There are certainly some red flags there but let's not kid ourselves, Dunning was assistant under Kear so it's not like he's had no say and he'd assemble a massively different squad. Wasn't part of the justification of him getting the role he knew the players anyway and if anything the performances have gotten worse.

Isn't it good planning to decide what you are doing next year mid way through the season. Presumably some people don't like what they see - rumour is it that's why Crossley is off - not sure why the club are pretending it's a unique situation to us. We hand out one year contracts like sweets so it's par for the course.

Not saying the players are blameless of course, but it's not as simple as it's JKs fault. What have recruited so far doesn't exactly scream we're going to have a better run at the playoffs next year

I'm not privvy to the relationship between Mick and Crossley as to whether it's a bit of friendly banter or otherwise. But it's not the first time Crossley and this squad has took the p!ss out fans this year is it.

Crossley put in his most dedicated and committed performance of the year yesterday. Shame it was taking the p155 out of Gledhill on Twitter.

There was one of the photo mock-ups - one with him laying on the ground - where it looked like Crossley was more out of shape than Mick.

That tells us something about the issues we've had this season.

Anyone got any info on the IMG report yet? I thought it would have leaked by now

Bongser is already cringing as to what outsiders will come up with. More of the same crud that has been rejected before eg mergers? Stuff that has been tried and then rejected? Even more ridiculously convoluted structures than have seen Wood and Rimmer heading for the hills?

Not looking forward to the 28th!
