General Football Thread

I saw a report earlier that the Baggies are looking to appoint AN as their next manager!!! / (can't decide which!!)

 

I don't think he's a bad manager, but he's still pretty inexperienced in the transfer market. We paid the price of that, and WBA will too if they don't have a new structure in mind.

 

Statement from the board of Coventry City 'Nomads'

Coventry City today provided an update to the EFL Board, as was requested.
The Football Club confirmed to the EFL that it is close to the Head of Terms stage with two groundshare options. Coventry City will now progress to working on finalising terms with the Clubs and Stadiums involved.

While it remains our number one priority to stay, we can confirm that unfortunately the Ricoh Arena is not one of the venues above. At this stage, Wasps continue to choose not to enter into talks with the Football Club while our Owners SISU continue legal action with Coventry City Council.

Regrettably, we therefore have had to make alternative plans to the Ricoh Arena, the stadium that was built for us, to ensure our place in the EFL next season. The groundshare proposals would do that.

This is not an easy situation, and we apologise to supporters that it has reached this stage and for the heartache which has been caused.

Coventry City Football Club and its management team cannot affect the stances of Coventry City Council, Wasps or of our Owners in this situation – what we can do is put in plans to ensure this great Football Club continues to survive despite the impasse that exists, and that is what we will do.

 

There but for the grace of God and Delia

 

I must admit, my hatred of Coventry burns just as bright as it did in 1985 but you have to feel sorry for the fans over an issue like this

 

I wouldn't wish this sort of scheisse topic on fans of any club.
Cov have already had (at least) one season of ground-sharing
with Northampton, as I recall - not exactly convenient for those PUSB fans.

 

I'm watching the women's FA Cup match on BBC1, the Man. City keeper just took a goal kick and passed to her left back INSIDE the penalty area.

Have they changed the law whereby a goal kick had to clear the area?

 

Nope

 

Is it not different for the ladies? It's a long way for the wee flowers to kick it to clear the edge of the area

Bah!

 

I see Colin has pleaded not guilty to the FA disrepute charge!

Good luck with that

If they give Barca this pen through VAR, then it doesn't work.

It doesn't work for hand ball, if it fails on this. They what's the point.

 

Thank god for that. Finally VAR works on a penalty.

 

What position does your granddaughter play? Is she a starter?

Edit: Oh sh*t! At Carrow Road?! Wow!

 

My granddaughter is only 9 and plays for the under 9 girls.
She plays as a striker, but she needs to learn to pass the ball sometimes!!!!!!

 

Oooooh Onel Hernandez!

 

One door closes.....another swings open?
