Having seen Paul Ince relieved of his duties following the defeat to Preston on Monday, it reminded me of quite a few other occasions that draws or defeats to Preston have resulted in managers losing their jobs over the years. This got me wondering, are PNE the ultimate kiss of death team, or are there any another teams that have hammered the final nail into a struggling manager's coffin more times? Would love to hear your take on this!

Really enjoying the newsletters so far lads, cheers!

Top work gents. 👍 What are you thoughts on the DAZN bid to broadcast all EFL games and scrap the 3pm blackout? About time someone made a play for the hooooge EFL market or a threat to attendances and traditions?

Cracking work George + Ali, best way to start the week!

Accrington are looking like they’re run in League 1 may be about to come to an end, with that in mind, do you feel John Coleman is still the man to the lead the club forward, and if he was to be sacked, do you believe there is any manager who could return them to League 1 in the coming years?

Question, is an Archer-Akpom

partnership the best in this league and how does it compare to the best of partnerships of previous seasons ? For me, their variety is so appealing but how do they compare to Ebanks-Blake/Iwelumo, gayle/Carroll, mitrovic/ Kebano. Any others you can think of ?

Hi guys - just wondering what your thoughts are about Jack Currie of AFC Wimbledon (and I know Ali watched him last night)? We all know that he was the subject of bids in the January window but do you think a bid of £600k- £650k would have been good value for the club to accept at the time or even at the end of the season? Cheers - Ju.

Hi Ali + George, top stuff, yet again.

Not sure if this the place to submit questions, but with Wrexham and Notts County both streets ahead in the National League, if they were to both come up, do you have an opinion on what they could do next year in League Two?

Very much the right place to submit questions, Joe. And consider yours received!

Presumably Nathan Jones' next gig will be back in the EFL, unless he goes abroad. Which club(s) would be a good fit for him if they were to have a vacancy?
