Wow
I'm with Forest on this and glad clubs are starting to speak up. Having a Luton fan in charge was disgraceful and certainly not unplanned. Like when the EFL randomly chose scum fan Anthony Taylor for the Derby second leg.. :roll:

Don't think they're biased, just poor. We used to lead the world in reffing, doubt we're top 15 now

Arne Slot new odds on favourite for the Liverpool job.

Unai Emery just signed a new deal at Villa and earning much praise.

Andoni Iraola done a brilliant job at Bournemouth 1st season.

Old Vic knew a good manager, just got fixated on useless tossers :lol:

Trouble is that even if one of them had come to us it may not have been a good fit in much the same way that Rutter wasn't. They may not have been suited for a relegation battle and trying to turn around a team mid season.

Also anyone can see a manager or player doing well and say let's try and sign them. Trouble is you then have to convince them to sign which was something Orta was poor at bar offering the selling club too much and also throwing big wages at a player such as Llorente and Rodrigo. Also a lot of difference between simply seeing a good player and signing a player that will fit the system or fit the need of the manager, Rutter being an obvious example of a good player who was signed at totally the wrong time in terms of what we needed.

Orta's only real success was with the scattergun signing of youngsters en masse in the hope that a few would make it.

Klopp announcing he was leaving early has really backfired.

Also this season is being filmed for a documentary :lol:

And Glasner got Palace playing some slick stuff
Not all RedBull graduates were useless clearly.

Doing well

Wow I agree with Wayne Rooney on something.

Sick of managers moaning about how much football the multi millionaire players play with the 1st class travel, 1st class accommodation, 1st class elite recovery tech and process.

Well done Wayne.

Well it looks like PL teams will need Tardis' next season as journeys will involve time travel , going back once for each time to a place where they haven't yet discovered fire or invented the wheel yet , the place that time forgot . Mind you could be all sorts of records set for the worst side ever , unless they get as lucky as they have this season.....seems to me they have been given every sides luck . Bloody bumpkins .

I was watching the highlights last night, Liverpool`s front three are like 3 bamfords
Couldnt hit a barn door.

It is quite hillarious how my co-worker was pumping the war drum less than a month ago about how they were on for the quad!

- What i cant wait for is this netflix on the wall documentary that they announced after they won the carabo cup

My my, its going to be quite a watch :) :)
