    I don’t think MON will be doing much managing this is Maloney being the head coach and MON doing Desmond a favour to stop total fan outrage if Maloney was put in charge. It was always strange him taking the player pathway job.

    I really don’t mind it as an interim.

    But I don’t think I’ve processed it yet.

    Aye, this is it...

    The board will be hoping MON can unite and take the pressure of them.. that coupled with the statement killing Rodgers

    When Maloney is given the job I'll be taking the 6 months he is in the job off from watching the team

    Definitely think they would have approached Ange.

    Fact they have hired MON makes me think he's said no

    They're so reactionary I'm surprised they didn't appoint Henrik as assistant.

    Preposterous on the face of it

    Unless Ange has said no or he needs a week to get back from Oz rehiring MON has debacle written all over it

    My biggest worry is that if we somehow beat the huns he'll be offered a 3 year contract in the showers

    Give the team total support these games coming up. They will need it but let the board know they are *

    They were more qualified. More like the Chuckit brothers.
