It’s difficult isn’t it. Most ex footballers have the charisma of a wooden plank. There are very few who fit the criteria of being a club legend and who are engaging with a mic.

 

I reckon Fuchs would have been good, but no chance of him doing it.

 

Maybe Muzzy, still lives local and has done media and isn’t camera shy. I doubt he’d want it though.

 

Maybe a high(ish) profile fan is a good shout. Perhaps that DJ willy puller bloke, whatever his name is… Geoff Peters? Manish?

 

 

I strongly doubt that the club will replace birch when he does decide he can't do it anymore. I still remember when they first bought the club they tried to sack him and only reversed after fan uproar

[filbertway]

Only one man with the charisma and energy for the job, give it Fatawu!

 

[Graceroad]

If he provides as much comedy has he did on the pitch  Norman Leet would be a good shout

I remember that very well. Still leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

 

I also remember Birch recommending Pearson for the job the second time around. (Could one say he put the foundations in for us to win the Prem?)

They won't replace him. 

There's also nobody that could do the job.

 

The Birch has a pretty unique personality: sharp, super charismatic and almost has the confidence on the mic of a comic. It's very rare in anyone, let alone an ex-pro who's headed too many balls.

Couldn’t hear a word of it on Tuesday

That's mainly because the PA system in the stadium is awful TBF. Sounds like half the speakers have blown.

Piper 100%

Something about the Birch just makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

 

His presence just makes the atmosphere better.

 

What a legend.

[cruzFOX]

Not Chris Sutton or Robbie Savage!

[Daggers]

In the space of two days I created the online environment for us to win 5-0 and found the person who damaged Pipes’ car. So, me, I should do it. 
 

 

[TheStig]

Rudkin  -  he is made for the job. His positive never say die attitude would definitely stir up the atmosphere

@Ric Flair ?

Half time isn't long enough for those extended metaphors.

Heard Matt Elliott has been approached 

He’ll need a fence to sit on at half time.

[Clever Fox]

Captain Morgan might not be a bad shout.

It was so good having The Birch back before the game against Southampton. He can, and he does make a difference...

Made me think, the pre-match/halftime entertainment this season has been almost non-existent. Half time they read a few birthdays out, that's it.

 

I know The Birch can't be there every game, bless him, but who should we have to replace him??

The criteria is someone who has been a memorable ex player and who can work the crowd in a positive manner with a bit of charisma.

 

There must be at least one memorable player who fits that criteria.

so last time there wasnt this criteria then , just a vacancy for a loud mouth
