Exiled in Toronto

And from my point of view none of it for the better. After being told that we would not be importing a large number of Fourth Division backroom staff from MK Dons we find that's exactly what we are doing. Ince, Mathias, Robinson, Francis, and now suggestions that Tuttle will arrive.

Is it just me or is there something distinctly disappointing about a club that finished 7th in the Premier League assembling a backroom team from the bottom division? I'm beginning to wonder where this next level is that we are preparing to reach.

Since Hughes had been allowed to fill EVERY position with his Wales mates - sacking Parkes, pensioning off Darracot etc. - this was always a problem going to happen. No matter who we had got as manager, they would have had to import at least half a dozen others. I would have thought that the Chairman would have considered this when recruiting the manager: that he was actually recruiting an entire football management structure rather than an individual.

Ince can't be blamed; he has all these vacancies to fill so has to fill them with people he is comfortable with. The question is: are they all 4th division calibre, or did Ince, even in a lowly job, surround himslef with people who met his exacting Man U/Inter/Lpool standards? Personally, I would think the latter, but we'll see.

No.

Things are not THAT bad.

Are you sure? Really sure? There appear to be more than a few squeaky bums on here at the moment, Nicko. :rock:

Won't be the one Nicko is talking about, but at least it's something to look at.

Indeed, but we may be a tad more realistic about what the future may hold.

We are realistic Zulu - We are of a similar size to your club but Fact is our team is much better than urs and we do not fear relegation, your lot do! Shame!

Not sure about that but I'm fairly confident that we'll be watching better football than them on't moors.

Jesus, theres a lot of Villa fans on here! :o

SSN are trumpeting the resignation of John Wardle at Ci'eh as though it's something significant. Wonder if Nicko can shed any light on the latest development at the Beswick circus before he shoots of to see Westlife?

That prompted to pop out to get a coke- very refreshing!

don't want to be melodramatic but selling Brad now would be like flogging off Clayton or Douglas at the end of their careers. Not the same obviously but about as close as you can get to it in this day and age.

Friedel is talismatic charismatic and automatic-ally our keeper. I don't care if we get a "silly" offer- we cannot sell him, surely?

It isn`t so much what we would get for him,it is a case of how much would it cost to replace a player of his calibre. :wacko:
