Austin MacPhee

[Pat McMahon]

He seems not to have a big ego too.

After the final in Istanbul we stayed in the ground lapping it all up and as we were on the halfway line we moved to the right where the families were located in block 114. Somebody shouted to McPhee “was the first goal one of yours?”To which he replied “No, it was Youri’s goal”

Nanny McPhee getting some praise.

Given the three players that have just left the building I wonder what the plan is for set pieces

[eamonn]

He's not leaving too, is he?

[Todd Packer]

John Townley has just announced that Austin is leaving to join Chelsea.

Said his goodbyes today  :'(

[aev]

Yup….

[Mellin]

Can we charge them £117m?

[Dogtanian]

Thought it was strange how much positive press he was getting this summer.

[aev]

Swapping him for Jackson etc…

[Ozzjim]

What the hell is going on this summer.

Considering his impact and some of the goals we scored from set plays, this is a bloody horrible blow.

Numerous player changes. Coaching staff changes.

This summer certainly feels like revolution rather than evolution.

yep. There's more to come. However given his value to much of what we do, I hope either someone will step up internally or we bring in the next talented coach as an expert in this field.
