Have you just got back from the pub?

No, I just woke up, I've been asleep for 8 weeks, have I missed anything

Anyone seen the Facebook (we don't like) banter page tonight, lol

I'm taking their stance, I don't even care if the above rumour happens to be true (obviously it's a troll.....), I'm never going to a game again as they have sacked (although he was unemployed) Rohan!

Kearney will be the new coach with Brian smith as his assistant

Leon the first to sign up.

Henry Paul will NOT be the new coach. A big name is coming over apparently

Excellent news about Leon, completely unsurprising that the completely made up rumour about Henry turned out to be just that! It was never going to be Henry Paul.

Totally agree they would have started on a lie if they had

What's the betting by "big name", they mean someone who scores a triple figure score in scrabble rather than someone who we've all heard of?

I fail to see what we hope to achieve by bringing in a big name for 2017. A big name coach is used to working with big name players, and all too often would fail miserably when faced with a small and weak squad.

What we need is an experienced chap with a talent for grubbing away backs to the wall style. I can only think of John Kear as the sort that would make our small squad more than the sum of its parts, and give some semblance of fight against relegation.
