Other Clubs News Discussion Thread 2

Yeah he's hardly a complete unknown. Did great things with Hoffenheim and arguably Leipzig. Also managed Schalke and Stuttgart back in the day. But he is also a very bizarre choice in many ways as he's not a 'big club' manager and I don't think he has worked as a manager for a couple of years.

He's just a placeholder until a big name emerges.

I see him described as "one of football's great thinkers" and such. When I see that compliment paid to a manager I feel it translates into "Very intelligent but the personality of a wet fish and absolutely no man-management ability."

Baggies fans have come disguised as plastic seats , how devious

Oh how I laughed when in the two seasons they were actually in the league above us they adorned themselves as the biggest club in the Midlands.

He'll probably take their DoF role at the end of season and sadly that'll be the end of the meme that is United. He has to do disastrously this season for United to be dissuaded. He'll identify some of the real issues at United, no proper transfer policy, no long term planning and a severe lack of quality coaching and training facilities that are frankly unlikely to be better than our own. Plus he'll help them get their data management and analysis right which they basically don't have.

It is cold tonight and it's a long journey from Oldbury and Halesowen

Eddie Howe somehow making Newcastle even less interesting to watch. Only 20% possession and taking an age over every goal kick and throw in

Snooker champs on the Beeb if you’re struggling mate, much more dynamic

I was looking for an equally boring equivalent just to pep GGS up.

I nearly had a 147 break. Potted a red and a black then missed the next pot. On a roll then ballsed it up! Close but no coconut!

Pocket billiards- now there's a sport of champions

Wonder if the euphoria persists at St James' as they march towards the Championship?

Yeah. I think we probably need to keep quiet about marching towards the championship for the time being.

Who is going to sign for them? 15/16 games now and no win.

Deans gone to Norwich and put daylight between them as well.

I’ve had to put my glasses on to watch Brighton vs Leeds. Who the fuck thought light bluey-purple with white would be a good away kit vs a team in blue and white

 

[wittonite]

Just had a look at the Championship table. Were we ever really there, or was it just a bad dream? Seems so long ago.

Yes we were there, don't want to go there again, but some great memories anyway.

Ahem!

Carroll and Drinkwater both scored in Reading's win over Swansea. Funny old game.
