Kain Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yeah, he's led a team to third place, one domestic cup final, still in the FA Cup and Champions League, quite clearly the worst manager ever. The typical OTF comment would be "You do know football existed before 1992", but I think "You know football existed before 5 years ago" would be more appropriate for this thread.

mattkidd12 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think Villa fans would be happy with just 2 league defeats all season, to Arsenal and Man Utd away. Yours, Bitter Chelsea fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their spending was made possible by revenue, a world-wide fanbase, and sound business management. They didn't just become mega-wealthy overnight thanks to a slightly shady Russian oligarch taking control. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Thank You for posting what was going to. The only thing I would question from what you have said is slightly shady Russian - The man is in the Mafiosi!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who here on these forums who is a Manchester United fan was cheering for the club back in the black and white TV days when they earned their money? Anyone? Or did you start liking United when they were the best team in England? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> As I'm still only young, I have not seen many times when Manchester United went without silverware. But my dad was a fan for all the years without a sniff of the League, an odd F.A. Cup, relegation even. My grandfather was a fan even before that. I know a lot of supporters who are in exactly the same position. So for you, or anyone else, to try to say all United fans are 'gloryhunters', blow it out your arse.

danish chelsea Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 BARNSLEY 1 - CHELSEA 0 My news comment item looks more and more likely by the next version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRandomGuy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Again Grant got it wrong, had no idea what to do when Barnsley scored. Had no idea what do do before Barnsley scored truth be told. I suspect we'll keep him 'til the end of the season, but we really need someone new in next year, preferably Guus Hiddink. Fantastic coach, and is widely known to have got the Russia job due to his links with Abramovich, hopefully ensuring no Jose-style fallouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopvalho Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 We've gotta get Zola in as the youth coach instead of that Ten Cate guy too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the large majority are armchair supporters, who by donning a replica shirt and having a sky sports subscription think they are a real fan. This basically applies to the top 4 teams in the EPL.

Guest L.Anawak Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Back to the topic. I would love to see a kind of "random factor" when applying as total unknown manager at high profile jobs. Every now and then it should be possible that such a club accepts your bid and appoint you as the new manager. Especially with the new setting since 8.0.2 that makes it nearly impossible to gain good jobs as unemployed unknown manager. That would be really a nice turn and could be funny (how about 1 attempt out of 20?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
