Considering not bothering this time to free up spare time and avoid giving anyone the satisfaction of ending my streak ;)

Heads up, today is the Racing Post's betting guide "The Big Kick-Off".  An orgy of stats and analysis.  Grist to those tricky Fantasy Football team selections - or those who like to be able to bring facts to pub football arguments (generally lots of interesting nuggets - just how "streaky" are various strikers, who's the dirtiest player, which refs should fans fear etc).

Yep, didn't see that coming at all.
He wanted to buy Peter Crouch earlier this year apparently!! Maybe there were some differences of opinion on transfer targets...

Well that ruined or chances of doing anything this season he lasted 1 game less than mark robins.
So do we still get the award for first manager sacked or pullis as the prem league season has not kicked off yet?

Following from Mark Robins departure our chairman has been interviewed. Turns out Mark Robins quit

“It was an interesting situation. I wasn’t actually at the game – I was away on holiday – but obviously it was a catastrophic defeat and performance. I put a call straight into the Chief Executive Nigel Clibbens and he said Mark  had approached him and he would be giving me a ring.

“Mark dealt with the press and gave me a ring. It was quite simple – Mark told me that he thought he’d lost the respect of the fans; that he couldn’t do right for doing wrong and that the fans were totally against him. He could not see any way of recovering that position. He also said he thought the players had gone and also admitted he had picked the wrong formation (in 3-5-2) against Bournemouth.

“He said to me that he’s not a quitter and doesn’t want to be seen as one, which is fine. He said he probably should have gone last season when we changed his backroom staff and tried to support him – we identified last season that his backroom staff wasn’t giving him what’s required, so we helped him along and changed them to try and be supportive. He felt that maybe that was the time that he should have gone and we should have had a chat then, but at the same time he realised we had tried to be very loyal to him and give him support. He really wanted to get it right and repay us at the Club as well.

He didn’t want to quit, but at the same time he had the best interests of Huddersfield Town at heart. He said he liked working with me, Nigel and Ross, but at the same time he wanted to do what’s right for the Club and that’s where we needed to base our chat.”

See Crouch didn't sign up to defend his title.  Bad show, not playing because you might lose is 5yr old behaviour.
And Jasper's team name is out of date already.

Very bad show. Thought more of him than that.
