Has anybody else read the Brum Mail article on Mcleish's report from his Browns trip? Very cringeworthy imo

I've just read it and it seems the usual bland managerspeak. Neither cringeworthy nor inspirational.

Agreed, nothing worthy of note. Time better spent at Bodymoor Heath anyone?

Not a lot, more of an 'opportunity cost' than anything.

Those 'jokes' going around with AMc with pen to paper and 4-5-Bent on it aren't far from the truth !
