Mail - Ardiles to replace McGhee ...

[Schrödinger's Toad]

I'm prepared for a "fixtures" if this is elsewhere, but buried in the Mail football supplement is this bizarre story ...

Ossie Ardiles, the Argentina World Cup winner who became a Tottenham folk hero, is poised to return to Britain this week as manager of Championship strugglers Brighton. Ardiles, 53, has been kicking his heels since leaving J-League side Tokyo Verdy 1969 in July and his signing would be a major coup for Brighton, although not so good for present boss Mark McGhee. His side have won only once this season and crashed 3-1 at home to Norwich yesterday.

How odd.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

agreed.....quite bizzare!

Perhaps he can get the best out of Turienzo. Think it is paper shite as usual, McGhee is doing a fair job in difficult circumstances. We have thrown a lot of points away this season.

 

[sullyupthewing]

Did they need to fill some space in there paper, that is utter bolloxs,

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

The story is bollocks.

 

[Ernest]

NEVER

 

[Silent Bob]

POTLESS Dick Tight doesn't have the TESTICULAR FORTITUDE to sack the jocko clown.

 

[O Lads]

Argentina world cup winner. As a player or manager?
If as a manager why not

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

[Yorkie]

NEVER

Argentinian worse than a British manager eh?

Do you really need to ask? his managerial record is very scetchy although Spurs did regularly lose 6-5 etc when he was in charge so we would see lots of goals. He was IMHO one of the best players to come out of Argentina in the past 40 years and is a legend in his own country.

The story is absolute bollox though.

When I see TRIED and tested ENGLISH managers available we don't want that Argie idiot

 

[maidstoneseagull]

I really do hope this is not true.

Exactly, especially when legends like Harry Basset are just up the road

Exactly!, especially when legends like Harry Basset are just up the road

 

[Superseagull]

Very odd story. Did hear thought that it was Ardiles who recommended Turenzio to the Albion. Thought it was a load of old Bo**ocks at the time, but maybe there was some truth to it afer all

 

[Stinky Kat]

Its shit, how are we gonna afford to pay up MM's contract.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I think, though I have not read it myself and am only going on what my Pompey fan mate said, that this was also in the News of the World today.

I'd rather have MIKE Bassett than that Argie TWAT

Absolute twat-sputum.
