That would be simply catastrophic, my very worst nightmare, like Harry on valium.

Agreed, but certainly nothing to worry about. I hope

How is it possible that Kevin Bond is still at the club?

How?

Probably because he didn't resign (unlike Jordan and Hoddle) and is waiting for a better offer to come along.

Then he should be sacked.

He is old regime, part of the problem.

Who says Bond is picking the team? Club have already said Les and Chris are in charge, itll be them.

Read somewhere that Bond will help Ramsey prepare for Southampton..... no mention of Les.

Ninj, Ian Taylor confirmed this morning that Bond and Ramsey are in temporary charge of the 1st team.

Les is now DoF.

Ah fark. Missed that. Same old then.

Precise wording of press release is:

"As part of the recent managerial change, Les Ferdinand – in his new role of Director of Football – will oversee Chris Ramsey and Kevin Bond in caretaker charge of the team until further notice, ably assisted by Goalkeeping Coach Kevin Hitchcock."

...so I suppose "oversee" could be interpreted as Les having a possible say/influence in team selection/tactics...

The wording does seem slightly ambiguous I must admit...

Thats what im hoping it means. Perhaps if he sees the squad and its the same players being played out of position he could step in.

[Burnside]

Maybe Bond's not the problem hence why he is still here and not Mr gormless four eyes who seemed to offer less than fck all.

Bond still at the club. Now who made the decision I wonder, Tony or Les?

Newly appointed DoF overridden by the chairman on day one? This is Les's decision.

Are fans not happy with the DoF's choice already?

Les out eh?
