I've mentioned him multiple times in the past prior to Oli being hired, he did a good job under tough circumstances in Pittsburg and Denver.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑26 Jul 2025 09:17 am He needed time off to recover from a drinking problem.

I'm not vouching for him as manager, but that seems like an awfully long time to black ball him for.
