We've dodged a bullet with Joey Barton, anyway. Fleetwood must be mad.

I'll bet the team talks will be interesting - perhaps a smattering of Nietzsche and delivered in Joey's version of French

And with liberal smacks round the head and burnings with cigarettes for anyone who misplaces a pass.
How unlike the home life of our own dear manager (whoever that turns out to be).

Not actually true Quantum, actually there are many similarities between the Black County Dialect and high German.
As an example "bist thee goo-in" - "are you going". "Bist" in hi German means "are".
If Pollyanna Jones, author of; The Black Country - Last Haven of the Mercian Tongue, is to be believed , around 80% of words used by speakers of Black Country dialect are Germanic, compared to supposedly 26% for the rest of modern English.

New favorite on most sites at 7/2 is Lee Johnson at Bristol City

Fits the bill in terms of age (36) and Championship experience (Bristol City) and would be a better choice than Michael Appleton. I’d be concerned whether he’s ready for the step-up a level though.

As long as we don't take his dad Gary presently with Cheltenham and who seems to have lost the plot recently.
One positive for me and the Robins is that Cheltenham are always loaning players from Bristol City, no doubt due to the father/son connection. We have three of their players at present. One of City's players showed so much improvement and potential with Cheltenham that he was soon picked for Wales under 23s.
If Lee then managed the Baggies and the trend continued, I would be able to watch the loaned youngsters and hope that they might ultimately make the grade with the Albion.
There are quite a few ex Albion players playing at this level. Last season Darren Clark was playing for Forest Green and this season FGR have acquired Rueben Reed who the last time I saw him play for the Albion was against Bolton. (Going back a bit I know).
I think that Cheltenham would be more than happy to borrow Da do Rondon if allowed

Can't quite understand....RR was great for Argyle (so I thought) and they let him go to Exeter. Now Exeter have let him go to FGR. What went wrong, Silver?
