He's a back foot manager. Compared with, say, Klopp, who's a front foot manager. Back foot managers rarely win anything. Hold what we have versus go out and win it.
I may be wrong but someone (possibly scout73) mentioned this and was told they were looking at Chris Rigg. I might have dreamt this mind.
England have done very little in major tournaments for decades and have had better players than they have now. They got a world cup semi with loftus cheek, lingard, ashley young under southgate. The tournament prior to that got knocked out by iceland and got knocked out in the group stages the one before that.They have some very good attacking players but massively short at back, c and pickford isn't an elite goalkeeper. Southgate has done well overall, you could pick faults in his tactics but at end of.day they were a penalty kick away from beating Italy and taking France to extra time..small.margins
You also need strength in depth, we had no depth when they took over but we have built that somewhat we now need to add some more strength.
Because the club have been trying to build foundations after they were destroyed by the chancers. And our foundations now look good, we have some very good young players and have signed some potentially good players along with developing our own young players all in the space of 3 years. The first team has probably suffered from this rebuild a little bit but bear in mind we have had a promotion and a cracking at the play offs in that time so some of what is being done is very good. There have been problems which we all know about, in the end though I choose to stand back and take stock. There was any number of fans who were screaming for the club to have a plan, we now have one that is moving us forward just maybe not as quickly as some would like. We are/have built up some strong foundations and I belive we are in a position to strengthen the team over the next year or so and I also believe we may well add that little bit of experience to the squad that everybody knows we need as we now have the foundations in place to allow for it. Strong foundations equals a strong club they just need time.
I’d like to punt him. From his in field days, as good a player as he was, he was a dick!! Might be a good coach. Get Catts in. He’ll sort it
What a lucky escape that was I would consider not going (I wouldn't, like, but I'd be furious) if that **** came anywhere near managing S.A.F.C.
Rubberface on RTG saying we’ve been interviewing overseas this week with Barry Maric and Still mentioned. Anyone else heard owt?
Took me a minute then I remembered John Terry had been mentioned this morning before I left for work.
What’s the hype with Maric? Seems limited info on him looks like his main experience is in youth football
