    I think hiag has a point. Roy isn't actually that bad of a choice for leicester. Yes he did **** for England liverpool and blackburn but these jobs were too big for him and he couldn't handle the pressure. He kept wba up year after year and he did the same to with fulham.

    This is exactly the manager leicester need.

    I can pretty much guarantee a stubborn manager like pep taking over a relegation threatened side would take them down as he would probable have his morgan and huth doing cruyff turns in their own box

    I agree, I think Woy would do a decent job for Leicester. I was just pointing out that HIAG had done a u-turn on the issue, as initially he said their owners would be wumming them by appointing Woy.

  7. Thanks, Luvvy.

    Pixie knows that, too.

    It is a shame that he persists with his former wum-like ways. It is difficult to hold a decent football conversation with someone who is constantly working to a wum-agenda, because you never know if the inconsistencies in their arguments are down to their planting wum-seeds or a general lack of knowledge. The old HIAG would have gone with the latter, I am sure, but the new HIAG is prepared to give Pixie the benefit of the doubt.

    One day, I will be able to hold a half-decent footy conversation with Pixie. That is my hope.

    Nope ... he is not.... Shakey has far better credentials ... played a key role in managing us to the title ... Woy has never been anywhere close to the EPL title ... as to the longer term ... it is probably no coincidence that Luis Eneique has decided to quit Barcelona at the end of the season <whistle>

    Woy looks to be the ideal replacement for Bilic at West Ham when the inevitable Sword of Pornoclese falls ... makes some alliterative sense at least ... and just like the Liverpool job he took, realistic expectations would be outside the top 4... but possibly a Europey place :)

  11. I have not advocated that LCFC engage Hodgson, as you will have read in my posts. Indeed, I have stated that they ought to stick with Shakespeare until at least the end of the season.

    My argument has been entirely along the lines that Hodgson wouldn't be as bad a manager for LCFC as some people are making out, and no worse for LCFC than a more exotic choice.

    My arguments have been clearly and logically set out.

    If you read back you'll see I posted that Guus Hiddink was interested in the job. Guus has far better credentials than Woy and I think would be the better of the two.

    The turd in shining armour is here to save the new gimp. How about a new Pastebucket?

  15. I think that Hiddink would be a better gamble for LCFC than someone untried in the Prem, such as Simeone.

    However, I would not say that Hiddink would be any better a gamble than Hodgson.

    If you can learn to grow a pair, then you won't get so offended when somebody challenges your opinion. You can't cry 'wum' because I've pointed out the contradictions in your argument. <ok>

    Another hidden dig at Piskie eh gimp? Simeone would be the better of the other two as he is a passionate manager and a good man manager. Jose hadn't managed in the Premier until he came to Chelsea and you know how that turned out.

    There's no way that Simeone would ever go to Leicester, the only reason he's being mentioned here is because you said that he's no better than Roy Hodgson and now Hodgson is being linked with Leicester. However when you brought that up, it was in the context of Arsenal, because you were on a **** wum and were trying to suggest that Arsenal might appoint Hodgson or David Moyes, because Simeone is no better.

    You then said that Leicester's owners were going to pull off the biggest wum ever on their fans, by appointing Hodgson, but now seem to be saying that he'd do a good job for them.

    I'm happy to talk football, but if you're going to continue to chat ****e, then expect to be pulled up for it <ok>

  19. I thought we'd already agreed on that?

    I have noticed that one of your tactics is to keep going over the same non-points, even when a poster has already acknowledged it.

    Let us agree that Simeone is not going to LCFC.


    I'm not sure what the significance is in this argument of yours, since it doesn't really matter why he was mentioned.

    The pertinent point - and our point of departure - is that you believe that Simeone would be the better manager for LCFC in helping them avoid relegation, and my argument is that, in this situation, the better gamble for LCFC to take would be to appoint Hodgson.

    I am not saying that Hodgson is the best option that LCFC can take (I have already stated that Shakespeare is, in my view, their best short-term option), and I am not saying that Simeone is a crap manager. I am merely expressing the view - with reasoned arguments - as to why I believe that, given a hypothetical choice between Simeone and Hodgson, the latter would be the better gamble for LCFC to take.

    It's a hypothetical scenario that is never likely to face LCFC, so neither of us will know who would be right. I fail to understand why you are getting so distressed about it.

    That was a different topic, but my point remained valid - there is no guarantee that Simeone would be better for Arsenal than Hodgson.

    You see to believe that simply because a manager is foreign and has done well abroad that he will automatically be suited to managing in the Prem. I do not take such a narrow and naïve view.


    Just because someone takes an opposing view to your own doesn't mean that they are wumming.

    My arguments have been carefully and logically set out. To state that I am wumming is, quite frankly, juvenile and unhelpful.

    If you are going to lose an argument, do it gracefully. Calling "wum" when you lose is not dignified.


    I said that only because there was such universal disapproval to his appointment from Foxes fans.

    You are wrong to state I am claiming that his appointment would be a good job for LCFC. See above, when I repeat (for the fifth or sixth time) that my argument regarding Hodgson is merely by way of comparison with so-called exotic foreign managers who have never managed in the Prem.

    If LCFC could appoint any manager they wanted, I wouldn't choose either Simeone or Hodgson.


    I am content that it is plain for everyone on this board to see where the problem, not only lies, but has always lain.

    A mature poster doesn't scream "wum" when a fellow poster takes a contrary and well-argued view to his own.

    I will continue to discuss footy with you, Pixie, but you are going to have to get away from your former wum-like ways. They do you absolutely no credit.
