sacré bleu

If the best our "expanded team of football experts" can come up with is Da Cruz, Windass and Winall we've got problems.

Gout

Maybe he thought that by doing the decent thing and being honest with them it would give them a chance to begin planning for their future and that they would repay that honesty by being fully committed till the end of the season? If so looks like he misjudged them

I think Monk is trying to make the best of what he's got which is not a lot. As the saying goes you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Sounds as though he's living in a different world to the rest of us. The players would do well to remember this and pull there fingers out Bill Shankly Quotes Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

Bulk buying I guess same as Witherspoon's. I had my own small pub and I could buy small quantities of real ale at about £72 for a 9 gallon keg. I don't think the club will buy enough beer to get big discounts.

I think those prices are what leased pubs normally pay for their beer. As I said previously in freehouses the cost is more like £1 a pint

To be fair a pint would cost the club approximately£1 a pint.

Good first impressions. Nice to hear someone that didn't harper on about the opposition's strengths.

Good post and I think youre spot on about Bullen. I think he has limitations as a coach and certainly as a manager, but he obviously tows the company line an says the right things to the chairman. I suspect this is because being at Wednesday is a nice steady job for him and it allows his wife to pursue her business in Sheffield and for his family to have a nice comfortable living without having to regularly uproot themselves.

Probably as good as we could expect. Would have been a lot happier if he had brought some new backroom staff with him though with some new ideas. I fear the status quo remaining which I feel has been stale for a long time. Anyway wish him the best and give him a 7

Really disappointed that the serial failure that is Lee Bullen is being kept on. He should have been shown the door when Carlos left. He may be a nice guy but you know what they say about nice guys

At least it's not Bullen.

After all this time it's somewhat underwhelming.

Roy Keane then?
