Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Franchise FC Given the hundreds, if not thousands of managers, to be able to name but a handful is testament to the fact that managers get sacked, it’s what happens to the vast, vast majority

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Chelsea granted permission by Leicester to speak to Maresca, whom they will apparently offer a 5 year deal - which they will pay up in full when they fire him next year. Leicester will apparently get 10m in compensation. Chelsea clearly very impressed by his side nearly choking the most nailed on p...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Probably a good thing. Labour will resurrect it, with a PM who is a genuine football fan. It's not a hard left incoming government, but where the interests of fans are in direct conflict with billionaire and hedge fund owners, they'll still be more inclined to side with fans than the Tories.

Re: Ex Players

Mr Angry Many congratulations to our ex goalkeeper, Alex McCarthy, for getting promotion to the Premier League with Southampton yesterday; I hope he gets his chance as their first choice keeper next season.

Much as I’d like to think that, I don’t think there’s much chance of it happening

Re: Weekend Football

Fixing stuff (like bookings) isn’t gambling and so I fail to see why he should be treated as having an addiction to gambling. He may have that as well, but this is simply getting paid to fix a bet. Not the same thing in my opinion, and because it’s premeditated should be treated as much worse than t...

Re: Weekend Football

Paqueta has intentionally gone out to spot-fix multiple times. He will get the book chucked at him. As someone said earlier, it's only a few bookings Unfortunately, it's not a stretch to think that he might extend that to changing a match result by one of those bookings becoming significant to the ...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

It's a very trite answer, but I think it has merit. It's a 46 game season involving 23 other teams. Luck and circumstance plays a huge part. Especially in a highly competitive and relatively evenly balanced league like the Championship certainly used to be. Injuries, illness, loss of form, playing ...

Mid Sussex Royal ITK Eddie reporting on Twitter the hold up is Chiron want the loans taken off the asking price, sounds reasonable to me.
