    Thomas Frank to Spurs then, don’t like the bloke but that’s a good appointment.

    Curious. What do you find dislikeable about him? I can't say I've found anything about him to get agitated about. I may have missed something.

    Although being Spurts boss is probably enough to shift him into the "don't like" pile.

    He didn't get Brentford relegated.
    That's enough for me.

    I sat behind the dugout when we played Brentford first season up. He spent the whole game whining and in the ear of the forth official. Was also bitter a time we beat them as they had a better XG. I just find him a bit of a cunt.

    What if he gets Brentford relegated by leaving?

    (He won't get Brentford relegated by leaving - they'll appoint and recruit well and be midtable.)

    That's called rehabilitation.

    Finally realises his dream to work with Brennan.

    Bizarre managerial decisions happening in the Champ currently. Apparently Middlesbrough interviewed SSC and he was keen on the job, but instead they're going to hire Rob Edwards. And Sheffield United are supposedly planning to replace Chris Wilder with Ruben Selles, a man with a managerial record that can charitably be described as mediocre.

    I like Rob Edwards, but that's quite bonkers. SSC is clearly the better coach. Levels above.

    The other bloke I don't know. Does he do dancing, spanish style? Most of the mediocre ones do these days.

    Well, Rob Edwards has been effective at getting teams out of the Champo last two attempts. One way or another.

    He was the Southampton manager for a short while. Not good. Then went to Reading and Hull where he also failed to do anything particularly impressive.

    Couldn't tell you his style of play. Not sure he could tbh.

    I spend too long thinking about what modern domestic football has become, and what the point of it is.

    Probably a musing for a different thread.

    Looks like Steve Cotterill is soon to be replaced at Forest Green with Robbie Savage. I don't dislike Cotterill anything like as much as many do, but that's embarrassing.

    Steve Cotterill* is a perfectly serviceable lower league manager. I might even suggest a good one. Savage is a fucking idiot. That's on the ownership. No blight on Steve.

    * although I personally find the accent too jarring on pronouncements.

    Yep, Cotterill has a great record in the bottom two divisions. I guess it’s a commercial decision? Savage, bigger name, brings in sponsors.

    Sponsors aren’t much use in the long run if your team stays shit.
