Funny old game,football.

Should Roy master mind an unexpected victory over Man U tonight,he will move from zero to hero and many wishing he retires will be eating their words!!

The media seem to think around Saturday 12th September as the start date.

As for the turnstiles, your guess is as good as mine. Can't see full capacity allowed for months, but how they plan to move up to it God only knows.

If there really is a Covid vaccine widely available by the end of this year it could change everything very quickly.

The virus may well mutate, hopefully any vaccine will at least behave like the flu vaccine and at least lessen the symptoms and aid a speeder recovery in those circumstances!

If this was happening in April/May then possibly this would happen, but with the turnaround to the new season likely to be very short unless we have a new manager lined up and ready to go it could prove costly to let Roy leave.

Personally I think he was let down with promises of new players that never materialised and given what he had available to him it is a great accomplishment that we were effectively safe with almost a quarter of the season left to play. Ayew has attributed his personal turnaround to Roy so I wouldn't be so sure that players don't want to play for him. I also imagine he had a hand in convincing Cahill to come. On the flips side the football has been depressing at times and our one usually reliably entertaining player has put his magic set away for reasons only known to himself.

Personally I wouldn't be devastated if he left but I would also be fine with him staying, especially if we actually sign a few quality players (I think that is more important than the manager right now).
