Taylor will be player-manager. The man has said so himself.

Of course he will be player manager, he is still registered as a player, it depends on whether he plays.

I imagine owing to Americanisationism (gotten). However, noted wordy Susie Dent seems less bothered.

I think it was because you were making too much sense about Flitcroft.

Use of American English upsets some on here.... Paul was at it recently with his use of license as a noun, I'm sure he'll have corrected it though.

Ah, thanks (and you too Reg). As mentioned previously, 'gotten' does have a pre-US use.

Still, there's always room on here for some priggishness.

Presumably he didn't resign but expressed an interest in leaving, otherwise we wouldn't have got compensation. Given the speed with which it happened i can't help thinking Power hasn't been that impressed.

According to the official site he did resign, I assume any compensation will be in lieu of any notice period etc.

At least we shouldn't have to endure RobertT's copy and paste match report every week anymore...that's one positive at least.

Any chance of you doing us the same courtesy?

I have mixed feelings about Flitcroft. His aim was to get us promoted back to League 1 and at this current time, we are well in the mix for both the play-offs and the automatic shake up.

His 'style' of football is pretty basic. Defenders are there to get rid, the midfield, well, not sure what they are there for really and the wing players to provide ammunition for Norris to shank, or Richards to put away.

His signings on the whole have been ok. Elsnik is a touch of class and Matt Taylor and Marc Richards' experience will be vital. Matt Preston was a good signing also and he was unlucky that he is now injured. Lancashire and Robertson are ok for league 2 but Dunne has been a big let down. The concern thinking ahead would be that this squad would need a big overhaul to even compete at league 1 level.

Its all well and good instilling discipline etc but the Vigoroux issue is a pain as he is by far our best keeper. Hasn't helped that RCC has started dipping his gloves in melted butter pre-match and cost us points either.

I'm 'meh' about it all really. I wish Matt Taylor luck, I would imagine he would want to play more football than we have seen but I doubt he'll completely overhaul the squad and keep things fairly similar. Power will need to act quickly to instill some semblance of normality, few managers out of work, Slade (no), Phil Brown (perhaps), Uwe Rosler (yes) and some rookie managers looking for work, Lampard, Bellamy and Sol Campbell (probably no to all at this juncture).
