Doesn’t have to be someone who has been amazing at club football tbh - Spain’s manager was sacked in 2011 from Alves in the 2nd tier and has only really been in the national set up in terms of U19s and U21s successfully.
Big difference is he’s set the players up with an understanding on how to...
Odd thread. We should just enjoy a final and hopefully a euro trophy.
Spain is a tough ask they are the best side so far in terms of the quality of football but on the day anything can happen.
Southgate isn’t no tactical genius - I thank the Swiss myself for playing 3421 - caused us to...
Not massive but they were getting only £35 million last summer so likely less than £30 million. He pulled out the Chelsea move and most likely got to dictate the terms a bit when signing a new deal. Bit like Ali Mac did with us. Both clubs did the right thing imho they got the extra few quid...
Reminds me very much like RDZ appointment- club says nothing names are linked and are allegedly close to signing then out the blue RDZ is in and he’s been only person we have ever spoken to.
This is dreadful.
If I’d been convicted of a crime whilst being defended by Kier I would be looking to appeal right now. As for Rushi what is there to like bar his slightly better debating skills. Can’t believe these are the best candidate for the main 2 parties in this country.
I’m sure when we employed RDZ he wasn’t the name touted by the papers and everyone “in the know” at the start. Then out the blue he was our number one target only man we had spoken to and he was here.
KM may be on our list may not. I’d guess he is somewhere as would be daft not to consider a...
It is still possession based football. Back 4 and a double pivot in build up. Little bit of protection from the double pivot as well as they sit deeper to stop the counter attacks, which may be essential as the front 4 seem to have a play where you like policy and he close to the ball. Ideally I...
Was all a bit bizarre yesterday they were on the pitch celebrating like they had won the title not just finished in there worst ever place in the premier league with there fans all going a bit mad.
Whilst in Manchester the blue half are celebrating the title again. The gap between them in terms...
We are one of the very few top flight clubs that is actually run properly like a business with the security of the football club at the heart of it. Most clubs in the PL have sponged away money left right and centre with no real structure on what they are doing. Very few other businesses in the...
Fair play to them terrific end of season. New manager has got one of the worst CFs in the PL to realise with his height and strength there is most likely a good striker there.
Hard part for palace as we know is keeping hold of the quality players and also managers working out and trying to...
Excitement - it’s a new chapter. As much as I’ll miss RDZ the opportunity has arisen for someone else to build on the phenomenal talent already at the club.
Will miss him. Was a sensational journey and whirlwind 2 seasons. Will always be grateful for the journey he’s taken us on. That said in TB we all trust. We would have ideas already in our mind of who we want next and I’m excited to see who is next and what they will bring.
