Why isn't Cox being shown the door by Boston not cheering me up as much as I thought it would?

As much as we at Patgod enjoy a good chuckle and try to wring the funny from any given Poppies-related situation, the sacking of Paul Cox has left us strangely flat.  I'm trying to think of as many snake-inspired puns as I can, but the muse isn't there.  Or rather, "isssssn't there."  Although I'm feeling morose on the subject I'm not dead!

Who can't have watched Cox's recent interviews without at least a touch of concern?  That florrid face.  The unnerving blinking.  The complete inability to focus his eyes on anything at all, let alone the interviewer.  He looked harassed and unwell.  You would need a heart of stone not to feel just a bit sorry for him.  Unless, of course you happened to be a Poppies supporter or simply someone who enjoys schadenfreude.

This is the man, who for all of his noble talk, simply walked out on his Poppies contract when Boston made their illegal approach.  Sensing the greener (and flatter) grass in Lincolnshire he dumped us without a backward glance or word of apology or regret.  A move utterly lacking the class or honesty we had thought he was eminently capable of.  For what?  To be sacked just seven games into the new season and have another club's supporters think ill of him.

In the most obvious development since the announcement that water is wet Ian Culverhouse has slithered into the still-warm dugout at Boston.  This was such a guaranteed outcome that even Patgod foretold it, though even Culverhouse probably can't believe how quickly his period on the Rock and Roll has come to an end.  Paul Bastock and that other bloke are already, no doubt, heading to the Jakemans.  The other bloke in his car and Bastock while taking his dog for a walk.

So where does all this leave everyone?  Is Lee Glover already looking forward to his turn in the Boston hot seat before the end of the season?  Or is he looking over his shoulder?  Surely Cox burned his bridges with Ritchie?  What would Ian Culerhouse have done for a living if Boston hadn't had such a crap start to the season?  He's already amply proved he will never move his lazy arse from the Kings Lynn area, which meant he was basically waiting for either Boston or Peterborough Sports to have a shocker.  Boston stepped up.  And what of Paul himself?  I take no pleasure in seeing someone lose their job.  Today Paul started in employment and by the end of the day he's out of work.  Sad - no matter what we might think of the man and his behaviour

On the bright side, he loses his employment on the same day Boris Johnson loses his, who did an even worse job and arguably screwed up the lives of even more people than a former Poppies Manager can manage.

On the even brighter side, Paul should take heart that he signs-on on the same day Liz Truss becomes the Prime Minister, proving it is possible to fail upwards and that absolutely no-one is completely unemployable.

It's what you've always wanted. 
Careful not to trip over your own grin....
