O'Driscoll..........Really ?

Are we really having a sensible discussion on here?

I'm in the process of turning over a new leaf.

Tell your friends!

That's not to say I won't engage in banter from time to time. Just a little less frequently....

Toronto ...now that statement is "iconic"

Indeed.

To be fair Toronto, it's sensible because everyone is talking sense.
should be a good few weeks for you guys as your dealings are going to come thick and fast.
Just hope your owners don't push these Kuwaiti players on your manager.

"Icon"

A person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something.

Purely subjective, SOD may be perfectly representative of what the new owners want to do. For example, produce a good footballing team without breaking the bank.

I'll admit, I had a little snigger when I heard the news last night. But, as seems to be the general consensus, it's actually both a decent and sensible appointment to have made.

I was genuinely hoping NFFC ended up with a Hoddle, a Sven or better still a Billy, but on the plus side i'm glad McCarthy seemingly rejected the job.

Honestly think this is the best first step for the new owners. SOD already knows the club and the players here, so he can effectively get to work on day one, without having to find out who's who.

What we will find out now though is how insistent the new owners are in pushing Kuwaiti players into the club. I've seen some good stuff from some of them, but that was on youtube and it WAS the Kuwaiti league.

SOD strikes me more as a continental-type 'coach' as much as he is a typical English manager - the potential appointment of Steve Coppell as DofF would fit with this, and may explain Mad Micks apparant rejection and any other difficulties in appointing a "big name". Assuming this is the structure they have wanted all along.

Blimey, can it really be true? Tonto's record has finally come unstuck? Is there perhaps a road to Damascus in Canada?
