    Bowyer did very well on Saturday, but last week he wasn't even favourite to take over between himself and Jackson, never mind against external alternatives.

    The point is that things change quickly - and if we lose the next two games they may change again. Hopefully we win them and the current set-up is able to run until the end of the season because it is successful, but the Kewell rumour didn't start on message boards, it started in the national press.

    Can people please stop talking about the takeover! We are trying to talk about West Sussex towns.

    I love living in East Sussex, lovely countryside, nice seaside towns, clean air, clear night skies, so glad I left dismal, dirty, traffic polluted, light polluted, crowded south east London.

    Sounds agonizingly boring.

    Although East Sussex is more than welcome to it

    Bexhill ....are you looking to retire 3Blokes, all 3 of you?
    You impudent young scamp, Oggy, I got out of the rat race a few years back :wink: I now reside in Maidstone, where they don’t bury their dead, they stand them in bus shelters on the Park’n’Ride scheme. :+1:

    Where did you live before you moved to East Sussex?

    Barnehurst/Erith border

    Northumberland Heath?
  • I don’t want to be too negative.

    But at first we moaned that our belguim owners are focussing too much on Belgium managers or managers from the Belgium league.

    If the Aussies took over, and then appointed Kewell, which to me looks based on the merit he’s Australian.. what’s the difference?

    About 12000 miles.

    For new owners its surely a case of assessing the current, in contract players, and compiling targets for the summer? By now you would hope they have 3 lists of targets, championship, league 1 and some both.

    I am less worried about who manages the remaining 9 games, promotion now would be seen as an unlikely bonus, than who is planning next season. Especially with the reduced transfer window.

    Don't be so naive Howells,
    You still get drug dealers, but it takes longer as their Zimmer frames only have one gear.

    I don't do politics but did we not all vote to leave Bexhill?

    As someone who went to School in Sussex, I would lean towards Seaford rather than Bexhill

    Bit rude to look down your nose on an area that a lot of choose to live our lives, a place that a good lot of us love... or perhaps some of us cant afford to move out to the back of beyond (yawn) and pay £5,000 per year on travel or want to spend all those hours commuting.

    Gone right off topic here.
    Born and bred in Erith but I escaped as soon as I could. I live in Yorkshire and you can buy a five-bed house up here for what you can a flat around there now. Anyway, those Australians eh?

    Just as well the houses are cheap, I'd have to take a 80% pay cut if I worked anywhere other than our Capital.

    There's more Londoners where I live in E Sussex than Lewisham.

    Not always true. I got a 25% pay rise when I moved from working in central London to Leeds. Cost of living is a lot cheaper too. So many myths about living and working outside of London.

    Come on guys, don’t be selfish. I know this thread has specialised in going off at a tangent, but most of these posts are unnecessary or could either be in seperate topics.

    Let’s at least try and make the effort to keep in on track for a couple of weeks at least please

    Sorry.

    Did you here the joke about the Aussie, Arab and the Scot ?

    Still no punchline.
