hmm.. a lot of 'edge' slipping into the thread i see, you are all better than this lads...we have not officially started the transfer talk yet and that is the one to bring out the argumets, not much time to calm down ')

I can't believe people wanted a 'native speaker' above anything else ....

... perhaps we should've gone for Shearer.

Well I'm certainly not ignorent marra.

And like I said, I'm not setting out to purposely offend.

I'm deffo not going to apologise for wanting to hear the Queen's/King's English spoken correctly, nomatter what accent a person speaks in.

As infants, we were all expected to learn phonetics to the correct standard whilst learning the English alphabet....every British child did.

Then when we grow older, we all have the choice to pronounce words the way we want.

Cockney rhyming slang is amazing, and humerous. However, it was always delivered correctly eg - Up the apple and pairs (Stairs) - Hampstead Heath (Teeth) ...but now folk say,- Up ver apples and pairs, and - Hampstead Heef (Teeff).....Why though?....there's no need at all.

In short, there is right way, and there is a wrong way.....there's no arguing with that mate.

Sorry if that offends you :emoticon-0148-yes:

We’re taught to write and type using correct grammar and punctuation as well, but I wouldn’t hold it against anyone that didn’t.

Shouldn't that be 'who' didn't <laugh>


(And, yes I know the <laugh> is replacing the question mark.)

(But perhaps I shouldn't have started the sentence with 'And' or this one with 'but'. But I did ... balls, just done it again!)

This thread has gone mental, grammar and elocution lessons :emoticon-0102-bigsm

For those who's wider football knowledge is greater than mine, is it unusual for a new head coach to not bring in any of his own staff?

Is it just my outdated perception of coaches and managers that's over thinking it amd this is actually who things are these days?

I can see the logic behind keeping the backroom staff for the continuity amd minimising any upheaval, but assumed any new coach would want his own right hand man?
