More good news

That is very good news. We need a bit of continuity and, dare I say it, some one to pick up the pieces if it all goes pear shaped.

Are you ever right Gary?

I think he's fucked off again as were all fascists to him

Nice one Zippy !!

Well after being at the depths of despair(football wise)this has put another notch on my upbeatomonitor after the encouraging news on Douglas.

And remember,Di Canio hasn't even arrived yet....the UPBEATOMONITOR will be rising even more soon :D

 Could this be a first?  Something on which the whole TEF can agree is a good thing.

Great news, good to see the board act on this.

So they don't mind giving Bodin a long term  deal, but wouldn't give Greer one?

...can some one answer this, because I don't even know where to begin..Jebus ::)

I was going to muster a "heavens to Betsy", but decided against it.

There goes Reg's observation.

...and here comes another Greer conversation.

 ::)

Oh come on, that wasn't serious. I'm delighted for Bodin.

Reg's statemet stands!  :beers:

Good news. Nice to see some loyalty in the game.

This is the big thing for me. Maybe he can be groomed into our next manager. Let's be honest PDC wont be here for more than 2 years is he?

I'll be amazed if he's here in 12 months let alone 24. With that in mind, I was not at all happy at the idea of Bodin moving on. I just hope that Bodin gets the input that he deserves and that his experience warrants. I get the impression from his book that Di Canio has an ego approximately the size of Belgium. I hope he is prepared to listen to the likes of Bodin because I think that will pivotal in his ultimate success or failiure.

The one thing that i did notice in the interview on world was dicanio acknowledged that it has always been about him and he has always been very selfish but he does also acknowledge that has to change in managment.

Let's hope he can do that.

He acknowledges in his book that on occasions in the past, he has behaved like something of a tool. If he realises that and can admit to it then hopefully he can learn from it and act accordingly. It's going to be interesting if nothing else :nod:

Clough acted a tool at times,so does Ferguson,you dont have to have a great outlook on life and be a conformist to become a good manager.
