    ... but no title ...

    Claudio Ranieri ... first season at Leicester City ... fraction of the budget that Legobonce has splashed... each season ...

    Thank you, goodnight... and take care sleeping in a tent on that mountain ....

    Btw on that, he was well worth managing a top club after England. Can the same be said of Southgate?

    I didn't mate ... hence the 'memorable' bit ... well done to him ... shame about that title lead eh? ...

    So in summary; Legobonce has managed to achieve the same as Brendan Rodgers (with many times the budget) ... but has fallen tragically short of Claudio Ranieri's achievements (despite many times the budget)?

    Thanks for playing Ponky .... and take care not to trip over your spurs (pun intented) as you head back up that mountain <laugh>

    Flossy you don't learn do you.

    Do you really want to get into a pissing contest about previous managers and trophies at our respective clubs ?

    Or would you like to talk about the most expensively assembled and highest paid squad to get relegated ?

    In you pop again Gramps <laugh>

    Bundesliga fans seem a different level to English fans.

    Breaking News: Ange Postecoglou quits as Spurs boss after waking up from his 3 day drinking session and realising his mistake. The football equivalent of an Ayia Napa tattoo.

    Ange confirmed. 4 year deal. Levy’s statement welcoming Ange with mentions of attacking football and developing players from the academy etc.

    Poch, Maureen and Conte all knew that Levy would have to invest big time into that squad, but he ****ed them off instead.

    Now with that massive stadium debt, Ang is probably one of only a few managers who he could get who will be willing to look at developing that squad over the long term with academy players.

    You should get a decent fee for Kane in the summer, so will offset some of the debt and give you some to reinvest. But from the outside it looks very much like you are starting from scratch again

    Welcome to us circa 2007 :)
