Balloch is beautiful mate. Spent a little time there last year over New Years. The castle and park there are amazing.
Slaven Bilic on the touch line in his suit always reminded me of a detective that's still haunted by that one case he couldn't solve, the killer was always two steps a head then vanished,all leads turned cold...but the detective couldn't move on. Eventually his obsession drove friends away and then came the divorce.Overlooked for promotions.No other cop will work with him because he became a loose cannon. He basically lives in the station, drinking cop coffee and 2 packs of smokes a day at a desk covered in papers, files and white boards with Zlatans name on it and never seems to go back to his apartment or clock off. Despite his Chief telling him he has "vacation time built up", he never takes time off. Anyway, not really our type of manager the board go for judging from the potential list of whom we're rumoured to be after.Plenty of experience though.
That statement is not really true though is it! As both of the people named have been heavily praised by the Bellingham family (especially Dodds) for how instrumental they were in the career of Jude who is one of the best footballers on the planet at the minute. There is no screaming of mediocrity at all and TBH I think most fans would have some concerns but I don't see any panic setting in yet, as for yes men and jobs for the boys well that statement holds very little creedence when put under a spotlight and all the reasons have been hashed out on here numerous times. Yes KS has made some errors but out of all the HC appointments only MB has proved a failure. Dodds was asked to become an interim coach probably to make sure we got our next appointment right. It's not rocket science to work all this out. The club have waited to sign the right person for the position and not rushed to place somebody (as they did with Beale) and make the same mistake again. That shows a leadership who are learning all the time, all the signs are there to show that the club are learning and developing as they go but if you choose not to look I guess that is up to you.
Exactly. I just do not get this 'I'm a better supporter because I never complain' attitude. Nothing ever improved because people said nothing. Ever.
For me I think Jobe will become a top footballer and your right about his speed with his feet but I also think speed of thought at times lets him down as if he is trying too hard to think what to do next, this seems a common trait with a lot of young players as they transition into the men's game. It normally improves as they mature and their understanding with team mates develop. Jude plays this way a bit more naturally now with quick natural looking movements, but we need to remember Jobe is only 18 and turned 18 during the season so is still young in footballing terms.
Seems to be a lot a chit chat about everything apart from an incoming coach.....the silence from the SOL is deafening.. The rumour mill has even gone quiet... Ha'way Sunderland get this position sorted out
you can deny it as much as you want, you see the same posters posing the same things all the time, but you can deny it if you want if it meets your narrative.
Here he is again Plato. Things change mate when things get done not by moaning and they are about to do something at a time when change can happen. Plus plenty of us have said plenty, just some of us rationalise it while others piss the bed.
There is no narrative. My only agenda is that I think people should behave with decency and respect to other people. Not thinking someone is a good football manager is no excuse to abuse them. In terms of being a football fan. It makes sense to give someone a chance before heaping pressure on them.
I have no idea what you are talking about, when have I mentioned not acting with decency? Have you got me confused with someone else?
No, I haven't got you confused with anyone else. It seems you might want to follow the thread back from the point that you said to me "not in so many words, but it is".
You need to read what your email said and my response, precious, I suggest you try and understand what you are typing, no mention of acting with decency in there, is there?
