That first one is pretty tough, to be honest. Actually, the whole premise is quite upsetting.

Re question two, I have to admit I've never heard either of them. #notametaller

Paul Mariner's more your man for that question than Mick!

Everyone knows that was a result of the Schleswig-Holstein Question. I'm not sure what the question was though . I'm guessing it had something do with their favourite cheeses or some other important issue.


To a certain extent.

It was said, I think by Palmerston of the Schleswig-Holtstein Question that only three people knew the answer: one was dead. one had gone mad. He (Palmerston) was the third, but he'd forgotten what the question was.

It was more likely to have been about pork products.

I can't bear to see another hapless abject performance by Phil in the press conference, not asking, er, what does the OP want Phil to do again?


He's a Candy Crush demon though.

Sorry, I mean 'he takes a lot of notes'.

Yep, he finalises everything. However, he has admitted, as has Milne, that Mick (and previous managers) have guided them on values for players both in terms of transfer fee and wage levels.

As you mentioned earlier, Mick is involved in much more than many managers at clubs now and that makes us vulnerable.

A more modern set-up linking academy and first team is required in my opinion


Not sure Ian does much until the deals are signed and all but sealed, not the actual mechanics of the deals themselves.

Think the club would benefit from a change in set-up, as you suggest. I think that was part of the idea of appointing Simon Clegg, but I don't think it really worked as envisaged and ME continued to take the leading role in transfer stuff.

Sorry, didn't mean Ian does much at all. I meant it was an ME/Mick double act in the division of responsibilities.

I wonder if we'll limp through to mathematical safety with Mick, then appoint Klug until the end of the season and then have a complete overhaul the club needs?

Changing a manager is I think a bigger step than is always realised, particularly here at the moment. I get the impression that Mick is very much a manager in the old-fashioned mould, his job covering a wider brief than most managers now.

ME is in charge of deals, contracts, fee negotiation etc but obviously is also running his other businesses, while IM has little or no involvement in that side of things. Mick does a lot of the job that would be a director of football's role in addition to what is viewed as a manager or head coach's role these days.


Who would you say has more involvement in transfers Phil?

Obviously Mick chooses his target but after am I right in believing that it's 90% Evans?

Yes, so I'm waiting for your correction now ;) (or was it your way of joking?!).

It's something I've done several times, so it definitely does work.

The business side of it is ME with MM's guidance on valuation, wages etc. Don't think ME got similar guidance in Roy Keane's time in charge otherwise he wouldn't have paid £2m for Lee Martin and given him a four-year contract. I think he learnt those lessons the hard way.

Wouldn't surprise me if there was a change once the season is effectively dead and then someone else running things to the end of the season in an interim role.

Yeah he seems to be unwilling to back mick like he backed the other two clowns despite seemingly trusting mick much more.

He should expect to overspend. Like Newcastle did paying 3m for a 34 year old..

He was pretty much asked the second one last night, although in slightly less inflammatory terms!

Whether the club is in a position to pay him off or otherwise is purely speculation. There may well be some clause in his contract stipulating what any pay-off would be. Wouldn't surprise me if that is the case.

If not, we'd keep paying him his wage until there is a settlement or he gets another job, which I would guess wouldn't be that long.
