He said: "I know people have said that Advocaat has managed in Scotland before, but that is not thePremier League at all and I am really shocked by the news. I would have liked to see Kevin Ball get the job until the end of the season had they not gone first to get Sam Allardyce from West Ham, who is the manager they should have tried for. Kevin Ball in the meantime? He is a PL manager is he? Proof beyond doubt Merson is an idiot.
No one's denying that, just giving their opinion on his opinions. Most people seem to think they're not worth the dregs of his last pint
Stupid idea going after Big Sam IMHO. Not because he wouldn't do a job, but because it would make the club look desperate. If he then said no, as he said he would in his Standard column, we'd be publicly humiliated. Rightly or wrongly, Ellis wanted DA, went after him immediately and got him. Job done, let's move on.
That wasn't my point, I did get the meaning ........ just saying that everyone already knows he's entitled to his opinion. Just my opinion of course.
What about Koeman ? he never played or managed before in the premier league, sold all of Soton's best players and look what they have done !. Advocaat has been brought in for nine matches then ousted because he will want big money in the summer, so Fred blogs will be coming in in the summer, and depending what division we are in, most likely the Hartlepool manager, if he keeps them up (and I hope he does)
As some posted on another thread "howway man lighten up, its only a little football thread" or words to that effect. Find something else to split hairs over.
