There's barely anything he says that I agree with here and more than a smattering of condescension and excuse making for shit English managers like himself. He infers the Eddie Howes success is because of money, or at least goes out of his way to make that point. Who was the last footballer who got better under Sean Dyche? Dyche is a disgrace and will be lucky to get another job. Moyes is hardly innovative but had Everton playing some half decent stuff and not just lumping it from Pickford after a week in the job.

MagPar Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) My Scottish team dunfermline have just given Neil Lennon the managers job until the end of the season. If he keep us up he signs a 3 year deal and gets a juicy bonus. If we go down, we part ways with him. We're currently in 9th place out of 10 with 7 games to go(Scottish Championship), 10th is automatic relegation, we're 6 points ahead of 10th with a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference. 9th place goes into a relegation/promotion playoff with the winner of the 1st division playoff winners. We're 2 points behind 8th with a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference. We've also got both teams to play again so it's in our own hands. Lennon is our 3rd manager this season, the other two were hopeless, we've also been bought (2 months ago) by an American consortium and so far they've splashed the cash, getting us new players in (mostly loans but we've paid for a couple),we also spent money removing 1st manager, spent money on the second as well as spending to get rid of him 11 games later. It's not big bucks compared to Newcastle but it's a small fortune to Dunfermline. For the record, Dunfermline are arguably the biggest team in the Scottish championship due to our much larger support than many SPL teams, we've just had a bad 10-20 years where we've underwent administration and nearly went out of business due to older owners overspending, leaving us in the shit and seeing us relegated to the lowest league (at the same time as Rangers). Thankfully the fans came together to keep us alive. Here's hoping he installs confidence back into the players and helps to keep us up before building a squad capable of getting us back to where we belong, the SPL I'm aware this story will have no interest to 99.6% of the forum but it might interest someone. On top of that, we play in black and white, just like Newcastle, hence my love and support for Newcastle as my English team. Come on yee Pars. Come on the tooooooon.

STM Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 On the Lampard debate. IIRC he was quite impressive in his analysis during the euros. Very understated, knowledgeable and insightful. Whether he will ever be a great coach, I doubt, but he might have enough to make a good PL manager. I can see him a bit like Moyes. Out of those ex-players, Gerrard, Rooney etc. Lampard is certainly the most likely to succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagPar Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Fuck the Bairns, scummiest fans ever. Lennon has a decent track record as a manager, that was with high spending clubs like celtic and hibs though. He did win a cup with an obscure foreign team though. He's a big deal for a club such as ours though. As long as he keeps us up then I'll be happy.

Jewel Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It is irritating me more than it should, the amount of times people say Arreola instead of Iraola. I've even seen it done on this forum.

James Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 To be honest I think it is OK if a player has a longer commute by car for family reasons so long as: - they are not reducing training workload - they are integrating socially with team mates They should also be encouraged to hire a private driver so that they are relaxing in the backseat rather than driving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
