New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Brown Nose]

The world needs more Sol Bamba's.

Neil Danns sent off for violent conduct a couple of minutes from the end of Bury's game at Bristol Rovers. No reports of him fighting either the fourth official or his own manager on the way off.

To be fair who wouldn't want to lump Warnock?

Initial 2 match ban for Sol, could be more.

Two match bans are given for "Using offensive or insulting or abusive language/gestures"; I can not imagine that a violent conduct ban will not follow.

Wasn't expecting that. Crazy decision.

Can't believe Rowett was sacked. It will serve Brum right now that they end up in a relegation fight and get nowhere near the playoffs. The new owners have ideas of grandeur and must have someone lined up on big money- Zola has been mentioned - he flatters to deceive tbh. Or Big Sam? Would he go down a level though. Can't see it being Nigel Pearson either.

Kevin Poole amongst the coaching staff who lost their jobs as well. So whoever is coming in has his own team of people.

Zola confirmed. That is up there as one of the most ridiculous decisions in football.

It's becoming the norm. Foreign investors with no real knowledge of football want a manager with a big name at the club. It's all about getting the club a high profile immediately, it's short-termism personified.

I like Zola, a nice bloke, was a terrific player but not a good coach/manager. In the long run sticking with Rowett would more than likely have proved successful and got the club noticed.

You would have to be a right dick of an owner to go for a fancy name manager. What sort of a nutjob would appoint someone like Sven for instance?!

Or Claudio Ranieri.

Lloyd Dyer equalises against Newcastle with his fourth goal of the season in 22 starts. I'm so proud of him.

Liam Moore scored for Reading in their 3-2 win at Blackburn.

Liam Moore scored for Reading

Patrick van Aanholt for Sunderland

Anthony Knockaert for Brighton

Martyn Waghorn two for Rangers

 

[Motown Fox]

Knockaert also provided the cross for Brightons winner too

 

[Motown Fox]

Yann Kermorgant tried the chipped penalty again yesterday, having earlier opened the scoring for Reading.
And he hit the bar!! Thus failing again, does he ever learn. Then like an idiot he tried to volley in the rebound, but fortunately for Reading McCleary got there first to head in to give Reading their second goal.

Ian Holloway making excuses again

Jermaine Beckford was sent off 3 minutes in to his return from suspension.

Great goal by Knockaert in that 3-0 victory by Brighton over QPR and then he made a tribute to his recently deceased father.

Holloway heading for failure once again. He might not be sacked in the morning, but it won't be too long at this rate.
