And looks like Richard Madeley.

Didn't Richard Madeley used to present One Man and his Dog ?

I know Judy is a bit past it - but there is no reason to call her a dog.

the groundsman reported directly to MON

I don't mean MON could ask for the pitch to be watered or not or the dimensions to be set to his choosing that's a given at most clubs I assume
I mean the groundstaff reported directly to him

the man was a control freak

Like Clough with half the ability.
No way has MON got 1% of Clough’s talent.

The media are beginning to turn up the heat under him over here now.  He's come out and said ' there's no need for the FAI to appoint a new manager'.  When asked to elaborate his reply was 'because I'm good'.

Obviously the Republic of Ireland currently have nowhere near the talent available to them in the late eighties, nineties and even into the noughties, but their results have been poor and it doesn't help that even smaller countries like Northern Ireland and Wales have out performed them in recent years.

Purslow said as much. That essentially they had a PL plan and one for the Championship mapped out.

That's what you like to hear. It's pretty simple really but seems alien to a lot of folk / organisations.

Dare I say it, but this is starting to feel like what a Chelsea, Liverpool or Man City fan must have felt like over the last however many years.  Luiz looks like the real deal, a proper top 4 kind of player.

Well he's definitely got the business done very efficiently. We won't really know if it's the right business (in the main) until they get into competitive action, but it's certainly encouraging.

Well the important thing is that Sam Allardyce thinks he's doing a terrible job.
