Alves gone

[the_anticlough]

Oh dear

yeah, a lot of institutional knowledge just walked out the door there

But can't say I'm surprised at all. He did a long stint in the same place. And I don't think you can go from analysing players to coaching players (to a failure) to analysing them again without getting sideways looks and murmurs of 'who is this guy?'

He might join Lord Montague of Swansea. Good luck to him wherever he goes next and thanks for the contribution to our promotion.
