Re: Who's the Rioch to Evatt's Neal?

Ha, I did my first subbing test interviee last year for the first time in about a decade when I moved from in-house comms to (relatively) boiler room subbing. I got the job, but still have nightmares about the atrocity of an article I faced for the second half of that test. I just stared at it for ...

Done a lot too and similarly to you post shortlisting usually you have someone in mind out of the group you are interviewing. However, I always, always go on gut feel.

Re: Financiers, investors and white knights: What next for FV?

Is the bond holders meeting this week? Anyone? If it is on it should be great craic. I’m guessing the manager wouldn’t show. Friday night, and I believe SB and IE will be there, amongst others. Cheers bud. Let’s see what happens on Tuesday, eh? If we lose that one it will be an absolute bloodbath o...

Wonder if they’ll turf Atherton and keep Crainey as caretaker (or “interim”)
Apparently they have all gone, Crainey, Atherton & Gilks.

Us winning this trophy and booing Evatt when he lifts it is going to be incredible.

A sell out crowd. In the cup is his P45

3000 down at Wembley? Would be a complete humiliation.
Easy for parking and smaller queues for the bar though. Sounds like a cracking day out tbh.

Re: High Noon Cover up. V Rotherham away Sat 11th Jan 12-30.

I think it was the former Bayern manager who basically said "60% of being a good manager is not being a dick." You can understand why so many ex-footballers find it tricky.

Re: High Noon Cover up. V Rotherham away Sat 11th Jan 12-30.

If I was playing devil's advocate I may even say SB has been relying on people to tell her that x or y is a good football coach, etc, and priotising that over the traits leaders in senior positions ...
