Even goldfish struggle in those bowls, not enough oxygen. Most need a bigger tank.

Did you not see him in Miami for England's pre-tournament friendly, he looked like he had heat stroke, dripping with sweat and holding an imaginary microphone. http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/hoddle.jpg

I have a problem with coaches that haven't been the main man before, a head coach isn't so different from a manager, they still have to be a leader, it's arguably the most important requirement. A great coach could still be a pretty poor head coach.

Virtually rules out all of the proposed British names, does it not? As a nation we still struggle with the concept of a manager having no say whatsoever on the players he has to work with. It's also viewed as a bad thing as well which I find laughable really. It's the logical way to work IMO, it gives you the best chance of stability. Spending millions building a squad around a manager that will only be in the job for a few years, then having to rebuild again, is really quite silly. It's not just seen as bad either, alot of people(and the media) are repulsed by the idea.

Hoddle at the world cup was still advocating a Gerrard/Lampard midfield, and he thought Gerrard shouldn't retire from international football because "look at Pirlo".

I think alot of Spurs fans saw Sherwood as an embarrassing amateur with no tactical acumen.

If his intention is definitely to give Carver the job, and there is no doubt about that, then why hasn't he actually given him the job?

The fact he seemed so willing to let Pardew go gives me hope, he could have just said no and saved any bother. I am prepared to be disappointed though. Really that gives you hope? Does opposite for me Get £4m for Pardew. Replace with Carver. £4m up and not having ur manager tied to an 8yr contract win win for Ashley. Get rid for good money and replace on the cheap, if we've learnt one thing that's what Ashley does. It'll be Carver all day long It tells me he probably didn't rate Pardew anymore and wanted him gone, but he didn't want to pay the compensation.

I don't see what's so funny, it's obvious he means a floated set piece to a lanky streak of piss.

Maybe Tuchel is promising but he hasn't got the track record to justify waiting around for 6 months. If we can't find a good coach that wants the job right now in the whole of europe then we're retarded. I don't buy that there is no one that will take the job, that might be true in England as potential coaches(apart from being shit anyway) are surrounded by a maelstrom of press negativity.

It's hard to judge coaches, but I've always seen Carver as more of a mascot than a coach. Just seems like a bit of a grunt.

Same reason Colo was favourite, people are throwing names around willy nilly. No one has a clue, I bet Ashley doesn't have a clue yet.

Detailing the facts and stats probably counts as abuse to these wankers, for some reason it's never been acceptable for us to criticise our managers.

Shelvey...probably. The great dope for England? Of course not. They didn't ban Shelvey for sticking his nut on Debuchy last season, he's another one that always gets away with it.

Palace were apparently right to sack Warnock after he showed the same sort of form Pardew has shown a few times, literally nothing can happen to turn the pundits against him. You can list the stats and facts and they'll just be ignored, that's what agenda's do to people.

This is a happy day for us, the likes of Collymore can go swivel, in a ford mondeo in a quiet car park.

Whats he saying? How we should all be grateful? Was on about how we haven't won a league title since the 1920's and the 9th biggest wage bill in the prem, so we shouldn't be expecting anything better than what we've got. Also said something along the lines about Villa winning the European cup in the 80's so they have more of a right than us to success. Pure wind up merchant. Every time he talks about Newcastle he makes the argument "Newcastle fans wants this, this, and this, WELL DO DO VILLA!!!", as if we should give a shit what Villa or any other clubs wants. He makes stupid arguments but he thinks they're decent because he shouts everyone down.

I was reading a Palace forum and a few of them were talking about him bringing his scouting knowledge, referencing Ayoze Perez.

His mouth works faster than his brain. Why does he shout every sentence? It's hard not to hate him.

Howey thinks Souness and Allardyce were "big name managers", this sums up some of our fanbase.

This guy on talksport is genuinely devastated at Pardew leaving. http://i.imgur.com/H90q8k1.gif

It was a red, but they're so inconsistent when it comes to charging players. Has Fellaini ever been banned for an elbow? Even at Everton he got away with it.

Hoddle came across as a bit of a nutter to me during the world cup.
