As Crysencio Summerville wheeled off to celebrate putting us two goals up at Scum, I was convinced weโ€™d never need a โ€˜realโ€™ manager again. Managers are (almost always) pointless, I think. We have had eighteen permanent managers since the turn of the millennium and youโ€™d struggle to say nice things about more than three of them. Why do we bother?

Fast forward to Seamus Colemanโ€™s imitation of Marco Van Basten and I was quite happy for Sam Allardyce to come in and let the darkness swallow us whole. So with that, Iโ€™d like to say welcome to Leeds United, Javi Gracia. Itโ€™s very normal here.
