Read that incorrectly and thought he was staying with a lesser known member of The Wombles.

Christ on a bike, I don’t care what he sounds like. I didn’t become a football fan because I was a fan of the post match interview. I’ll be backing our new little boring Frenchman 100%.

Interestingly, this Guardian article from earlier on last season paints Puel in an entirely different light. Admittedly they finished poorly and also weren’t scoring, but they did seem to have a number of injuries. I get the impression he’d prefer to play daring attacking football, but knows the result is more important, and if you don’t have the resources to go all out attack, at least make sure you’re not conceding. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/oct/22/sounthampton-claude-puel-manchester-city

Nah, can’t see Giggs getting it. He may have been a big name as a player, but he certainly isn’t as a manager. Surprises me that if he’s so desperate to manage that he hasn’t been linked with any jobs in the lower leagues. In other news, Puel is favourite again.

Yeah just noticed his odds have plummeted. Not that odds means anything.

Let’s just throw a poll up so if anyone from the club is looking they’ll see we’d prefer no manager at all.

Can he play in midfield?

I knew what clip this would be even before opening the post. Still got the original MoTD on my sky box for whenever I need a pick me up. Even the usually irritatating Jonathan Pearce saying that a team playing football that mesmeric deserves to win the league makes my hairs stand on end.

There are certainly some eerie similarities between Devon Loch and this transfer saga.

Well, for anyone that cares, he’s apparently at the races today. Gambling and then perhaps heavy drinking could be a worthy pastime while he waits for January.

The three things I've learnt through 100+ the Adrien Silva transfer debacle: 1) Nothing 2) The value of the Pound against the Euro 3) House prices in Leicestershire Also, that I should probably get a hobby.

Wouldn't surprise me if there's no actual announcement until they have a photo of him at the training ground holding up a shirt.

Clearly the only reason for the delay is so we can announce him via some wanky 30 second twitter video. Bring back the old days when you made them hold up an scarf and snapped it on your phone.

2hr extension to get Silva. Phew.

Don't believe for a second this deal is hanging on Drinkwater's move - we're not going to fly him over to the training ground to, at 10:59 shrug our shoulders and lump him in a taxi back to Lisbon. Either they're finalising DD's departure or they're strengthening. Give me the latter.
