  1. To be honest, the UK media would have their work cut out in order to milk and overblow a relationship with the Kinahans. They’re wanted globally by various law enforcement bodies. This isn’t a member of the royal family marrying a woman with black genealogy. It’s a very prominent PL manager associating with members of a cartel, the main players in which are wanted globally.
  2. If Dean had stuck with the 4-2-3-1 instead of trying to crowbar Ollie and Ings into a team and a 3-5-2 then it might have ended better for him.
  3. I don’t know. Dyche always said his hands were tied by the players he had at his disposal/could attract to the club. I’d just be interested to see it but as I said, not here. And as for Charlton, he never intended to play any other way. He always said as much.
  4. Oblak move to Benfica in 2010. We signed Nyland in 2018. In what world did our scouts prefer Nyland?
  5. I’d like to see what Dyche could do at a club with resources like we have. He’s obviously a very good manager and players like playing for him. However, having said that, I don’t want it to be here.
  6. They’ve got to be perfect to go in because the keepers are so much more agile than they used to be. To achieve that perfection the margin for error is very very small. You’ve got to get it over the wall and down under the crossbar with enough power to beat a keeper who doesn’t have concrete boots on like they did 15 years ago.
  7. Right, never mind the Villa job or the England job or whatever. How does one apply to become a FA delegate?
  8. I was being facetious. I won’t be giving Gerrard credit for that decision.
  9. Gerrard‘s plan of giving McGinn the captaincy so that both Mings and McGinn become better players is coming to fruition. Just need McGinn to start playing well now.
  10. He just won two headers in a row. This is not a drill.
  11. Milner was also nominated for young footballer of the year last season.
  12. Fair enough you’re entitled to your opinion, but my opinion after reading this is - you’re a crazy man!
  13. Might have had something to do with the league position when he took over and the fact that 50% of the squad that he inherited were right backs.
  14. That should accelerate the sacking process in terms of games played though, because every time we’ve come back from one of his mini or indeed full pre-seasons we’ve looked worse than we did before.
  15. After our start, I’d void the season out of respect.
  16. Cool. Good luck with it. Can you send the course details on to @paul514 so that he can get the papers to back up his expertise?
  17. Could be before the month is out the way Chelsea are going. Although, who is making the footballing decisions at the club? Tuchel is probably the most senior footballing employee there. Will he sack himself? EDIT: He’s gone
  18. There’s a world of difference between what Postecoglou is doing and what Gerrard did to be fair. He knows exactly how he wants to play and most importantly can get the message across to the players of how to play it. Gerrard has a vague idea what he wants the team to look like and the communication skills of a mute who doesn’t know sign language. It also took Gerrard 2 years to get Rangers going. It took Postecoglou 2 months to turn Celtic around.
  19. It’s 2022 - the age of throwing opinions on to the internet and not having to back them up. If you can’t beat them, join them.
  20. Little known fact. A year ago, all our players were a year younger than the are now.
  21. Opens FM -> start new game -> new career. I’ll show the people of Östersund what a proper manager looks like.
  22. I’ve been a big critic of him tactically. However, when I saw the selection today I thought - he’s at least picked a team that had a bit of balance to it and with a bit of luck we’ll get something today. It’ll be interesting to see what he does against teams that “we should be beating” though.
  23. Big transformation from a CB two or so seasons back.
