Listened to a guy on the RW phone on saying that he wanted Flynn as manager. Astonishing.

That season they used wing-backs too though played mainly down the left as David Pipe's legs had gone and he couldn't cross but was a seasoned defender.

He's worked hard on set pieces and I've seen them score from some very innovative free kicks and corners. They also have very little money (I think the fans had funded a new deal for Labardie last season?).

When they played Spurs they used gegenpress and were 1-0 up until Harry Kane nicked one on the far post unmarked in the final minutes to force a replay at Wembley.

When they played Leeds, they matched them physically and clearly had a game plan which rattled them and they won. So he can mix it up depending on the opposition and conditions. I kinda like that. It's not something we've seen much of at CCFC in recent seasons.

Anyway. I'm not championing any cause, I just think the discussion about him should be balanced and unemotional.

Agreed, as I say he's not my first choice, but I think he did a good enough job at Newport not to be dismissed out of hand.

Imagine Flynn had the same track record but at Harrogate or Rochdale. Can you see Dalman and Choo urgently heading north...'that's the man we want!!!' No chance, they wouldn't even know who he was.
The only way he'll get the job would be.. he's cheap and we won't have to pay any moving costs, on that basis he's a shoe-in.
But you'd better hurry Mehmet, he's fighting off clubs with a stick at the moment.
