Had a listen, Keith Hill got a bit tetchy didn't he? 🤣

As i said on air I did feel like I got put on the back foot by the tone of some of his comments but overall he was really nice to me. Can’t complain really.
One thing that’s becoming clear to me is that ex managers have developed their world view of the footballing scene and see things in very black and white terms. Phil Brown has a similar way about him, and although I don’t agree with everything they say I do respect that it’s learned wisdom that has served them well at one time or another.

I thought Tom King's comments on the players who were told they could go and then were signed up again was very interesting. You do wonder what thought process was behind those decisions

I'm sure that was the situation with Adrian Mariappa and perhaps one other player as well?

Thanks Danny. Very interesting debate. I've absolutely no idea as to who i'd prefer as manager but they need to be strong willed, good communicators, left alone to manage as well as having the right coaching, medical and recruitment structures in place to back them up. From the outside that doesn't appear to be the case at present!

TK mentioned Lund and possibly Smith, I didn't quite catch the second name as the dog was barking!

I thought Mariappa talked to us, refused a deal because he could get better elsewhere…..only to come back to us when the other deal fell through.
