Looking at the dates, possibly a Cooper signing - didn't PDC go at the start of 2013?

Looking at our manager list we have now had 10 managers (inc Caretakers) since PDC....

yeah, Jedtastic.

Power seems to have become a director of the FC in 1/8/13, so not impossible he was calling shots I suppose

Possibly should be in the managerial thread but just shows how bollocks modern football is...

Murty has been sacked. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43961178 now the way Rangers and the media have been wanking over Gerard I assumed he had been sacked weeks back, and clubs witter on about loyalty!

Good piece in today's Graun on this:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/may/02/steven-gerrard-foolish-manager-dysfunctional-rangers

I especially enjoyed "Barring delusion or huge ego, Gerrard must realise he would be pitching up at the OK Corral with a utensil from the Early Learning Centre"

Smiley Nice metaphor.

Gordon Strachan was slightly less articulate on Talksport about it all. He said you think you know, you think you can handle it, but ultimately its not that easy. Oh and he mentioned John Barnes, obviously.

I don't think it's the most outrageous thing to suggest that football programmes are dated and probably belong to a bygone era now.

Keep them for cup finals et al.

At £10+ a time don't think many people can afford them after paying Wembley prices for tickets/parking/food etc.

I'll weep a tear when they go. Even if I never look at them, they are a living record on my shelf of every English game I've ever been to. I've started going to Red Star these days, and am distressed they don't do programmes.

I had a quiz question recently. Which Paris based side won Ligue Un, in 35/36.  I went Red Star on the basis of not knowing any others, but the answer was Racing Club. Apparently still going.

You have got to wonder how London can sustain 12 professional league clubs and Paris 1 or 2?
