Can anyone imagine this team in October going 0-2 down in 10 minutes and finishing the half even stevens and on firmly on top? Although in October it would of been a few different players and in a woeful shape, I guess. :| Indeed. “Would of been....”. I expect better than that from you Ian! :wink:
They were bloody awful as well. Upamecano also picked up his 2nd red card in as many games. I keep half an eye on Bochum as my school was partnered with a school in Bochum and I did my A level exchange there. My exchange partner was quite a big fan of Bochum but they were away when I did my exchang...
Neither was I. Thing is, even if he only kept his job largely as a result of the circumstances, it does underline how young managers need to be given time to learn the job. They can do all the courses available to man, but the learning curve is incredibly steep when they step into the hot seat. Ther...
I assume the club has the sales figures to show whether the extra numbers it generates makes it worth it. I'm sure they have, but do they have the vision to see the longer-term positive impact? So they'd need to make the change ahead of a new season, or people complain that they're being ripped off...
Easily the highest of the season and a full 1,000 higher than my final pre-match estimate. Would be interesting to see how many Leyton Orient fans turned up as it looked a bit over 2,000. The bus to the game was much busier and the North Stand appeared to be much fuller than usual - so it does matc...
It is possible that the whole thing has got to him and he's ceased to think rationally and is willing to cut off his nose to spite his face. I don't know the whole background but its not a conclusion I would jump to. The signs that I am picking up are of someone under pressure who may or may not be...
One of the greatest managers of all time, but he's arguably done very little for five or six years now. Wonder if he might go to China/Saudi. I can't remember which thread it was in but I said yesterday that I think he is a shoo-in for the Newcastle job this summer. I can see Eddie Howe being let g...
How does it work for promoted clubs like Forrest? Are the EFL and Premier League rules the same so they can use 3 years of accounts. Don't think so, they're two different jurisdictions. Bournemouth got fined by the EFL for breaking the rules when they went up, so I don't see how that can have count...
Forest have employed leading sports lawyer Nick de Marco to argue their case, which is thought to centre around the sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham for up to £45m in September. This took place after the accounting deadline, but Forest argue their negotiating tactics allowed them to generate a ...
