He was never going to publically call DiCanio a twat for being ridiculously over the top was he....

That's what the media want though isn't it? A bit of a war between PDC and somebody, anybody.

I notice that this news was considered important enough to go beyond the League Two section on the BBC website. Would this have been the case if Macclesfield manager through a hissy and his chairman backed him? Nope.

It's bizarre how our decent unbeaten run under PDC gets zero attention yet a few quotes from an irked PDC and we're in the main news section.

Oh how they want this venture to fail.

I was listening to the show but hadn't seen your post.  Glad I stuck with it because I nearly turned over when Peter Winkleman came on.  Winkleman remains a cock, talking about bringing football to Milton Keynes as if he's on some sort of evangelical mission.  Prick.  You stole a club.  Evangelise that.

Wray, however, impressed me.  No nonsense, knows what he wants.  The programme focussed to a large extent on the pivotal relationship between a club's Chairman and its manager, and I can see how he and PDC would work well together.
