Buckle

[Regiment]

the way things are going in the big wide world of football, it's probably only a matter of time before Lord Buckle is elected president of FIFA.

The King (Buckle) is dead.

Long live the King (Ling).

Back on topic then and Buckle.

Our board of directors were quick to block his move to Bristol Rovers, weren't they ?

Why didn't they ?

See through the mutual platitudes after the departure. My guess is they were glad to get shot of him, not because of his "footballing know how", but because of "other reasons".

Ok, so it's another rebuild (in more ways than one), it's not like we haven't been here before. Many have discussed Paul Buckle's personality/characteristics/attitude/ambition etc. With the arrogant/ambitious, be ever so watchful of what's lurking, unseen in the background . . . .

SPITE.

He did well for TUFC in his time here (even though he played "Premiership manager" with BSP/League Two players. Headhunters above don't want to see that, they want to see the nous to get a team upwardly out of a Division using tactics appropriate for the division.

If his "ambition" proves to be his downfall then so be it. It won't come as a shock to many on here. It will however come as a massive slap in the face to him.
