[FishyMackem]

Updated.

Our weekly press conference has been switched from the training ground to the stadium this lunchtime, presumably something big. Likely to be relating to the manager.

Confirmed now that Humes has gone: https://twitter.com/Carl_Marston/status/669854812046008320

 

[SamScfc]

Are you going to appoint from within again or get a proper manager?

 

[dedwardp]

All fingers crossed for someone external! Would be the first time in six years that we've had a new voice come in.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Furious

 

[FishyMackem]

 

[FishyMackem]

Updated with Dean Saunders's departure.

Smith gone now too.

 

[FishyMackem]

 

[Richard Cranium]

Rumours JFH is leaving Burton according to some Burton journalist on Twitter too!

 

[FishyMackem]

There's a few vacancies in League One at the moment!

 

[JJ1532]

Nigel Clough is apparently set to take over at Burton, so that job will be off the market soon. The other 3 still seem up in the air.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Scunthorpe assistant manager David Kelly has jumped from 25/1 to 3/1 to get the Walsall job

 

[thewwfc]

Great news. Nigel Clough's Burton Albion can now revert to their full name, I never liked just plain "Burton Albion".

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Kelly is now 5/2 on Bet Victor - they must know something!

 

[earwig]

I much preferred JFHBAFC

Will our Nigel be as good second time around, mmmmm we'll have to wait and see

 

[FishyMackem]

Nigel Clough returns to Burton Albion.

 

[earwig]

Nigel's opening gambit
'The team are over achieving and we'll see if we can keep on overachieving , a mid table finish won't be seen as a failure.
Yes it bloody well will!

What about , This team is top of league 1 on merit and I'll do my upmost to keep them there ?

 

[McShambles]

Seriously, he said that?

 

[earwig]

He certainly did !

 

[Camborne Gills]

Compared to where we were this time last year, we are 'overachieving' , but I doubt that our manager would come out with that sort of nonsense. Might go some way to explaining why he failed at Sheff U.

 

[Dave-Vale]

He's right. Burton are over achieving by about 3 or 4 divisions.

 

[valefan16]

Its ok Rob Page said we are over achieving being 11th in League One (didn't go down well with the chairman nor fans!) bearing in mind we have a budget over 30% bigger than Burton and bigger than teams such as Walsall that are up there good old negative Page!

 

[earwig]

He's right. Burton are over achieving by about 3 or 4 divisions.

Haha, brilliant

 

[Dave-Vale]

I was trying to be nice!

He also said a lot of other things earwig, I could pick out several other statements he made and put a completely different spin on it.

 

[blade1889]

He made similar comments with us which went partly to him being shown the door. Comments about 6th place not being a failure, all the while ignoring the ridiculously large budget at his disposal.

 

[earwig]

Terraceman, I've not put a spin on anything, he said it.
He should be bigging the team up not questioning the teams right to be top of the league.
If this is going to be his style of management then we're in for a bumpy ride.
