Fair amount of discourse over on the other place that Mason was fighting for his job yesterday. He really isn't (and wasn't). Players like him, board are on side with him.
It's the terrace/social media noise that is loudest at moment (which I can't blame tbf).

Saddened to read about Imran Sherwani - a sports hero from my youth.
Also prompted one of the greatest ever commentaries from Barry Davies.

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

That said, there is no excuse for the way this game has been managed on or off the pitch. We are playing like we've had 3 sent off. #wba
Molumby is the kind of player who gets managers the sack. Recklessness mistaken for bravado and bluster. #wba
