The only long term solution is the restoration of all of Ukraine's borders to pre 2014 position, the removal of Putin's dictatorship and the establishment of democratic and accountable government in Russia. Then move onto China.

Good point.

I looked at Slade as well. We might have tapped him up but he left Yoevil on 16th February and was appointed at Brighton on March 6th. From the Guardian at the time. 'Russell Slade has left his post as the manager of Yeovil Town, the club have today confirmed. Rumours had been gathering since...

From a Charlton forum. 'Just finished his book mentioned on here recently. Well worth a read. I had not appreciated he became Charlton captain at only 19. Was interesting to read that when Alan Mullery signed for Spurs, Bill Nicholson asked if he could play at right back, apparently because he...

I looked at Bailey. Its a bit hard to tell but it appears he fell out with the Charlton owners and left and then we picked him up. I could be wrong though.

Is Mr Potter the only manager in our entire history we have taken from another club whilst they were actively employed as a manager at that other club? I have done some quick wiki research and it appears so which is remarkable if true. Happy to be corrected if someone knows better.

I think you need to read what i wrote again. I wasn't trying to justify the abuse. I was just pointing out that it was to some degree a predictable outcome from the decision that was made. We don't live in a perfect world. Whether we like it or not, every action we take has consequences. Some of...

Any abuse is unwarranted and should cease. However, actions have consequences and when you are a relatively public figure and recognisable and contactable by a large number of people, it's likely that a small number will abuse you if you upset them. It's not right but it happens. It was entirely...

How would you clean the full length pool mirror? In fact the whole house looks a nightmare to clean. Dunky must spend all his down time cleaning.

I think you will find that those experiences that Emma Hayes doesn't have are the things that would have given her leadership skills, football knowledge and coaching skills in the men's game which I think we can all agree, is significantly different to the women's game. I am not saying it is...

Wouldn't the bigger problems be that she never really played football at any level (injury), has not managed a men's team at any level, and has neither coached or managed players anywhere near the physical, skill and tactical levels required the the English Premier League.

Regarding next managers. How can Potter be the favorite for the England job (Sly Bet currently 2-1). The England job is likely to be available in January when Potter will have had only 3 months managing Chelsea. I suppose it is possible he could be available by January.

Tony Bloom said (at a fan forum) that Hypia was a very poor communicator (between owner and manager I presume rather than players and manager, although it could have been poor communicator full stop). That was something that should have been picked up during the appointment process and maybe it...

He is not an idiot but he's not infallible. Sami Hypia was a mistake. I would say hes has got 5 out of 6 correct though!!

And John Morling Academy Manager.

I would suggest that all top clubs have a hire and fire policy in terms of all staff (not just managers). You seem to be suggesting that Chelsea would be prepared to sit lower mid table for 3 years while Potter gets rid of players who don't have the mentality or skill levels he requires. This...

Appointing Emma Hayes would be like appointing Dave Brailsford or Warren Gatland, good coaches in completely different sports.

The Richard III visitor centre is good.
