Moyes Lampard or Rodgers before the end of this month

Even if any of those go, I'd still say all three are royally fucked, which is lovely.

Beautiful city as well.

I loved my trip there a few years back. Love Belgium full stop and the people are great, they seem to love the English and Geordies especially from my experience.

Parker is nothing like Pardew man. My God :lol:

I don’t mind Parker, I hope he does well, it’s a brave move and considering his age, he’s not done too bad in management thus far. He has more about him than say Gerrard and Lampard for example. We need our players and managers to experience football away from England, it broadens the horizon, just look at our own Sir Bobby.

Although I agree it's good for managers to get experience abroad, SBR isn't really a good example. He had won the FA cup and UEFA cup with Ipswich & managed England before he went abroad so he got to manage top teams abroad because of his experience. He didn't go to a smaller team abroad as a stepping stone to gain experience.

On occassion he can gee up the lads and ride the wave of good team spirit and a bit of magic. But actual coaching? A proper defensive or offensive plan? Myth.

 

He's got promoted from the championship twice so you'd imagine he's got more about him than just riding a wave?

Aye, but it’s more of a closed shop today, a young Sir Bobby today with Ipswich would do well just to keep them up in say the top-flight or take them up into the top-flight. I get your point though!

Lampard? No he hasn't.

 

Pardew has 1 promotion to the PL with West Ham.

 

You must be referring to Parker? Haven't followed his career closely but he does have 2 promotions. I'm sure Brucey has more. I've not followed his sides or his style to the same degree as Lampard. But I would be surprised if either Parker or Lampard managed as many PL games as either Bruce or Pardew in their careers. I think the managerial bar has been raised.

 

Pardew managed to get 2 fairly unfancied sides into Europe. 2 FA Cup fials with unfancied sides. I don't back the young lads to do much better in their careers.
