Agreed. Nor should he.

Is avoiding relegation the only thing that matters now, or do we also need to see the semblance of a “project” emerging? I fear we recruit someone like O’Neil, survive, but watch shit football in 2026, and feel no further forward.

I would genuinely *love* this. Obviously won’t happen. But still….

100%. Seems like a lovely bloke who’s been through something unimaginable. Just hasn’t worked for him. We’ve had plenty of good coaches who’ve failed here. Something’s been rotten at the club for a few years.

Because it'll make the eventual high in, like, five seasons' time, kinda worth it....

One final thought: if Shane Duffy is the answer, I have no idea what the question is. #ncfc

Though, if I were Knapper, I’d be worried by the amount of times the boss said the decisions would be on my “ledger”…. #ncfc

Agreed. But he also acknowledged that from a PR perspective, it was a disaster, which is appropriate, and sent the right message, I think.

And, frankly, I bet he is talking to plenty of people outside the club. He just knows better than to undermine his existing leadership team when they’re in post. #ncfc

This season, um, not so much. And really, this should have been Knapper answering questions, not the owner. #ncfc

One day, maybe, just maybe, the late-Kenny-run-to-the-near-post-with-a-flick trick will work....

Completely agree with all that. Fear it’ll just be the manager for now.
October 18, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Totally. We’ve completely drifted in the last few years. Awful leadership.

Tbf, he wasn’t an unknown manager. Appreciate he wasn’t experienced at this level. But he’d done extremely well in Denmark. Lots of good managers/coaches seems to fail here. Which suggests something deeper in rotten.

How can couples talk about autism? And, like with ADHD, how much can you expect change in a relationship where one person has with a diagnosis?

You probably already know that autism diagnoses have gone up about 800% in the last few decades. The male to female ratio has shrunk from 4:1 to 2:1. But social media is rife with videos celebrating inaccurate versions of "autism".
