John P Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Pochettino is a class act. Great technique on those free kicks, too. Love seeing ex-pros with a slight belly on them showing that their touch and technique is still class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddydog Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Keegan now has to be content with being the last English manager to guide a side to runners-up spot in Premier League history. You read that right – since Newcastle’s dramatic 1995-96 season no English manager has even finished second. I did not know that. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/nov/10/england-club-football-1996-arsene-wenger-manchester-united-newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Apparently Red Bull are buying Swindon. Tim Sherwood has just been appointed their director of football.

joeyt Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Power said that Sherwood will "head up all aspects, including transfers, the way we play, the formations and the picking of the team", implying a strong level of day-to-day involvement. "A director of football is normally someone who doesn't put their tracksuit on and doesn't interact with the team - that won't happen here," said Power." Sounds like he's going to be manager in all but name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So he's basically manager alongside a pre-existing 'head-coach', then. It'll end in tears; Tactics Tim will be just as shit in any division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 All so Sky get the atmosphere pitch side and maintain their entertainment business. What a load of w*** You against the move? Aye. Clubs should be doing more to preserve their own atmospheres and fans and not relying on a hard core contingency of away fans to create something to shout down. Introduce safe standing and singing sections where like minded fans can create an atmosphere. That will come with time I suspect now that Hillsborough is being put to bed somewhat. As will reduced ticket prices because actually televised games are killing live football in this country at present. Why spend £30 to sit in a library with a (possibly) shit view? When you can watch it at home or in the pub for nowt. Eventually people will begin to turn away from the club's they so dearly love unless the FA cap ticket pricing. Even then some will still walk away. It will improve atmospheres for the short term but it will lead to increased crowd trouble, stewarding and policing. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say I suspect that this has more to do with preserving the entertainment factor for Sky than it does owt else. The game in this country will implode eventually if they're not careful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
