Yeah, start a poll for this problem, that should make @Mostyn6 feel better.

Accidentally stuck my thumb and forefinger together with superglue. It's going to be ok for a while.

Finished the final episode of the 2nd series of this last night, only to find out that a 3rd series looks in doubt. Would be a crying shame if it didn't get a chance to complete at least another series. 
Excellently written - especially the interviews held with Edmund Kemper, Charlie Manson et. al. and the two lead FBI agents in particular were very well acted. 
David Fincher's (House of Cards) influence as producer is clear too. Really well made show.

It's a nice plan. The problem is that these plans so rarely actually work out. Players don't improve linearly. Successful players and managers leave for other clubs. Tactics have a shelf life before other teams work out exactly how to combat them - even if the tactics are effective to begin with. Managers choose tactics that can never succeed in the division, thus making any success actually impossible. Young players don't necessarily fit with the tactics, are often inconsistent and their inexperience often leads to them making mistakes (one or two youngsters often add energy and can be a real positive, but too many at once is a recipe for failure). Players get injured, fall out with each other, go to the pub and get caught drunk driving etc. Owners change, existing owners run out of cash/patience. The EFL decide to sabotage the club.
To succeed you would need the right manager, the right youngsters, the right signings, the right tactics, the right coaching, the right owner/chainman, the right medical staff and luck with injuries consistently over a four year period. Even one of those things being wrong would stop the plan from working. Those things sometimes align for a while, but never over a long timescale. In the real world there are too many variables for any long-term plan to actually work out.
By far and away the most successful model is:
Old manager leaves - new manager comes in and gets more out of the existing squad, signs a couple of good players and gets promotion within the first full season.
It's a couple of years since I looked, but when I checked, from the last 30 promotion from this division, 22 were from clubs with managers in their first full season, two were promoted clubs getting promoted again and one was a relegated club sticking with their manager. Of the other five, four had been in the play-offs in the previous season and that season had been the manager's first. 
My conclusion is that success (which for us must be promotion) comes quickly or not at all for a manager in the Championship.

I wish you didn’t suggest that, just spat a mouth full of tea out my nostrils reading that! 
Please tell me you’re not seriously suggesting we effectively dismissed him as we didn’t offer him the market rate...which is what exactly?

Not that it matters but I could suggest that offering to sign someone on a contract that isn't near 'market rate' is tantamount to 'constructive dismissal'.
But yeah we offered him a year and he didn't take it. How very dare he.

Yeah I can see you’ve got problems - you need to be able to show interest and empathy in the bs conversations. You talk bs too!
