If Pearson had got another job immediately I would've fully expected Walsh & Shakey to join him. As he didn't, it was pleasing that we didn't let them go. Ranieri brought in a couple of his own people but they've obviously blended in & are working as a team. Ranieri clearly trusts Walsh & Shakey, he agreed to sign Kanté on their recommendation. We're currently top of the premier league, probably going to be in Europe next season, so you'd want to leave because.......your mate gets a job with the sheep?! Really?!!! Besides, Direby are insisting they're not appointing anyone & their Academy Director, Wassell will be in charge until the end of the season.
I might have misheard this, but on a similar note, did anyone else hear Remi Garde at Villa claim at the weekend he didn't expect his players to score before 35 minutes on the clock? Football seems to be going a little mad this season!
Does that mean the Villa players have to keep looking at the stadium clock to see if they're allowed to score yet? It was probably said to stop the fans' getting worried if the first 35 minutes have been dross and the team hasn't created a single chance.
