Eric Black

So with Remi gone another assistant steps into the breach. He's an ex Cov and Motherwell manager so has some managerial experience. What is he like in regards playing style / discipline?

Truthfully, no idea. Most likely going to be in place until the end of the season because the incoming manager won't want relegating us on his cv (regardless of the fact he wouldn't have been responsible). Will be gone straight after the last game.

Wiki says a 33% win percentage, so a vast improvement on what's gone before him.

 Even if he has a style of play and discipline  he'll be 1 up on poor Remi

Who knows what to expect at this club! Chances are Black will be there in eight games time, but not for much longer after that, so make the most of it sir and maybe give us one or two wins to go out on.

How do you get this bunch of unconfident/arrogant/uncaring players to do what they're being asked to do. He's on to a loser here and I feel bad for him already.

That said, best of luck Eric.

If he bombs off three players (and I use the term loosely) to train alone far far away from the rest of the squad that'll do me

Black.  Somehow that is the perfect name for our temporary pall bearer.  Caretaker manager? No, more Undertaker manager.

Don't bet on it. This bunch of wasters are capable of more unwanted records.
