:lol: You need to decide. Well defined rules avoid uncertainty. 

 

Tbf I think your last definition was good enough. "The tactically bereft charlatans that live on the managerial carousel".

 

Damn did I write it like that? Fuck I'm good.

That would be a good idea.

 I would say a PFM is someone who fits most of the following categories:

 

Shit football

mates in the media giving him an easy ride because he’s British/Irish.

been on the carousel most likely because he is good connections or because he did a good job that one time.

Doesn’t do much coaching or tactics but gets on well with the lads.

 

1) British

2) 58-70 yrs old

3) Used to be a player (team success is irrelevant)

4) Plays proper 442

5) Might have 1 or more low prestige trophies

6) Always called a 'safe pair of hands' when a team is in danger of relegation

7) Places effort above skill and tactics

8) Never accepts blame for defeat

9) Inability to change during a game to change its direction

10) Loves a 60-75 minute pointless substitution. Usually to add a fullback

11) Relies on mates and old clubs for scouting, very occasionally finding a gem from some footballing backwater

There's always an undercurrent of scepticism towards anything foreign when discussing PFMs. 

 

If you can do this with their name and it sounds like something that would naturally roll off Paul Merson's tongue then they are probably a PFM:

 

"If his name was Antonio Púlis we'd all be raving about him, Jeff"

:lol: I am hilariously in over my head running this. It's 1000 percent going to be a shambles. Absolute fucking farce. I can hear the clown music in my head already.

It'll be a absolute shit, several people will call me a cunt, and we'll move on.

 

I mean, he did predict it...
