So farewell then, Troy Deeney. The outspoken footballer/coach/pundit/rent-a-quote has been sacked by Forest Green Rovers, ending one of the least illustrious managerial spells in history. Deeney has been ushered out of the door marked Do One (Stroud railway station, five miles) after six games and zero wins in 29 days. Having first rocked up in Nailsworth as player-coach in August, Deeney was put in charge on 20 December after the previous manager, David Horseman, was humanely disposed of. He in turn had replaced Duncan Ferguson, another high-profile appointment that failed spectacularly. Might interim head coach Hannah Dingley have fared better than the two men that followed her? With four wins in 26 league games between them, the bar is lower than the club’s gas bill.
Thanks for the timely reference to Kurupt FM (yesterday’s Football Daily). Many is the time I’ve watched John O’Shea play in defence or Darwin Núñez sky a volley (or read Football Daily) and thought: ‘Yup, people just do nothing …’” – Mike Wilner.
Why should Ivan Toney pretend he is suddenly disinterested in the chance of playing for a title challenger (yesterday’s Football Daily)? Harry Kane was mocked by many as unambitious for staying so long at Tottenham. Brentford have been very good for Toney, but he’s been exceptional for Brentford as well. As a Bees fan, if he helps us stay up this season, you couldn’t begrudge him a move in the summer … for the right price” – Russell Wallman.
Re: Roger Noble’s letter on VAR (yesterday’s Football Daily letters). Hang on just a second. Is this the worst alias ever from another Noble known to write frequently in to this email? I think we need to know” – Patrick Fahy-Noble (and 1,056 others).
