   Paul, compadre,
   You might be surprised that I am in general agreement with you over Vincent’s shocking procrastination over Bulut. My remedy though is different.
   Sack him now, dear Vincent: it will concentrate your mind most wonderfully.

   As for your comments Paul re Dave Jones: I again agree entirely re your view of the thrilling attacking football his teams served up. And I was cheered Paul by you relating his 2009 failure to get two points out of the final twelve points available for us to make the playoffs… and that included a fatal, shameful 6-0 capitulation at Deepdale, which enabled Preston to gain the final playoff place on goal average, by just a solitary goal.

   But if that was a stain on Jones’s management CV, what followed that ‘close season’ was much more damaging.

   In an interview with the English media, Jones astonishingly said that he was disappointed with some City fans in that they were knocking him for missing out on the playoffs, and added words to the effect that they did not know they were born, as we only missed out because our goal average was one goal the poorer.

   No mention of getting only one point from the final twelve… and a six goal disaster!! Mind blowing effrontery: even that Master of Chutzpah, the egregious Mick McCarthy, might have blushed were he to deliver such prevarication that is surely straight out of the Black Arts Playbook.

   TTFN,
   Dai.
