Comparing eras is fraught with impossibilities in my opinion. For example, had Maradonna, or Best, been born now they would still have been the best in the world and ever. It is because they had innate natural talent. Others the same. They would have been a product of their environment, with the sort of physical dedication they see now. Others, who relied more on sheer determination, say a Bryan Robson (who I loved) may have found todays game harder to dominate in the way he did.

Managers are the same. Reidy's style probably wouldnt work now. But then I belive, for example, Bob Paisley would thrive in this modern world. He was so good with players. Bobby Robson would thrive today too, I have no doubt. He had a tactical brain that would make some of these modern coaches run for the hills.
Totally agree with all the examples you give there. What I'm getting at is that players' attitudes are different to even 15-20 years ago. Obviously that's a generalisation, because not everyone is the same.

It's Nixon but he reckons Rosenior was due to have his second round of talks yesterday, maybe we get a leak today?
 
I'm as sick as anyone but it's not certain that it's a shambles.

If the Still story is correct he's done as much, if not more, to delay this procedure.

Until we know who's the new manager we won't really know what degree of 'shambolic' this merits.

For example, if it's Cifuentes it may be that QPR refused permission to talk, at first, but he's put pressure on them to allow it.

If he was one of our preferred choices that might explain a lot ...

... and at the moment we're all just guessing on the back off snippets, how I've begun to hate snippets <laugh>
Well...

When we win the FA cup next year and knock Lens out of Europe the following year we'll have the last laugh :)
