Michael Skubala’s style of play focuses on a modern, possession-based approach rooted in his extensive futsal background, emphasizing intelligent spacing, structural fluidity, and intense, calculated pressing

If we have no money as been reported then it's unlikely we'll bring in an outsider short term.

That leaves us with the few Experienced players we have plus King who I wouldn't trust to do a job. 

We will bring in an outsider—just probably not one currently in a job. This will limit the field considerably, but will still be preferable to handing responsibility over to someone with zero managerial experience.

My brother went school wit his Brother.  He is from Croft.

[STUHILL]

Steven Gerrard for me. 

 

No, I don't think he is the best we could get OR will solve all our problems. But, I do believe he would take ZERO crap from these overpaid bunch of nobheads. 

 

That's enough for me right now.

Yes he is. I was in the same class with him at primary school.

Hopefully the Febreeze money is keeping him ticking along so he doesn't need to take the Leicester job.

Saw this ad on TV earlier and thought, blimey, old Russell has put on a bit of timber!

I take it back. If this is the quality of your banter, go nuts man, get chatgpt to write it for you.

On the EFL podcast they say that Lincoln are super direct. That's backed up by the fact that they have the lowest possession in the division across the season.

You just know the little worm will hire someone that plays possession ball. The pep fetish still full of life. Phil

Probably explains the need for a high chair like what was explained earlier.

I am hearing Gary Rowett. Whilst his cv suggests he keeps us up it show just how far we have fallen.

That said if king gets a win v Charlton he is cheap and easy so it will him based on very little.

Is that the word on the mean streets of Co Cincinnati?

[Miella27]

It needs a complete rebuild. If we could persuade him and afford him, I’d look at Mark Robins. He completely rebuilt Cov, he knows the division and the club. It’s whether he’d want it tho.

 

King’s a ‘Yes man’, he was as a player and I don’t think he’d be strong enough as a manager. 
 

I know others have said he (Robins) wouldn’t touch it, but I’d still argue that our infrastructure (Training ground/stadium) gives us an advantage over Stoke, but that won’t count for much in 2-3 years time, when the playing squad and budget diminishes further. It’d be worth asking the question, I’d say.

Rudkin will see that Tim Walter is currently unemployed and have a contract ready for him to sign by 8pm

IF we’ve got any money, this is the only viable option

[Fox in the house]

Robbie Keane before spurs get him .

[OriginalRobboFOX]

It has to be a free agent. We aren’t paying compo for anyone.

That criticism comes up a lot, so it helps to respond calmly and confidently rather than defensively. Here are a few good ways to handle it, depending on the tone you want.

Calm and reasonable

“I still think for myself. I use ChatGPT the same way people use books, calculators, or colleagues—to check ideas, get unstuck, or see other perspectives.”

Professional / work-oriented

“Using tools efficiently is thinking. The responsibility for judgment, accuracy, and decisions is still mine.”

Direct but not rude

“Getting help doesn’t mean outsourcing my brain. It means I value improving my thinking.”

Slightly sharp (if they’re being smug)

“Using available tools isn’t laziness—it’s how problem-solving has always worked. Refusing tools doesn’t make someone deeper, just slower.”

Reflective / disarming

“If ChatGPT helps me ask better questions or challenge my assumptions, that’s thinking—just not in isolation.”

If you want a one-line principle you can keep in your pocket:

“Tools don’t replace thinking; they amplify it.”

And if you want to shut it down entirely:

“What matters is the quality of the outcome, not whether I stared at a blank page alone.”

If you tell me who said it (friend, coworker, professor, online stranger) and how confrontational they were, I can tailor a response that fits that exact situation.

Give it to Jon Rudkin. Best fvcking chance of getting rid of him
