I wouldn't want baguettes for anything. In the rain, it'd be a nightmare. What a stupid question. I'd rather have scaffold poles. What would you prefer: camembert or Edam for arms or legs? Because clearly you've got a marshmallow for a head asking a question like that. Dear me.

Safe to say it’s been a pretty mad day. I’m absolutely overwhelmed with all the support I’ve had on here and in person today. Genuinely appreciate every message. I can’t wait to give everything for Grimsby Town, and who knows where our adventure will take us? Happy new year all!

Let me say, first and foremost, that I’m not going anywhere unless I’m told to. The love that you, the fans, have shown myself and my family since my arrival has exceeded even my highest expectations, on and off the pitch.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at

On that note, I'm off. If I didn't answer your Q it's because I didn't have time, I didn't see it, you were asking whether I want the manager's job at (insert club here) or because it was ridiculous. Let's do it again next week. And someone please get me a blue tick.

Fascinating man is Phillip. Had the pleasure of interviewing him at length recently for a piece that will be out soon. Really hope he’s given time to get Derby playing his way. Great club that demands success
Derby must give Phillip Cocu time - and Leeds trip could be catalyst to kick-start their season |

Medhi Benatia at Blackpool – it was Karl Oyston's fault. I flew to France, looked at him, told Karl that Udinese were after him, and he didn't believe us. He’s an absolutely brilliant player and what a career he's had. He wanted to come and Karl said no. Gutted.

Yep, didn't need to say another word. I called the stadium manager straight to it, I demanded to see the chairman. Wilf Zaha said to me 'that's terrible' and I told him to take no notice and prove we were better than them by winning. And have a look who scored the 2 goals.

It has not been the start to the season we had hoped for, but there is a long way to go, and we must all pull together.
I genuinely believe in the potential of this club, but we need to do better, beginning at the top, and that’s the gauntlet I throw down today.

However, of late, developments away from the football itself have made it increasingly difficult to work to full potential on a day-to-day basis and, most importantly, place this club on an honest, positive, front footing. This is as frustrating to me as much as any fan.

For a myriad of reasons, on and off the pitch, it feels like we didn’t get a fair crack together, and I take me share of the blame too. I hoped for this to be a long, serious relationship but it hasn’t worked out that way, and that saddens me.

As I said recently, I intend to be fully honest with you, the supporters.
Contact was made by the new owners to me on several occasions before the takeover, which I felt was inappropriate, and told them as such. This is the key factor in my decision.

This sounds like one for a podcast.
@IanOllie7
What’s your real opinion on the Oystons?
I ask because you’ve never really said a bad thing about them but we all know otherwise.
Now they’re not around anymore, I wonder if your more willing to open up about the way they operated & sued the generations of loyal customers.

Why? The relationship between the incoming new owners, board and manager is so so important. It needs to be strong for a club to succeed, and we got off on the wrong footing.
Therefore, that relationship will be strained from the off, which is bad for the club.

As a manager, you try and affect your team, and if you can affect them short-term that’s fantastic. If you can affect them long-term that’s very satisfying. If I’ve helped him in his life that’s great, because he’s certainly helped me in mine.
