I like the way he rages at the authority but is all calm and reasoned when the players ask him to stop.
 
Have the BBC edited Crooks' article? It says Belgian now.
Cheating bastard! <laugh>

Sly sods! <laugh>, so they have, it can only have been in the last hour or two, luckily I had it still open on another tab...

LEFT-BACK - JAN VERTONGHEN, TOTTENHAM
Jan Vertonghen

The Dutch defender was bought as a centre-half but played at left-back at Old Trafford and looked sensational. I can't remember when I last saw a defender beat three players before steering the ball past the keeper. It's always useful to have a centre-back who can play well in other positions. At a reported £10m, he looks great value for money.

Did you know? Vertonghen made more passes than any other player in the Dutch top flight last season - 2,419 - while maintaining a 90% success rate.
 
Just seen this on the beeb

BBC Sportsday said:
Bournemouth part company with manager Paul Groves and assistant Shaun Brooks. The South Coast club have won just one of their 10 league games this season.

Wonder if a certain former manager of ours will be back in work soon?
 
I've been touting Redknapp for the QPR job since the start of the season, but he might fancy the shorter commute with Bournemouth.
He can get to the ground in about 20 minutes.
Get his usual group of coaches in and he'd be a hero if he could get them promoted.
 
How many of us saw the clock ticking on Groves as soon as Redknapp went there, though? He must've seen it coming himself.
He got Avrammed.

Bit of a Spurs connection there at the moment.
Jalal, Daniels and Barnard were on our books, plus Charlie Sheringham (son of Teddy), Jordan Chiedozie (son of John) and Lorenzo Davids (cousin of Edgar) all have links to us.
Next best thing for Redknapp?
 
The set up there is almost incestuous. The assisitant manager who has just been sacked, is the chairman's son-in-law. The director of football is the chairmans son and the chairman is also a business partner in one of his many businesses, with Harry.
