    a worker or sports player who is reliable but not outstanding.
    "a solid journeyman professional"

    Sounds reasonable to me.
    Don’t care on the LOLs, if we land up with them, we are going nowhere!

    Who can we get that would make us go somewhere, positive?

    If we get someone like Johnson, Appleton, Cowley we will finish somewhere like 8th-12th.  With the outside chance of the play offs.

    If we take a more "sexy" risk we could actually get relegated if it goes Pete Tong and probably end up with a "safe pair of hands" in March anyway.
  • Was thinking of the Monty Python 'What did the Roman's ever do' sketch. Substitute Curbs for Roman's, lol.


  • My source. An afc board member
    Then maybe I stand corrected.  However I'm still surprised if it is that cut and dry, I would still think Jackson had some say in who they brought in by his comments.

    I'm sure that if the scouting team come back with a shortlist of 3, jackson would be involved in deciding the rank in order or preference but days where managers are heavily involved in the process are gone

    Why?
  • I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring now I know that managers out of work have to apply. 

    I know the team well having seen most of our games, I have a good feel for what the fans are looking for, I will play a player in their natural position and I’m not a dick-head! There can’t be much more to it than that! 

    And I might put myself on the bench for the pizza games at the expense of Kirk!

  • Said last week it doesn’t matter who we get in .
    As they say you can’t polish a turd!

    You live in Roker @Rokerite ?
  • Appleton now 4/6 on. Please no. 
  • Look, the Cowleys aren’t my preference for the job at all. I’ve nailed my colours firmly to the mast for who I’d like. BUT, can we please not call them the PE teachers from the word go if they get the job? It’s really disrespectful - we can at least give them a go
    How about you can only call them PE teachers if 1) you have been a PE teacher and 2) you have managed over 400 games in the EFL?

    That sounds fair?

    Do the 400-games count from the comfort of my armchair?
  • I just can’t be bothered to read it over and over for for 8 months until they get sacked. It’s really not funny and unoriginal. We had the same thing with Adkins and ‘walking is great’/being a physio. 
  • Expecting statements from Cowley and Appleton tomorrow to say that on reflection they’ve decided to give it a miss. Just hours later, Karel Fraeye is spotted at St Pancras.

    Our best manager …

    Jimmy Seed?
  • Someone at the game saying it’s Appleton. 
    (Not the best manager, the new manager). 
  • Not an inspirational choice IMO
