iggy Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Chelsea haven't had that many, if any, failures as managers - Abramovich is just impatient unless you expect them to win everything, like Abramovich does Iirc scolari wasn't a big hit. But my point being that experience doesn't always guarantee success across the board. So we shouldn't write him off and give him the backing coyle got. Quote

Big_Sharps Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 If we aint 10 points clear by Jan 1st I am going to start bringing an angry bedsheet to each game. Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Scolari wasn't exactly a raging success. 20 out of 36 isnt raging but it its not bad is it Quote

Big_Sharps Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Not the polyester black ones, please God no. Aye with snail trails and everything, it's going to take a massive art attack effort to pull it off but I am upto the task. I might even let people pass it along like they do with those massive flags. No licking it though. Quote

Zico Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 this tickled me palace fan comparing our squad to theirs http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=236963 although I would expect the average palace fan to know nowt about our squad as much as I'd expect us to know nowt about theirs, a couple of things that i found funny: Spearing, Jay Midfielder Owen Garvan, Spearing for me is awful so Owen wins - see what we're up against? Holden, Stuart Midfielder Jon Williams - no contest really, Willaims by far - aye, alreet Lee, Chung-Yong Midfielder Yannick Bolasie, has impressed me since he joined, Lee apparently struggles with the tempo so Yannick for me. but the best - of all the quality in our squad, all their players are better than ours, except...... Pratley, Darren Midfielder Stuart O'Keefe, given the experience Pratley egdes this. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) On this day in 2007 we appointed Megson as manager. Coincidence or a a sign from the dark side? It's a worrying sign that time does seem to fly exponentially faster as you get older...Five f*cking years, where's that gone then? Love him to do well for obvious reasons, but you can guarantee if he does and a bigger club (or one offering bigger wages) comes knocking, this last week has shown us that he'll drop us like a hot spud. Hopefully he'll be dropping us when we're back in the Prem, with the new deal cash in our pockets. If all we've got to worry about is him being successful and subsequently being poached, then I'll take that all day long. Edited October 25, 2012 by Youri McAnespie Quote

Big_Sharps Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Palace Gonzo seems alright, can we swap Quote
Zico Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Scolari wasn't exactly a raging success. Iirc scolari wasn't a big hit. But my point being that experience doesn't always guarantee success across the board. So we shouldn't write him off and give him the backing coyle got. I agree about experience not guaranteeing anything (and why I wasn't that arsed about McCarthy et al), but Scolari was sacked in Feb of his 1st season, when they were in 4th - hardly a failure, more to the point, hardly given a chance Quote
The Wanderer Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Love him to do well for obvious reasons, but you can guarantee if he does and a bigger club (or one offering bigger wages) comes knocking, this last week has shown us that he'll drop us like a hot spud.

Big_Sharps Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 He's represented them as player and then manager for a long time , he probably fancied a change of scenery too and A fresh challenge. Quote
worthy10 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Note for Mr Freedman to save you some time. Bogdan is a liability Ream dives in, whether it's in the box or not Pratley and Andrews are two cheeks of the same arse. Not good enough for their role at your new club Mavies needs loving to get his confidence up SKD great in his day and much loved but it's his last season. Use as an impact sub with 20 min to go. Ngog is rubbish We need a small quick goal scorer Other than that all's well. Welcome our club Quote
Rembrandt Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 With some of the country's happiest most positive fans On a good day. Quote
worthy10 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 On a good day. OK have it your way: Congratulations Dougie, you've taken over a winning team that needs nothing doing with it, ins or outs. We have hardly concede any goals, particularly away from home. In fact, can you play ping pong, cause there nowt else for you to do Better? Quote
onefinfrandsen Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Respect to gartside for making this appointment,could have gone down the safe route of hiring mccarthy, but stuck to his guns and beliefs. its a huge gamble and an expensive one but he obviously thinks coyle was'nt far away from gettng it right, good luck dougie,hope it works out.
