Yeah, if you have a spare half an hour

I can summarize it for you;

He's nice.

 

[Mawsley]

I've said it once, and I'll say it again

This whole episode is a complete and utter feckin' shambles from a bunch of clueless feckwits

But apart from the thread, what about the managerial situation?

 

[Real Sharapova]

Looks like we've got a nice new manager then. That Rob Kelly was nice too................

 

[Lako42]

Yeah, if you have a spare half an hour

Which I have, I'm at work.

So, the owners are looking at a coach from the 3rd tier of US soccar and a past it Manager from the Norweigan league (Solskaar did pretty well in Norway as I remember)

If this is true, I can only conclude that the owners have had enough of the whole project and are looking to cash in their chips, probably targeting the US for their buyers.

I was sure the Thai hooker incident was going to have repurcussions but not to this extent! !!!!!

What do you base the "past it " judgement on?
Solskjær did well in an established big club with, by far, the biggest budget in Norway and could buy whoever he wanted. Bradley has worked wonders with a shoestring budget in a newly promoted team.

What a wonderfully made up load of shite.

You think the owners want to feck off now they are in the position to make the big money?

They must have preferred slumming it in the championship making huge losses each year.

Bradley would be a disaster. If Pearson's relationship with the players is as strong as we believe then it would be hard for anyone to follow.

Bradley will have to earn the affections of the players, he hasn't done anything to demand instant respect so he will have to earn that too. He will need to adapt the different style and huge gulf in the quality of football at the same time.

The definition of being set up to fail IMO

 

[SWFox]

Look at his career. he's been managing since 1981 and apart from the national team no team of any note and nothing in the top European leagues. If he was any good, surely he would have done it by now

Bradley has certainly come in in the betting, with Preki loosening off a little. If it is them I'll be very interested to see how they do. Assuming we keep the entire scouting department and they can focus on coaching and tactics it could be very good. Let's not pretend that England is a hotbed of tactical innovation after all.

Churros and cheerleaders at every game

Things are looking up

I agree, it does sound shite. Owners sell for a variety of different reasons. Maybe they need the cash to invest in something. I really have no basis and pure speculation.

My point was this manager pairing, if true and I personally don't think it is, sounds just too implausible.

Yeah, apart from that time he won a Gold Cup, was runner up in the Confederations Cup and topped the group England were in at a World Cup, what did he ever achieve?

If it is them then I'm pretty sure they wont be in charge or involved with player recruitment.

SWS could stay I suppose and head up recruitment

That's certainly what I would hope for.

There seems to some suggestion that Preki is a part of a consortium currently in the throws of buying 4 top English clubs and will be installed as manager/coach at one of them. Maybe not only is he our new manager but also new part owner

 

[M17TT C]

I never reaslised finishing 14th was classed as top 4!

When do we kick off our Champions League campaign?

 

[jb5000]

One consortium couldn't buy more than one club in the EPL
