As long as he's gone, that's all that matters.

Careful what you wish for. Still got to see a signing or current player that is as good as him yet. When he was playing we usually conceded two or less (usually less) goals. Not getting the points was usually down to our poor attacking options not him.

Agree with Hesslian on Bellusci. There was a period either side of Christmas last season when the quality of Bellusci's defending more or less kept us afloat. At his best, he was head and shoulders above our other defenders, with clean, decisive tackling and long passing way beyond the scope of most Championship defenders. His errors were always highlighted by the local media, in a way that those of their favourites (e. g. Bamba) never were. Not perfect by any means, and may have been an abrasive character, but like Hesslian, I don't see anyone else in our current squad who's clearly better. Reckon he carried the can for rampant anti-Cellino / Italian feeling, verging sometimes on xenophobia it has to be said, on the part of some of our local media and others.

Has anyone else read reports of James Beattie joining us as a first team coach? Is it a wind-up? Read it in a few places now.

Why would it be a windup? Believe he worked with Monk at Swans.

Just seems an unusual and somewhat out of place appointment Corky. No announcement from club yet a few media sources reporting.

Think he joined swans and they never won a game after.

He did alright at Accrington before the league jumped in and said he didn't have the necessary credentials to manage.

Good appointment, especially for Chris Wood who could do with a few pointers on finishing.
