Costello 77 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 19 minutes ago, DSandersonOWL said: Properly described they are not <long pointed arrows> and they are not replacing <parentheses> but are a form of quotation marks that has existed since early 16th century printing. May be called <guillemets>. No longer in common use in England but I am very old-fashioned. In proper English the plural of <parenthesis> is <parentheses> as you will find in the authoritative Oxford Dictionary!! This is all very <Owlstalkish> going off in random directions. The original question was <Is Monk a proper manager?> And what does<proper manager> mean? There is hope yet that he is, after yesterday, but after Wednesday on Tuesday who knows? That's a long winded apology.. but I accept.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back the classic I prefer to call it 'iconic', because of how recognisable and brandable it is. From a marketing perspective it should've been embraced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a marketing perspective it should've been embraced It's so identifiable and absolutely in line with all modern branding tenets. Simple, reproducible. Moving away from that kind of built-up identity is just stupid from a marketing perspective, tbh. Edited July 12, 2020 by Socialist_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he will be chuffed himself to have wasted a fortune on the likes of Rhodes, Van Aken and Abdi. At the end of the day he will feel it more than anyone cos most of the mistakes are his, he isn't trying to antagonise Wednesday fans, he's not an Oyston or even an Allen, we've got a good guy we need to keep faith i'd forgotten abdi, FFS why mention him again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like full transparency of how that all went down and who ultimately benefitted. We'll never get it, though.
