Sami and his great start at FC Zurich

[Virgo's Haircut]

Glancing at the Swiss league table, it seems our former manager is doing really well. Bottom of the table after 7 games. I think we got rid at the right time!

They've only had one game since he's been in charge.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Did he not only officially take over yesterday?

My apologies, thought he was there longer...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Taking over a struggling team? At least he now has some understanding of how Chris Hughton felt last season

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

You would think (or, at least, I would) that FC Zurich shouled be a wealthy club. With all the money and Nazi gold in the bank vaults they should be the richest club in Europe and win everything

I might be wrong! Just sure I've read that date somewhere before.

Wiki, which is never wrong, says 21st August.

Two games ....... Lucern and Basel, both of whom are at the top end of the table. Lost both games but probably no surprise there considering the difference in the teams. Bazel already have a goal difference of 14 after just 7 games so no real reflection of Sami's managerial prowess.

Good job he has only taken over as god knows where they would be if he had 7 games to coach and manage them

He was moving house when they played against Lucern, and was watching from the stands against Basel.

He is a human being and I would never wish him or his family bad.
But what makes a director look at his record here and go 'that's the man for us'?

Hyppia is an absolute charlatan and should be fined under the trades description act. He is not a football manager.

Was a very poor Manager for us agreed but he doesn't deserve the sort of abuse he got and for some reason is still getting.
I am sure he is a decent bloke.

Agreed - he could have just stayed here and taken the money, couldn't he.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Reminds me of Tony Adams' ill-fated venture into management. He will keep getting jobs, but each one will be slightly less attractive and prestigious than the previous. Eventually he'll be coaching somewhere like Albania.

I haven't seen any personal abuse aimed at him. Who has done that? Obviously there's a collective agreement that he's a terrible football manager, but I've seen nothing said more than that.

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

Who?



Why would you "watch" something like that in Zurich?

On "account" of being "unidentifiable."

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Trust he's only renting?
