"Approach a club at this level". Makes you think they have a director of football and a panel of scouts.

He'll wear his Holmesdale tracksuit bottoms with his initials stencilled on everywhere he goes.

Proud owner of the twitter handle 'TheGafferNo1'. At that level, that's the sort of thing that can sway a club when hiring a manager.

Ah, the classic amphetamine pills on the head of a trowel design.

I've actually seen Maidstone play quite a few teams in that league when we were at that level back in the 90's.
Its effectively park football, so I'm not quite sure why the manager is acting all high and mighty about the standard & what to do at that level.

We were playing on village greens with a bit of rope around the pitch and dogs randomly running onto the pitch every so often.

Our twitter has been taken over by a kid fresh out of uni, it’s all memes and cringe shit like that and caters for people who say things like ‘big dub’ and have names with SZN on the end

It's utter amateurish shite, a microcosm of how the club is being run.

I've heard we've signed Odusina and Southam Hales. Challinor said it to Radio Tees I believe but nothing on the official site except for fucking tik tok clips and gifs and that mad redundancy payout scam budget booster

Hit the nail on the head, it’s amateur hour, I’ve never felt so disinterested in the club as I do right now, too many warring factions in the fan base, combined with these pathetic budget boosts, the NWC, the most anti trust group essentially setting up their own trust, asking people to donate monthly into some random blokes bank account, thick as fuck.

Nowt worse than meme football twitter.

Contemplated changing my twitter name to Clinical Quigley just to fit in.

Add to that the blokes behind it have very dubious public views on race and other stuff yet the club is entertaining them! The Trust have 700 odd members (would have a lot more if it weren't for the smear campaign) and are by far our best for long term survival and is professionally run by normal decent blokes. If the budget booster cranks want to have a say in the club's direction join it and run for election if they don't like the people behind it. Not attack them at games and threaten them on social media. Very sad state of affairs.

‘The club are not seeking applications for the vacant position’

Money saving exercise?

Horrible decision. I'm guessing they brought Cowley in purely to keep them up and want to have another crack at getting promoted playing tippy tappy football on a bottom half budget?

What makes them so confident they can do that, and what's the point of going up if you're going to give the manager a shoestring budget in the Premier League like they did with Wagner?

Cowley should find another Championship job easy.

They've probably already found a replacement.

Might not even be the worst managerial sacking of the afternoon as apparently Watford are about to sack Nigel Pearson.

 

[Vanni]

I'm only going on what I heard the other week - this was before they were safe from the drop - but it seems that Huddersfield wanted more than 'merely' staying up when they appointed Cowley. If that's really the reason, then they were simply asking for a miracle when recalling that at the time of his appointment, the side had only picked up one point after seven matches.

I think they've had somebody else lined up for the job for a while now, and talk of expecting to finish in a much higher position was just a excuse to get rid of.

Watford are thoroughly unlikeable. Horrible team in a horrible place with horrible players, Troy Deeney is a particularly vile prick, the only TV show he deserves to feature on is Crimewatch. Hope Villa somehow pull out 2 wins to relegate them.

An the award for the longest wait for a reply to a post ever goes to..... knobhead number 1!

And I'm waiting for yours mate.

Why am I only able to access the site through a VPN?

Ta.

It's dogshit this place after these "improvements".

Having to click on everything a million times for it to actually do what you want it to.

Not just me then, I can’t get on using the home network either, tried all sorts and gave up

Sickening stuff. I have already called the police, don't worry.

I hate the fact almost every social media club account is seemingly run by unfunny teenagers.

You mean clicking on a thread and nothing happens right? Happened to me as well for 3-4 days but it was a couple weeks before the upgrade to the site.

Haha I came here to post this. Has to be the most insane think I've seen happen at a football club that isn't owned by Glenn Tamplin.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I also came here to post this, utterly mental.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Surely that's a spoof account?

 

[BarraMatt]

Rest in Peace Jude Be......oh.

 

[#Beebot]

It's the Birmingham Mail account, but it's been confirmed on their OS as well.

I could kind of understand a non-league club doing this but that's so cringeworthy from a Championship side.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Not much noteworthy has happened at Birmingham City for a few years, it must be said.

 

[EnglishRed]

Jude Bellingham? Never heard of her.

That is seriously tinpot, going to be hard to beat. I hope they at least gave him a testimonial. 44 Games, quite the achievement.
