I really don't understand why there appears to be so much disrespect and dislike for Paul Barber. He's at the top of his game and is so important to the club that TB has extended his contract until 2030.
Because we won't risk getting to the start of next season not knowing if our manager might leave.
This way, we can appoint soon, have a full pre-season and influence the recruitment in good time for the new season. Makes perfect sense to me.
I think our "golden generation" have not even matured yet. I believe we'll see beautiful, skillful football in attack and more defending at the back when the new manager comes in - and my guess is that we'll kick on.
I loved what RdZ did for us, I liked his approach and his personality, but I...
Nothing to report on our new garden yet (though I will share pics of the pleached crab apple hedge when I finish it). Running through the lanes around our new home and I'm loving the red campion and cow parsley combo replacing the bluebells and wild garlic.
God, I love the changing seasons.
It's quite an impressive list to choose from:
Lamptey - Milner - van Hecke - Pervis
Solly - Hinshelwood - Lallana - Mitoma
Ferguson
I'm going Mitoma, with Young Player Injury of the Year going to Hinshelwood.
Tony Bloom, Tony, TB, The Chairman maybe. Just using "Bloom", the way it was done in that sentence, sounds sneery and disrespectful to me. But we're all different aren't we.
