...well is there?? There are times when I am convinced that Mr Coates is one of the (very) few Chairmen with an ounce of integrity, but...
Not for me...... I think he has done a fantastic job and has been very hard done by and to be replaced a manager who was sacked fro being bottom of La Liga in November seems very strange - IMO. I agree that Coates seems to be far more ethical than most other Chairmen/Owners which has its pros and cons. In defence of him and TP, we probably wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for them both. The question is would either be able to work and be successful in another combo, I fear not.
It's a big gamble, but then English managers are not very fashionable, off the top of my head there is only a couple in the prem, Harry and Big Sam, 1 sounds like a used car salesman the other looks like a bouncer.
Hi K - nossiree - that's putting a totally different connatation on a turn of phrase. Which of course ye know. PC is arguably THE best Chairman in Football - full stop. Just misguided over his Manager.
I think this will be he same mistake that QPR made in getting shut of Neil Warnock for Mark Hughes. This new Argentinian manager will take them down!
New Southampton manager sounds a bit weird, apparently he trekked up a mountain to pray for divine inspiration when Espanyol were doing badly. Maybe he's taken the name "The Saints" too seriously!
Praying at St Mary's. Pity Pulis didn't get some divine intervention when he climbed Kilimanjaro t'other year.
Just heard Nigel Adkins name isn't even in the programme for tonights match. Disgusting after back to back promotions, hope Everton put them to the sword tonight.
