It's possible I'm becoming more cynical or other people are becoming more 'Princess Diana'. This post appeared on the Preston North End media, 'We are deeply saddened to confirm that a PNE fan passed away shortly before kick-off on Saturday. The man in his 60s became unwell and was unresponsive while in The Gentry Bar.' upon which dozens of people, from endless clubs, have posted. Many of the comments are along the lines of, 'No one should go to a game and not come home thoughts to all his friends and family'. A lot of this puzzles me, not least why it's OK not to come home after the Bingo but you should always come back from the game.
Strange thought. Wont happen but could be interesting. All the premier managers draw a team out at the start of the season and see how they do. My thoughts are the top 4 would probably stay the same but might show who are good managers and who are not. I base this on Pep and Man C. Although they werent very good there I think I could manage them.

When speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Allardyce revealed the time he told Sunderland’s £14m acquisition Wahbi Khazri that he was a waste of money. “I’ll tell you the story about that because I was getting a bit frustrated with him. We were in a difficult position. “This is going into, I think, the last four games of the season, where we need to win at least two to stay up. We were doing a bit of training, and we were messing about. I said something like, I’ve wasted 14 million on you. I mean, so anyway, that’s not putting an arm around him, is it? So that’s not putting an arm around him. So anyway, we’re playing the game, and let’s face it, we won three to two. Three to two and he scored a right foot volley to get us back in the game at one-one. And he come running over and said, Gaffer, do you think I’m worth 14 million now?”
Steven Gerrard has turned down the chance to return to Rangers for a second stint as manager, with the timing of the move believed to be behind his shock decision. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvgqgqd9z9yo
I didn't expect him to return to Rangers, it didn't make sense, and I'm glad that he didn't. It's probably a matter of timing, and they don't seem to have much, but I'd like them to do something similar to what Kyril did to find a Reggie (whatever that was), and be successful again
