This is my last post on this account! I did say that before Danny left the club, I naively assumed if Danny left Tommy would be going with him. Oh well... It's been emotional ;)

Spot on. Let's get behind our manager.

My new account will be TopCat, look out for him ;)

Well I don't. Danny is a nice guy in public and because he won a cup he is a club legend. However, he was well paid to do a job in his time here and he leaves with his reputation intact. There are plenty of ex players who will tell you a story about being stabbed in the back by Danny, right back to John Potter and Gareth Wardlaw, right up to Lee Mair and 3 seasons worth in between. Forgive me if i lack sympathy now it's apparently happened to him. He's history, let's move on and look forward.

You don't know he's been stabbed in the back at all. Anyway, if he has, who cares? It's a big bad world out there. Danny will get a new job, he and we move on. Tommy Craig is our new manager, let's all get behind him and our club.

A McPherson-esque appointment! ;) I think this will work. I predict a 25 year record high finish for us next season (above 8th).

I think Danny left because a couple of important relationship break downs and his failure in the transfer market more than on pitch performance. I imagine the board couldn't trust him to rebuild this summer after the mess he made of it last year, and their lack of trust is completely justified. Now we have a new man with the final say on transfers and some fresh ideas on the coaching side.

It's definitely growing on me. We will get fresh coaching ideas and contacts from Teale and Goodwin. We will retain and perhaps enhance our relationship with Newcastle United, along from benefitting from Tommy's large network. I think we could be onto something here

Nope, he was player assistant.

It's like the shop steward becoming the manager no? The captain's meant to represent the players interest to the management and coaching staff. Alas it's a minor detail, if Thommo does get the armband then fair enough.

Surprised Goodwin's been named as a coach. Would have thought that was a conflict of interest with him being captain too.

Let's all get behind our new manager! Best of luck TC.

Why?

So, has it been confirmed yet?

Could be Craig as caretaker to sort out the contracts while the Board look for a replacement.
