    If this clown is still in charge on Tuesday, The Valley could turn very toxic, very quickly.

    That's as may be, but the team still needs to win, so maybe wait till full time eh...🤔
  • If there was a board meeting at 9:30, is it reasonable to assume it finished by 11?

    If it was agreed to sack him, I'm assuming that would have been done by 1?

    next step is to speak to the caretaker, say 3pm

    next step, work on a press release and get it done, say 6pm

    hopefully in 3hrs 20mins, it will be announced
  • Do any of the Comms team work on a Sunday, especially after a match day?

    Announcement tomorrow is my guess

    To be fair... I said someone's Dad... Rather than Grandad ;)
    Right that’s it, I don’t care how tall you are Makro’s car park Tuesday 18.30 😉
    Do you want to make it a little earlier so it doesnt clash with your nap time :D
    Matron won’t let me miss that so on second thoughts I’ll have to give it  a miss 😉.

    So Shrewsbury have sacked Matt Taylor, who has done better than MA. So in conclusion Shrewsbury have higher expectations than us.

    3 hours 20mins and counting will be crucial.

    He doesn't deserve it but he'll be given at least another week to work with the new signings I think

    But why though? It’s NEVER going to work under this clown (not aimed at you). 

    Get Warnock in now and be done with it

    Maybe we’re after Matt Taylor? 🤔

    On a side note, was that the first time two people with the same name have managed in the same league?

    I’m not the whole Valley crowd, but yes I’m sure we will withhold any potential displeasure until the end of the match.

    I’d go along with that. 9am tomorrow is my thinking.

    My question is that as he shows nothing during the match why stand in the technical area ?
    Surely sitting 20 rows back in the stand would give him a much better view of the whole pitch.
    You get a very limited view from the touchline and unless you're passing on instructions to the players what's the point of being there ?
    Yes, one our old managers used to sit in the west stand.

    All this talk of him being a great coach but not a manager ! Do we look like a well coached team ? Forget the seemingly non existent comments from the touchline as a game develops I personally see no evidence that any decent coaching is happening

    Sounds like they've got more of an elite winning mentality.

    They've heard the brilliant coach Michael Appleton may soon be available.

    I’ve had WhatsApps saying he’s gone.  It’s full of clowns my WhatsApp group so don’t shoot the messenger, but sounds pretty sure.

    Full of clowns? Appletons on it?

    Keith Peacock would do that when working with Curbs.
