Gompedyret Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Certainly an improvement over Roy Keane.or is it "to", "compared to" or something completely else?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkiller1981 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Echo the thoughts of most if not all this is a good move. Butch Wilkins talks with more sense and knowledge than most in the game. For me more signs that the club are getting things off the pitch right finally. Hopefully its not to late for this to start having a positive impact on the team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Super. I don't know the ins and outs of his departure from Chelsea, but he was a great foil for Ancelotti and Wilkins's sacking IMO was a big part in their throwing away the title that year. Really pleased with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I insist we only ever refer to him as Butch Wilkins as he was known when first broke into the Chelsea first team in the late 70's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Does come across as a bit pompous and patronising at times. However, you really can't argue with his pedigree in the game, should be a very good appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Certainly an improvement over Roy Keane.or is it "to", "compared to" or something completely else?) You could say 'an improvement on' or 'an improvement compared to'. Those would be the most natural choices IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted June 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2015 Excellent appointment imo. Always had a lot of time for him and he always comes across as a decent fella. I think his experience and enthusiasm will be a big plus. Welcome Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 interesting. Well I'll be fair to Tim, he's certainly getting in good staff to help him. Hope that applies to the scouting / transfer lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
