The odds on Giggs took a massive dive at roughly the same time too, though. They might be taking Pardew off as a precaution. The ****er probably put his own dismissal cash on it, if he has got it! Monk got shafted by some behind-the-scenes crap, if the rumour-mill is correct.
All of the previous managers were head and shoulders above Bradley. An appointment that had as near to 0% chance of succeeding as any in history. Other than the American link to the owners, why would anyone appoint a French 2nd division incumbent boss? Short of divine intervention the Swans are going down and any manager looking to have a long-term career would be best advised to stay well clear.
I'm surprised he was appointed, but having done so, why not give the guy a chance? Pardew would be my bet. Like Allardyce, he's experienced and is happy to continually step on and off the merry-go-round.
If I was Pardew, I would bide my time. Much as I dislike the guy, it is certain he will get offers in the New Year. No need to go to Swansea when probably the Norwich job will become available very soon and also the Ipswich one. Both would be more stable than Swansea currently is.
"Fans should take me seriously" says Ian Holloway. Oh please. This from the man who allowed Charlie Adam to commit GBH on Gareth Bale when he was manager of Blackpool. Difficult to take a manager seriously when he' s just lost 6 on the bounce and talks gibberish, plus has a shaven head and a beard.
I think it's the ref who allows (or otherwise) things to happen on the pitch and, since you lot seem to have a completely different rule book to association refs you will never be with them
Another bizarre appointment. He got Blackpool up and very nearly kept them up but everything else he's touched in the last decade has turned to ****. He got Palace up as a result of Dougie Freedman's work and an awful lot of luck but he was cruelly exposed in the PL. His time at Millwall was bloody awful. He was a spent force and even taking his Rangers credentials into account, he's not in the top 100 options to turn that club around. He'll be gone soon and if they're very lucky they might get someone like Gary Rowett who will work at building something. It's a shame what's happened at that club and Les Ferdinand must be starting to live on borrowed time,
A United fan with a generally positive outlook on the officialdom in the PL. In other news, the Pope's bear took a **** in a catholic kettle recently found in Sherlock Forest.
Anyone seen Nasri's Twitter? Apparently he's been scoring away from home off the field too and his gf(presumably ex) called him out using his Twitter account
It was ****ing hilarious Even when he was trying to delete the tweets, his (now ex) girlfriend was still on his account posting stuff Footballers really are so stupid, honestly!
You thought that Vardy shouldn't have been sent off for the offence that he's currently banned for. You know, the two-footed tackle that was unsuccesfully appealed against. Nice glass house you've got there.
This is the girl that did it: Just thought I'd let people know, so that they could avoid having their social media hacked and that. Yep. Definitely knocking her back if I bump into her when I'm out and about...
I wonder what she saw in the midget multi-millionaire footballer? Let's face it, if he wasn't a footballer, he'd need Rohypnol. please log in to view this image
