He seemed very subdued when interviewed on Match of the Day on Saturday.

Am I okay? Am....I .....What I think you're asking me is, Am I okay? Let me tell you, i've worked in football for many, many years and....uncomfortable pause....i'm fully confident that i'm....okay.

I'm more concerned by the emotional state of those on here who just can't let him go. Take his photo out of your wallet, rip it up and move on. It hurts but bitterness is never a good state to be in.

 Interesting game tomorrow. Seems a good chance one manager will be out of a job on Wednesday.

I for one am utterly amazed that people are discussing the legacy of a former, high profile manager of ours on this thread.

What kind of madness is this?

I never knew until recently that Oliver Holt is the son of Emily Bishop.

Maybe MON caught the bloke who killed his dad with a shotgun.

He came back of his own accord a few years back.

I'll stop feeling bitterness towards him once the after-effects of his time at the club have subsided (which they are only *just* starting to). Deal?

I think if anyone ever questioned the ego of the man, this quote should end all debate -

- '"I don't want to sound wildly boastful, but not only am I the best man for the job, I am actually the only man for the job."

For a second I thought you were talking about O'Neill.

I now have indigestion.

Problem is it just comes across all Jilted John, "she's a slag and he's a creep, she's a tart, he's very cheap...". We all know that he left us in the lurch but it's two and half years ago now.
