It's also reported there's disquiet over Bilic spending £15m on Karlan Grant, who has scored 1 in 10, and who wasted a glorious chance at 0-0. Like OGS, he may have earned a stay of execution with a good result.
I re-watched the documentary Football's Dirty Secrets a few days ago. He was named along with his son as being up to his neck in the bungs scandal.
He wasn't supposed to be involved in Boltontransfers but never seemed to be far away. I can send a WeTransfer link to the file to anyone interested. It's on my server here - I have lots of programmes from the 80s and 90s sent to me when I was overseas. Another is the agents programme - the tapping up of Scott Parker and Sonny Pike.
Redknapp was once stopped by the police on the motorway, and told to open the boot of his car. It contained a massive pile of replica Charlton shirts ( all XXS), which he claimed he had bought from an ex fan who loved a pound note.
Back on topic, hopefully the Sack Race Market will re-open tomorrow for another dabble The odds yesterday (minus Bilic) in order of favouritism went - Arteta Wilder Little OGS Fatty Bruce
Tip for all my Followers The Punters Pal aka “HH” thinks that Dean Smith at Villa is a very good price at 20/1 to be next for the tin tack. Villa are a one man team (Grealish) who are currently over achieving. If results turn, Villa’s Chinese owner will move faster than a gourmet diner in a Wuhan wet market.
66 year old Fat Sam appointed to his 7th Premier League club What’s interesting is that apart from Bolton, where he overachieved on the pitch and left them with colossal debts off it, at every other club he has managed, the fans have forced him out of the door. Everton, West Ham, Newcastle etc ....they hated him, and his brand of anti football. And yet foreign club owners keep going back to him.
They think he is a miracle worker and can keep them up. I think Sheffield Utd and WBA are nailed on to go down.
1 point from 11 games - the Blades need snookers. That said, I fancy them against Man United tonight.
One problem Big Sam won't face this season is the exodus of fans from his team's games - especially away matches. One fan on the radio yesterday said their away attendance dropped by 1,000 on his watch. For that reason as much as any (lack of fed-up fans actually at games) if Sam succeeds in keeping WBA up, he may get offered the job for next season as well...
I was talking to a couple of Palace ST holders earlier this year, and they said the style of football they play under Roy Hodgson is the most boring they have ever seen. By and large they accept it because it’s effective & guarantees them 40 points every year. You don’t get many tankings when you play with 10 men behind the ball, even at home. Allardyce is the same, albeit he is also a charmless c*nt.
Its unbelievable .....everyone can see he is clueless yet he’s like a cat with 19 lives. My bet has gone now because of Bilic although I might back him again in the reformed market. I think a 4-0 tanking in the Liverpool game could be the trigger ..:
