February 22, 20179 yr British managers are a bit shit. Simeone is the best by a country mile currently He won't hack it on a cold Tuesday Night in stone Re fergie, He rebuilt a squad to win everything numerous times. There was no luck involved with him. Every time it came to an end and they lost the league title to someone else, he went and got it back the season after. Even right till the end.
February 22, 20179 yr Aye wasn't he supposed to sign van nistellroy till he fucked his knee, came back a couple of years later Are those two brothers at Lincoln lucky or good managers?
February 23, 20179 yr He won't hack it on a cold Tuesday Night in stone Re fergie, He rebuilt a squad to win everything numerous times. There was no luck involved with him. Every time it came to an end and they lost the league title to someone else, he went and got it back the season after. Even right till the end. Aye. British managers of another era have been great. Right here right now they are left behind by a mile
February 23, 20179 yr Part of the English problem, certainly top couple of divisions is money. How do you bollock 11 millionaires who can't be arsed? If they don't like you, they will either individually cause unrest to get a move or collectively get you sacked. Gone are the days are players playing for the love of the game or club. Football fans should cancel sky sports in their droves and let's re-claim the sport from the mercenaries
February 23, 20179 yr fergie signed some good uns and some bad uns. He did also have a massive transfer budget and half his team came through the ranks
February 23, 20179 yr Re fergie, He rebuilt a squad to win everything numerous times. There was no luck involved with him. Errrr.....apart from that 1-1 draw at Forest which saved his job. Common knowledge that he was sacked if they lost. You now know why everyone used to start a certain song with "We hate Nottingham Forest........................"

The investment in the Club is what makes a supporter different from a 'fan'. So for the majority of fans who watch their footy on Sky / BT, the status quo suits them perfectly. They have little connection to the Club they follow and the disconnect between commercialisation and the 'good of the game' fades into obscurity. Add the fact that the super rich Clubs in the Premier League (and even the upper end of Championship) make the disbenefits of home grown talent / management and player attitudes almost irrelevant.

Correct!
February 23, 20179 yr Fergie had a huge transfer budget & was able to poach the best youth players, but above all he was given the time that no manager will receive nowadays.......same as fathead at Bolton. FWIW i'd give Parkinson a 5 year contract & make it clear that we intend to honour it even when the tough times come & anyone who can't back him might as well toddle off........it's not going to happen though.

Doubt we'd do that with our finances. At first we thought Lennon was ace, then we couldn't afford to get shut. See where we are later in summer.

February 23, 20179 yr Zicos reet Most folk who watch league football regularly will be sky subscribers I've got sky and bt and doubt I've watched a full game, other than us at Peterborough, this season
February 23, 20179 yr I have sky and bt mainly for the merican football but will have the association footy on most times its on even if it's only on as background noise as I tit about on my laptop/ read. May bin it off when my lad is old enough to come to games and put the money towards away trips
How sad, never mind!
