Either way, is Ling the ‘experienced number 2’ Ross now has? He should be nowhere near the dressing room during or immediately after the game. Shades of Bullshitti.

If I was being optimistic, I would wonder if the delay in making a statement is because the club is trying to broker some sort of mediation - but that's gonna take some doing.

Who was Webb rowing with then, if not Embleton?

You're perfectly welcome to disbelieve anything I am offering here. But that doesn't change its essential truth.

You're not a million miles away from it. He is the more accomplished and qualified coach. And - on this occasion - wasn't impressed to see how chuffed Embleton was by us poncing a late equaliser after what was - by and large - a gormless performance.

The players are probably relieved that this source of dressing room tension has been removed, but is that short-term uplift worth losing one of the people who thinks we should be doing better with the talent we currently have in our squad? Or are we all happy to settle into a nice comfortable and dreary "well at least we have a club, so we should be grateful for a few seasons bumbling around at the foot of League Two even though we have a top 8 budget and top 3 crowds" routine? Because I bet Kent Teague isn't.

So it's only a matter of time. It's simply a question of how many good people we lose between now and the inevitable.

Interesting that Brill has taken DW place as first team coach , not keeper coach and he said he was approached by Ling before Christmas about an opportunity that might arise and how he saw Brills next move . That really does sound like a plot !
Yet I thought the club really rated Webby , or someone there did

Again we only have what oyinbo is saying.
