New boss needs his own thread.

My first thought is that he's not even wearing a suit in his unveiling photos in the official site. We have sartorial standards at AFC, you know.

According to Graham Spiers it's all over for Robinson and the announcement will be either tonight, which given the time it is now seems unlikely, or tomorrow.

I’m suing Mr Spiers for RSI brought on by repeatedly hitting the browser refresh button to no avail…

Thanks pal. At least I managed to burst into a wee bit of song at ma desk first thing on a Monday morning.
Cheers for that 🍻

There's a thought, how about ex-player Tom Jones as the new manager?

It’s not unusual to go down the ex player route but it hasn’t really worked before

Fuck sakes, I really should read the whole thread

He came from nowhere though as a player so could maybe do the same as a manager!?

The final line of Phillip Larkin's poem 'Going Going' is "I just think that it will happen, soon".

Apposite.

Going from bad to verse.

Seems to be a few outlets saying his departure is imminent .

Traditionally the next stage ( once he leaves) is the players mentally absolve themselves of any blame

New manager in ....hobble down the road for a bit ...rinse and repeat

To the dogs?

As for gone, I’ll believe it when I see it.

The fact he’s actually still here as I type given the board we have in charge is the least surprising thing in this whole saga to me…

Journal and EE posting that he’s sacked

The good news is that Kerr & Craigan are punted as well 👍

He had to go but I'm not looking forward to the next month or 2. Can't be fucked with a caretaker manager 'steadying the ship', can't be arsed with the odds on to be next manager pish, can't be arsed with trusting the board to eventually get the right guy in and I can't be arsed with giving who ever it is they get in time to get their own players in.

Yes, I'm a miserable fecker but that's what supporting this club does to you.

Stuart Duff is helming the good ship AFC for now.

The only caretaker in the house is Duff. He's not going to be there for more than a match I'd guess.

Cormack has one thing at his disposal to bail himself and the club out at this stage: his cheque book. Time for him to accept that running a football club is a lot different to grifting yank OAPs out of their 401k and life insurance schemes.

Finally.

What an absolute clusterfuck appointment. Probably the worst one yet.

I mean last year’s team was dire, but this guy & this board have actually made us worse. This squad is genuinely up there with the worst I have ever seen - and I’ve seen some amount of shite this last 30 years.

Quite the achievement that.

Let’s just draw a veil over this whole sorry saga and never speak of it again.

See you all in 9-12 months…
