    Managerial merry go round

    Kieran McKenna set to reject contract offer from Ipswich: Chelsea, Brighton and possibly his former employers Manchester Untidy believed to be interested.

    Stripping them of all four titles remains a viable option too.

    League 1 2024/25

    No one knows until squads are completed. Elsewhere: Bolton will have spent their £5m Covid windfall. Peterborough seem to be living solely in anticipation of cash increments from previous sales. It will be amusing if they do not materialise. Wycombe have an Azerbaijani billionaire but no...

    League One & League Two Play-Offs Thread

    I always consider the advent of the play-offs in 1987 to be the first real sign of intent from the big clubs that everyone else could sod off. Remember, the play-offs only came about as a concession to them wanting to reduce the size of the First Division.

    No, just a desire to see football's perennial cheats not prosper for once.

    Caernarfon Town qualify for Europe for the first time with a 3-1 win over Penybont (Bridgend). Makes a nice change from Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc.

    The new owners, who took over the club back in December, still do not own it. Just shoot them and put them out of every one else's misery. Just imagine the uncertainty, had Southend somehow made the play-offs and won.

    League One & League Two Play-Offs Thread

    Two horrible, cheating clubs: what a pity they couldn't both be losers. Oxford relegated by Christmas. More money wasted, more BS about this fantastic new stadium funded by fantasy and magic, and more irreconcilable debt. One dive by an Oxford player in stoppage time was extraordinary, both...

    Puzzle Picture

    Looks like Barry (Clements?) who was the groundsman from the early 1980s, so it would appear to be (c). In those days, close season work on the pitch effectively meant forking the bald patches and sprinkling some grass seed in the general area. I do remember the grass being very long during...

    Jaden Brown Question

    Just had a quick look at Brown's record at St Mirren - eight appearances including only one start (which came two days ago against Hearts): P8 W1 D2 L5 F9 A16 Most of those appearances came as a late substitute.

    Former ROI manager Stephen Kenny, who was linked with the Lincoln job last season, has joined St Patrick's Athletic on a five-year deal.

    Jaden Brown Question

    He means a player contracted to Lincoln - Huckerby had been sold to Newcastle. First time in Europe since 1987 for St Mirren - they will probably be knocked out by some part timers from Iceland.

    Around the Grounds

    I stay in Swindon four times a year and go past the County Ground - it all looks a bit run down and unloved. They always seem to attract dubious ownership, earning the unfortunate Swindle Town nickname. Shame really, there is decent potential there.

    Summer Transfer Rumours

    My memories of Bob in a Lincoln shirt are probably tainted by a particular incident at a home match. Bob was having his usual game (i.e. not opening up defences); as the drum majorettes marched past the SB terrace at half time, a voice shouted, "Take that hat off Latchford, we know it's you."...
