Best Of

A club showing appreciation for their up-and-coming manager and rewarding him with a new contract? What an odd way to do business - next you'll be telling me they talk about him by name!

Shit. This is a very bad day.

All the best Blooms, always welcome back.

Except he can't play for them for 7months.

At least no-one is suggesting the Cowley brothers.

Matt was always open about going to Colchester to take that risk of failure. That’s how he operates. You have to be brave to succeed. If he does join Luton, it’ll just be another opportunity to show what he can do, in a completely different environment.

He also admitted to reading some of the comments on Twitter from our defeat last New Years Day. Maybe he saw that football fans are a fickle bunch and that he hadn’t been shown the say respect and loyalty that he showed throughout his playing career.

Are you suggesting Matt didn't want to sign a new contract?

@Kipper isn't Schumacher odds on to go back to Plymouth?

@Malone Yes, I read that the Luton owner was insistent that the process of 'stealing someone else's manager' was to be done properly and respectfully.

That's true but in reality it only comes down to assessing the job offer you have against either your current job or waiting for a "better" job.

Football management is such a lottery anyway.

Anyway as with GA, it would appear, MB is no longer our manager so we move forward. Never too high and never too low.

As someone once said "Football, f**king hell".

I think it was a 'Football League World understands...' quote.

Is there any substance to this '100k release clause' or is that a completely made-up figure as per?
