I fully agree with you about how the club has handled Poyet's departure. It is a complete change from what we've seen at any time up 'til now...including this management's prior actions. They can and should be commended.
And I'll be happy to reconsider my opinion of Bates if changes like that continue to be made. I don't have any religious connection to my dislike of Bates. I just dislike what he's done. If he does different things that are good...I'll applaud him. As for Eddie, yes I'd like to see him back. If he's up for it -- and you rightly ask (considering he's said he isn't) -- then no one would be more the right man for the job. If he isn't....who then? Vinnie? No. His heart would never be in it. Not because he makes more money acting -- though he does -- but because that's not what he's about. What's Batts doing?
