His last big idea was the casino iirc. What happened to that??

FFS No wounder we are ran like a piece of shit retail store. Yup. Those boards are packed with successful men with a history of running/or key members of world class organizations.

As a comparison take a look at the Spurs Directors. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-club/investor-relations/club-directors/ or the Arsenal one. http://www.arsenal.com/the-club/corporate-info/the-arsenal-board

....the sad thing is that it isn't rocket science to put a structure in place that gives continuity and diligence in decision making. If Ashely as he pretends doesn't want to do the day to day then a 5 man board with good football and business backgrounds would be the bare essentials to deliver a strategy. What we have is a jumped up scout and an ex-admin bloke making complex decisions they probably have little clue about.

People clueless about the football business running a football club.

Yup.

You could organize the club as a trust (there are various models) and give 51% of the voting rights to the supporters (season ticket holders and so on). The supporters would elect a president once every 3 years who would be accountable to the supporters/trust. The board would also be electable and them and the president would preside over the appointment of the manager. There would be an EGM at the end of every season and a vote for president every 3 years. There is nothing the PL can do about it. They only have say over the fitness of new owners and can block people buying clubs if it is proven they are coming from a history of dodgy dealings etc.... i see. thanks. would toon fans want such an arrangement? it seems to work well for the NFL's green bay packers... Personally I believe all clubs should be structured in this way. It is the only sure way of stopping clubs getting fucked up by idiots/speculators and outside forces with no connection to spirit and history of a club. If I was running the FA/PL that would be the first rule change I would make.

Spurs for instance are a Ltd company but they don't have the fan involvement and voting rights a trust would have.

That would have been too professional.

Last pay off. Yeah it must be, but imagine how awkward it will be if we don't manage to get someone else and he stays at a club were literally nobody wants him. I think he will be replaced. It's so untenable that even the guppies that run the club can't go any other way. Delusion is one thing but psychosis requires intelligence.

Last pay off.

British managers imo are about a decade/two decades behind the cutting edge thinking with reg to training, preparation and tactics. The high intensity hustle and bustle of the PL hasn't helped matters. Think it's fair to note that Mark Hughes has played abroad and has at least had some kind of insight into wider philosophies.

Loads of thick ex-players with axes to grind.

The whole management structure of the club is unfit for purpose. The whole board is out of its depth and none of them have any kind of track record of success or experience that would ever impact in a positive way on the football club. The club is being run on a shoestring of football philosophy and has been weakened over the years by risky and poor investment in the playing staff with no core acquisition policy in place apart from the ability to sell on players for a profit. In the history of English football this period must rank as one of the worst and shameful dismantling of pride and spirit of not only a football club but the city for which the club is a focal point.

He's got a bit of pace but average at most other things. Seems like he hates football the way he saunters around and glares.

The press conferences alone would be worth it.

Looked sick to the gills at the end there.

Giving him a goal for that.

Cushty.

Benny would drill the fuck out of them till they knew what they should be doing every millisecond of the game. It's what he does.

I hate 4-2-3-1 with a passion, it's about having two defensive midfielders all the time. It's crap, i know some teams might play it ok but i just hate the thing, utterly hate it. And when we use it ffs, our midfield are so deep it's ridculous. Wankers formation. It just doesn't work unless the 3 are all practically world class, mobile with massive engines. Leicester play a simple 442 and switch to a 451 without the ball - Okazaki drops in. They always have less possession but focus on the counter with fast turnarounds and transition play. We do the exact opposite. It does help they have a striker with pace and the 2nd striker has a good engine and is aggresive when dropping in. Ranieri keeps it simple and looks to exploit the space as soon as the opp lose the ball. Simple.

The 4231 is great if a team can keep possession like a Chelsea or an Arsenal but really hard on the players if they can't. They have to run about loads more than in a 433. Over time they hate the manager for not changing it...Every game begins to feel like a nightmare.

Those post match interviews. The eyes...Look at the eyes! The geezer is in wonderland.

Every match is just hope that Janmaat and Sissi will do something on the right hand side.

His biggest handicap is that he has one of those faces that when he gets angry you just start laughing.
