They once did 606 from the Crucible in Sheffield and I went as part of the audience.

Mark Chapman and the other guests, one might have been Clinton but I could be wrong, spent time talking to the audience during the news, weather and traffic breaks whilst Savage scurried off stage. During the show, he spent most of his time looking at his phone and posting on Twitter and when it was over, he dashed off the stage so fast, it was a blur whilst the others stayed behind for selfies and so forth.

 

Any liking towards the bloke disappeared that day

Fabrizio Romano now reporting that Rooney to Plymouth is done. I wonder if they’re appointing him because he saved them from relegation last season?

Karl Robinson takes the Salford job, apparently he still has one eye on the Tranmere job.

I can't work out the purpose of that article.

Sounds more about Ferguson and his dislike for Wednesday for Hirst not going there than anything else. 'Name me a player'. Fucking idiot.

Old news and lets be honest, in 2002 why would anyone recommend the Wednesday manager's job

This is David Moyes we're talking here, not Pep Guardiola.

 

Our biggest loss in recent years was Walter Smith or we should have gone for Jim Smith. 

I always thought a combo of Jim Smith and Roland Nilsson would have made us great. Based on nothing but potential

He was a rising star at PNE when a financially brassic Wednesday approached him.

Switched off! So embarrassing and annoying with all this talent Southgate plays these tactics. ****

Bayern don’t play like this, Man City don’t, Arsenal don’t, Real don’t. Southgate does.

That’s because they’re all clubs who want to win things.  Southgate is a PL club who are happy to stay up type manager, in charge of a team of Champions League players.

FAW have seen the light

I saw a few people in the media saying he’s been treated harshly! 
As an observer from afar, the team have looked toothless for so long, yes losing Bale was of course going to be a problem but the games I’ve seen have just looked flat. Bereft of ideas and about as inspiring as England v Denmark.

This is a good write up of Page's tenure with Wales. He should have gone after the World Cup as the signs were there, then. Extremely limited, tactically, and we have a decent crop of youngsters coming through. The u21s top their qualification group. The objective for the next coach should be the next Euros. If we scrape World Cup qualification then fair play but it needs a four year plan

Lorient got relegated last season and Le Bris took a lot of flak for it. His spending meant they had the 8th biggest wage bill in Ligue 1 but the team never gelled. He kept chopping and changing and at times played suicidal Keeganesque football instead of picking the games he could get results out of and shutting up shop in others. They got done on goal difference after needing an 8 goal swing on the last day.

Last I heard was that it's tired. Very, very tired.

 

Handy for the town centre though.

Lad and his girlfriend are going to a gig in Scarborough and are staying in the Grand.They were saying it’s being renovated but at a very slow rate.

I was in Bridlington on Friday,a day out on the motorcycle.Lovely weather and while ambling around I took note of the football shirt wearing adults.The count was:-                                                     Wednesday (a) 3                                        Arsenal (h) 1.                                               Barnsley (a) 1.                                            Leeds (h) 1.                                                Man.Utd (h) 1.                                           Newcastle (h) 1.                                          Notts.Forest (a) 1.                                      Is that a recommendation for Bridlington or do we have poor taste?

More a sign that we have too many adults that still wear football shirts

And back to the managerial merry go round. 

Bit late on this one, as it happened on Friday, but Graham Coughlan has been sacked by Newport. Difference of opinion with the owner on the direction of the club.

On to my other job of hotel inspector, then we stayed at the Britannia because we had a gift voucher pressie to use and not fancying Redcar or Hartlepool really. 

So it was Mrs MK who said let's try it, because if nothing else it is an iconic building in Scarborough. Indeed it was first opened in 1867 

But we had read the reviews so there was a degree of trepidation, but our room was more than adequate. But we did see a few moaning at reception and another lady actually held the door for me "the less time I spend in there the better" was her reason. So I think it's a lottery.

My overriding reaction is the tired theme but there was evidence of refurbishment going in. Equally what type of hotel is it trying to be. There were the coach parties, a Norwegian school contingent, weekenders on the piss and more genteel crowd. 

A lot of wasted space but then the reception is small and incorrectly placed, the bar was small and next to reception. So you had 2 queues plus folk going through to the exit. To get to our room via the lift we had to walk past the small games room. Really ?

So a place that needs more staff for sure, the sun terrace that overlooks the South Bay needed hosing from the seagull shit, get rid of stuff that appeals to the chav crowd, who the fuck wants bingo these days. And focus on the historical architecture in the lobby. 

I mean you could spend £20m easy but you would never get the financial return as you would not get the  numbers. But if you focus on the sell it cheap crowd, coach parties you will never make the profit to invest

Thierry Henry being mentioned for the Wales job just because he did his badges there and is good mates with Osian Roberts 

He was doing a pretty good job in Montreal in the MLS, managing them, before he got homesick

He's got the French u21s and their Olympic squad and is being touted as the next national manager after Deschamps leaves. 

He's not going to hang his reputation on our job, especially when all we can pay is ten bob and a go on Sharon from Swansea after she's finished her kebab. 

Craig Bellamy, on the other hand...

Scott Parker set for Burnley job

Interesting choice considering he did jack all at Bruges in his last job. Also has a habit of blaming the owners when things go tits up.

Rumours in Germany that Klopp will be offered the US national job

That's probably just because Tim Howard was saying on TV they he thinks he can talk him into taking it.

Do you think he would take the England job, Ty?

The Germans are trying to keep Naglesmann by hoping Klopp takes on a Beckenbaueresque ambassadorial role
