General Football Thread

I hope not. The bumbling cockwomble just let his ego get the better of him. Should be gross misconduct and no pay out. What a plonker..

 

Brentford...4 Reading...1

Wow. What a result for Brentford!

 

I wonder what the odds are of Fat Sam turning up as Sunderland Manager again in a few months.

 

That will not happen, I'd be very surprised if he ever manages a football club in this country ever again!

 

I loved one of the comments sent in to the BBC this morning - 'There's too much money and greed in football!'
Ain't that the truth!!!

 

Comments from the BBC website:

It (the England job) might well be a 'poisoned chalice' but from this it sounds like they administer the poison themselves to a large extent

 

That'll depend on the size of the Bung they offer him!!

 

Unfortunately I'm sure some club with no scruples will employ him...

 

I hear Bilic could be under threat unless results improve!!

 

Every manager in the bottom half of the PL table is under threat! Some in the top half too, that is the nature of the beast. I can't garner any sympathy as they are all rewarded rather well for success or failure.

Bah!

 

Sam would fit in perfectly there again. Is Valencia still there?, can't remember what happened after he was linked to us.

 

Like a rogues gallery

 

Do you mean Ipswich Town FC ?

 

Just seen this on the BBC football gossip - "Neil Warnock, Steve Bruce, Harry Redknapp and former Rams boss Steve McClaren are all in the frame for the Championship club's vacancy." #willtheyneverlearn

 

Did the FA act too quickly in getting rid of Allardyce?
An interesting viewpoint in this article.

Following on from big Sam, first the Barnsley assistant has got the bullet and now JF Hasselbaink is being investigated. Whoever next?

Fascinating article on MFW today by a guest writer, Rob Emery.
This will hit the spot for many fans - it already has for the General, who has replied.

Makes me so angry. This is seen as the best league in the world. The money available here, compared to other major world leagues, is ridiculous. The fees, the wages, the amounts to agents is already obscene. I dread each days sports news at the moment. We can't go the way of the Italian League! It will totally ruin our club game.

.....There is also the chance, a massive crash and restart could give us a much better England team and recruitment from within...But that's another story.
