Cant see Gardner getting a start. He might come on on about 85 minutes for Young though so he can get his standing ovation. Out with the Old in with the New and all that.

Agreed. I dont even know why people are talking about it. He's not going anywhere and he's a good goal scorer. This thread has been on repeat since January and its bloody tiring.

Its been denied by City on SSN anyway

On SSN.

Think you'll find God's meant to be ending the world tomorrow not Monday. Maybe he's a blues fan who wants to make sure they die a PL club?

I'd prefer it if at any point Birmingham slip into the bottom 3 this gets played on the Jumboscreen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAE209K62rQ

Still think things like this will work much better when One purchase gets you access on many different varieties of media (phone, tablet, computer) and its updated much more often £30 is a good price but when you only get 4 updates a year, I wouldnt be interested. And would likely forget all about it

Im sure City fans hate one of the K's I just cant remember if its Kolorov or Kompany. Anyway, because he's English. They need as many Homegrowns as possible so taking the best ones is always a good option. Like you say Kolorov is just as good but not really any better. So might as well have Baines and fill a Home-grown spot whilst they are at it.

Baines has been heavily linked witha £20-25m move to City this summer. Man City. Ruining my dreams since summer '09.

If theres one season not to say this about England. It's this one, considering that it was instead the media have slaughtered him and he's picked out of form ex and current Villa players for every squad.

Again. It's the FA's fault. And not because they dont choose English managers. It's their fault that theres never (apart from now with 'Arry) a strong English candidate in the first place. Harry will be the next English manager - the media will rave about it - but we should really be asking that the biggest job in the country only has one real candidate. Its because coaching in this country is shit.

Yeah Redknapp is the best candidate for the job. Id say its nailed on he'll be next England manager. The media would go batshit if anybody else got it. He's a good manager and he's English. Ticks all the boxes. But for me. In general (not just this time round) I dont care if the guy is English and I never understood all the push for an English manager. It ended up with McClaren last time.

Strange day. Steve agreeing with SGC. Me agreeing with OnlyOne.

Warnock I think

Also. If we won the World Cup with a former bongo player who is German but was born and raised in Timbuktu and got the job by winning his national lottery. I wouldnt care at all. I would be ecstatic.

edit: double post

I take it only me and you have voted so far

As soon as he hits 20 goals next season he's the best striker we've had in a long long time.

If either Wigan or Blackpool get a point and Blues lose then Blues go down

1) Wages 2) English teams have to have a certain number of Homegrown Players 3) Wages 4) Wages 5) Wages

I think Abramovic could have been tempted by Harry yes. But who else is there that is truly good enough? Avram got it because he was already at the club and the players liked him. He was runner up in 3 cups for them. It wasnt exactly a disaster and he was only there for a bit as a stop-gap was he not? Coyle could be a good bet for Arsenal in the future. But no I cant see it.. again because not really any British managers suit their style of play. Again. not Arsenals fault. Man U is the biggest management job going It will go to the best manager in the world at that time. Many would say that is Mourinho. If Mourinho was British it would still go to him. And if barely any Englishmen have managed in the CL.. does that not tell you something about the state of coaching in the UK? that no Foreign teams seek our management either? We get many foreign managers but we're talking here that one of the biggest footballing nations can barely put somebody in a managerial position that can succeed? Is it more that no teams will give a chance to the poor Englishmen? or is it just that by and large our Style of Play and quality of coaching is just not good enough for teams on the European stage?

Just seen Trents red bits on the Houllier thread so C&P'd my reply to TRS-T's above post here. Mods can delete it from the other thread if you like edit: okay just re-read your post and seen you pretty much say what i say. But I would still say there are just not enough managers ready to make the step up. Maybe Moyes is but after that theres nobody really there. Hodgson probably wont get a chance at a big club again. Harry could do well at a big club but will go to England. Moyes, possibly ready would be a leap of faith for a big club to hire him. Then who? There isnt really anybody there setting the world alight. Coyle + Lambert but they need time to grow as managers and prove themselves consstently in the prem before being given a chance. Theres a big gap in English management and its not the big clubs' fault. Its the FA's. also still stand by my point that if Sam, McClaren etc were good enough theyd have performed much better with what they had

£7m would be a steal, I'd expect him to go for £10m because of the number of clubs interested. With a few of them probably having money to spend.
