Easy win.

Kinda bad saying it's a negative thing a kid about to die gets some happiness. Sure, in an equal world all dying kids would get the same treatment. But it doesn't mean we should be cynical cunts because one got "lucky".

You're just underlining the very argument I'm making that managers need to prove themselves outside the big leagues to get a shot at the big leagues, and that good results in "lesser" leagues is a compliment to their skill - not a stick to beat them with. See my Marco Silva example. If Bradley had proven himself in the big leagues, he'd not need to prove himself outside the big leagues to get a shot at the big leagues. What even is this argument. What. Did you read anything I wrote? And yes, I watched that loss. I also watched Klinsmanns US lose 4-0 to Costa Rica, lose the Gold Cup to Jamaica and an absolute embarrasment of a 2-0 loss against Guatemala. Again, the argument I'm making is not that he didn't fuck up royally at Swansea - he did. And even though it was very early to sack him after eleven games, you could argue it was the right call depending on how Clement does. The argument is that he was well hung by the media and fans before he even had a chance when his track record prior to Swansea was very good - which is what I'm annoyed with. I'm equally annoyed at the way people went on about Marco Silva just recently. Guy has a fucking league title as a manager, yet Ryan Giggs should get the fucking gig instead. Fuck.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_men's_national_soccer_team_managers The football was much, much better under Klinsmann. Bradley's team was dreadful to watch. I've probably watched 80% of all US matches the past decade or so. However, you are entitled to your opinion, but that is again not the argument here. The argument is that Bob Bradley deserved his shot in the PL on merit due to his 25 years of coaching experience and what he's done with those years. The argument is that if a guy with Bradley's record is a "horrible appointment" before he's been given a shot in the PL - because he's never managed in a "big" league - then how does anyone deserve the chance in a "big" league to get that "big" league experience? Would Ryan Giggs make a better managerial appointment because he's played for Manchester United? That's what most UK pundits were saying, at least. Which is nonsense. People should've looked at his appointment as an interesting one, and discussed his past meris (which are quite good - even if not in any major leagues). Rather the argument was that an American nobody got the gig ahead of Ryan Giggs and he would fail because he was American and called a penalty a "PK". That is what annoys me. Yes, he failed, and there's understanding as to why he was sacked. People did not know that in advance though, his record prior to Swansea was great. It's just a bullshit situation, see Marco Silva for another example. Why didn't Hull try for Ryan Giggs instead? I mean, he played for Manchester United after all. Who does this guy think he is, making teams overperform in sub-standard leagues and then going to another sub-standard league doing well with a weird team whose name we can't pronounce. Who does he think he is?! Clearly has no career that merits a shot at a PL job!!

I give up, fucking guy comes in trying to say Klinsmann's USA was better than Bradley's. There's no reason to the world.

That I think he should've gotten more time to turn things around is my personal bias though. I'm not arguing that there weren't reasons to sack him, there clearly were.

Nah, you're just missing the point of my argument. The argument is not whether or not he did well at Swansea - he did horribly - the argument is that he was not a bad appointment when being appointed. The media was out for blood the second he was announced without even considering what he'd done in his career. He absolutely earned the chance on merit, and his past career made him a good fit for Swansea. In the end it turned out badly, yes. But that does not mean he shouldn't have gotten the chance.

Again, the worst kind of argument to make. He doesn't have top league experience, so a bad appoitment. Well, how do you get top league experience if not by actually doing an amazing job in poorer leagues? (Unless your name is Ryan Giggs or similar). I'm not saying he did well at Swansea. He did horrible. However he had eleven games and the media were on his back before he had the team play their first game under him. He was an astute appointment if you take him by his actual merits throughout his career. 1. Does well on a small budget. 2. Makes his teams full of mediocre to bad players constantly overperform. 3. Can manage to keep things going even when losing his best players. 4. Had a well thought out game plan that's proven effective throughout his career (see his career win percentage pre-Swansea.) Admittedly point 4 failed at Swansea, but Swansea did not have the players that suited his preferred style - yet. He has a very clear preferred style of play and buys players suiting that style, which I think is how he keeps getting his teams to perform well even if the players are shit/were shit for other teams. They suit the system and the system is very effective. Saying he was a bad appointment based on his lack of "pedigree" is amazingly stupid. Sorry. He did fail massively at Swansea though, but he was sacked without even getting a window - which he had made plans for already. I don't know if he could have turned it around, but I believe the media sacked him. Not his actual eleven games in charge. If he was British he'd have gotten at least until mid-February, for better or worse.

But Americans call "football" "soccer". He's clearly shit. The hatred for Bradley is based on nothing but Trump-esque logic

Last season he was one goal from promotion, this season he was well positioned for a promotion push given the season was only one and a half month long.

fyp

Allardyce should be sacked imo. But Bradley was awful. And has zero track record. Sam is a busted flush though. Pure complete and utter bullshit. He literally took a team with zero budget to compete for the title against teams with insane budgets (comperatively). Leaving with a win percentage of 52.78% and the team one match from being relegated the season after he left - just to knock home just what a miracle he did there. 45.45% win percentage at Le Havre, on course for promotion when Swansea snapped him up. Made the US a competitive outfit on the world stage - then compare that achievement to what his replacement managed to do (tank the US completely) with a much better pool of players. 54.91% career win percentage - all with teams not expected to do well compared to their opposition. Trump level bullshit from TCD. Bradley is one of the better low budget managers in the world. Yet to see him with a big budget so can't judge him on that.

Is Cronky your mother? If she was, I would of took her to Switzerland.

I was about toe say that I'd offer to get you a ticket but I'm limited to only 1 which I have already got, and all my friends are going as well. So... what you're saying is that you don't have a ticket for him, phrased in a way that sounds like you did have a ticket for him?

82% I forgot Nicky Butt existed and got angry at it clearly being mistaken about Coloccini

I honestly don't have any more energy to be negative. If he leaves, then I'm out until ashley is gone. If he stays then I will try to be positive about my NUFC experience.

He's apparently just tired of football and having to train like fuck every day.

Leicester board has given Ranieri a vote of confidence. He'll be out soon then

Lars Lagerback is the new Norway manager

My favourite part is still how he just straight up unapologetically calls Felix Magath an absolute cunt Much better live.
