His assistant is Junior Lewis Hockaday isn't even a "young and upcoming" English manager who nobody has heard of... He's 56, and managed Forest Green
For getting rid of Robben Costa doen't seem to like the loan striker role, how do Chelsea play ... oh **** ... Im sure Costa will come good, apart from the 2 piss poor games the entire Spain squad had, ive not really seen enough of him.
Rather 'ageist' Jack ... I'd also make the point that had Jose Mourinho been English he would have been most unlikely to have got a shot at management ... as a player he played (very briefly) in the Portugese second division, which is not nearly as good as our Championship ... his first step into 'football management' came as an interpreter for Bobby Robson at Sporting Lisbon ... I hope this bloke does well for Leeds he may be just what they need ... and he does have Benito Carbone alongside him ...
He's 56, and this is his managerial career to date... "Setting the world alight" would be over-statement of the century!!
He's planning to get them out of the Championship in his first season....I doubt League One was what the owners meant though
West Brom don't worry me and that signing does little to change that. Rumour was that Hull offered him £50k a week so I think they've got away with that nicely.
Jose Mourinho is a lucky man. David Cameron is going to freeze Roman Abramovic's accounts because of his relationship with Putin. Lucky for Jose he has already done most of his business with Fabregas, Costa and Luis
Leicester Under 21's beat Corby 4-0. Jacob Blyth, Harry Panayioutou, Michael Cain and someone called Meadows scored
Interesting Leicester preview on ESPN. http://www.espnfc.co.uk/leicester-city/story/1971986/premier-league-preview-leicester-city
"Manuel Pellegrini's Sergio Aguero-less reserves cruised to a 3-1 victory, and the gulf in class suggests the Foxes won't be troubling the top half of the table, despite their dominance last campaign." The writer fails to mention that we weren't playing our first team either. "There's not too much Premier League experience among the ranks" Yawn. "A little like LeBron James' first spell at Cleveland..." Eh? "There's absolutely no doubt bigger teams will be keeping a close eye on how he fares this season." He fails to mention that our owners ambition is to become one of the "bigger teams". We'd be very disappointed if we start losing players or our manager to clubs like Newcastle!
They're also missing the fact that Man City played a weaker team in their 3-2 away win over Bayern Munich just a week before
