Has anyone seen a figure quoted on the losses the rags will incur. Only 40 games means significant reduction in gate receipts, no cup money for progression into later rounds and also probably sponsorship contract losses. I imagine it will be a significant sum.

We could help them out.
Surely our neighbours are more deserving of a handout than Exeter.

Wouldn’t worry bout the rags this week. If we turn up we win if we play shit it’s another stupid 3 points dropped to continue to slump. It will give the new interim manager 3 points to cement his place as the new manushited manager. So all in all we will be doing our bit to keep the dna alive.

Now that's the spirit
 
The rags should be more radical.

Why not follow the lead of the show Have I got news for you and announce a different caretaker manager every match.

They could do a vote on SSN after each match for fans to decide.

The possibilities are endless....

Let's batter them.

Knowing the background to why he walked out and what he really thinks of the Glazers, I wouldn't say his actions were deliberately designed to hurt the club but I suspect he takes some pleasure from the mess they're in.

But that ignores his part in that mess, having been there so long but having signally failed to build a structure to carry them forward. It all fell apart the moment he walked out in 2013 because he (along with David Gill) was the dominant force in their success.

Sorry you missed Mr Webb off list
 
I'm enjoying over-use of the word "interim" in connection with their managerial appointments.

Essentially, they are afraid of appointing permanent managers out of fear that, as is usually the case, they are crap and they have to sack them. If they use the word "interim", they can get rid and claim they "never wanted him full-time anyway" and are definitely not a sacking club. If he wins a few games they can appoint him full time and say he's "proved himself".

It all smacks of a club in abject indecision and fear of public perception. It's delicious.
