Millsy Selles proving again he really is nothing special or at least we really can't tell because of other factors. Most likely file under forgettable crap like Pauno, Ince, Stam, Clement etc etc...


That's incredibly harsh. Given how he's brought this team together and the fan base during probably the worst period in this clubs history (at least in my lifetime).

It's not just harsh it's downright insulting actually.


What's insulting about calling him "nothing special" and then going on to say "we really can't tell" ?

In my opinion it is most likely that he is a forgettable manager. Not shite, just relatively meh.

I just don't follow the hype that because he's got some good results (in a lower league) and turned around his awful performance that therefore he is some sort of insanely amazing manager, second only to Coppell and McDermott as some have been laughably suggesting. I guarantee if we get a new owner, new investment and he gets a run of really crap results every single of one you will be saying he's shite and funnier still will pretend you knew all along.

BTW I really like the chap, we all do. NIce guy, not complaining, tough circumstances etc and obviously want him to be the next Coppell. I just think it's unlikely.

It might be wrong, but if it's "insulting" what can I say. But in this day and age people get insulted offended and triggered by all sorts of shit tbh so who knows. :lol:

Not going to reply to the other text as it's opinion based and you have yours, I have mine.

But in relation to your last point, i am not "triggered" and saying something is insulting, is not the same as offended. It's saying it's so incorrect to be actually disrespectful and deeply unfair.

Again, that is my view and you disagree, but I wanted to say this before you start posting stuff about it being woke or something.

Oh so now I'm just "disrespectful"? ;)

Fair enough buddy, seriously football especially is all about opinions dont' worry. I have a lot of them and only about 97% of them are wrong. :D

Walesonline supposedly reporting the Ruben is high on the Cardiff city wanted list.

According to James Earnshaw.

Why don't transfer windows apply to managers as well. Fine to sack a guy outside of a window but you'd only be able to appoint a replacement who is a free agent unless you wait for the next window to open.

Will probably go to the Wycombe manager but good to see Ruben get recognised.
