@TonyBarretTimes: After QPR's latest defeat, Harry Redknapp said he wouldn't have lost 8 successive away games if he was Chelsea manager. Schoolyard logic.

That's fantastic. Chelsea wouldn't lose 8 games consecutively if they had no manager in charge, and the players stopped training. So basically Harry Redknapp in charge is worse than having no manager in charge.

doesn't quite follow.

his statement if true just doesn't indicate that having harry redknapp in charge would be any better than having no manager in charge.
 
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has insisted he is a head coach and not a manager in an apparent criticism of the club's transfer dealings.

The Uruguayan has vented his frustration about a lack of quality at the club, who lie 15th in the Premier League table.

"I am a head coach," Poyet told reporters.

"I am not going to be a head coach when it suits and a manager when it doesn't. That side is down to recruitment."


Quite agree !

Guess those two players he signed from Brighton are completely coincidental then

At the end of the transfer window I thought they did the best business of anyone in the league. Rodwell, Gomez and van Aanholt are players I rate well for Sunderland. Jones and Pantilimon are both good squad boosting players as is Réveillère, who has hardly featured.

Sounds like excuses to me. They really needed a goalscorer though. Fletcher, Wickham, Altidore and Danny Graham. None of these forwards have been anywhere near consistent enough in the last few seasons.

Altidore and Graham have been nowhere near an actual goal! And in actual fact those two are extremely consistent in that respect. <ok>

If what he says is true it is .
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but reading this from Tomkins, shouldn't the FA be hammering him with a whopping big fine or even better a suspension? The FA need to cut this out of the game and when a player comes out and admits he wanted someone sent off, then they should be issuing retrospective punishment.

Glibly saying, he shouldn't have reacted like that and apologizing, doesn't cut it for me.
 
The assistant's positioning is shocking there. He will have been given a bollocking by the assessor.
