT THE SHITS ..... cos it was well before mobile phones were invented, and he didn't have a landline phone, so he knew we would be calling for him at daft o'clock in the morning - god knows what the postwoman thought!!
