Excellent news!

Am really happy with this appointment - and I expect the players are too. Having said that, if they don't all turn up for training tomorrow wearing their Championship winners medals I'll be seriously disappointed in them! :wink:

Maguire Can't wait for us to start dropping it onto Ricky Lambert's head on the back stick.

Oh hang on, we don't have Ricky Lambert.

Hope he's got a plan B :!:


Billy Sharp, Jay Rodriuguez :lol: :lol:

He's going to be in a bit of trouble if tries to drop it onto the head of our own Jay on the back stick.

What this really highlights was McD's "gung-ho" attitude, constantly going for the win. More wins, but a lot more defeats.

FWIW I'm not impressed with Adkins.

What time was this announced? Only, Ady Williams was saying at half 5 that he felt very strongly that due to the betting patterns and a load of stuff on social media (!) he thought we'd annouce our new manager in the morning and it would be Adkins. :roll:

Surely it's better to have a good win percentage over more games?

Do we have to do it in one go? Did we get promoted earlier than expected? Do the toaster generation really have to have something straight away or could we not have tried the West Brom approach, been patient and built the club up with a manager who actually cares about the club.
