    You brought a few names back to life there TCM. The job Head did was a bit like Harry did at Portsmouth. Bringing in some old heads who could still perform at the highest level at the tail end of their careers.

    I think that Levy likes football, but I'm not 100% convinced that it actually matters for a chairman.
    Anyone with any sense knows that a club doing well on the pitch is a massive boost off it.
    These idiots that come in and cut every possible corner soon find out why the corners are there in the first place.

    Alan Sugar didn't and still doesn't understand football and his time at the club demonstrated it well.
    He got the Sky deal though, so he didn't really care. A bit more understanding and knowing his limits would've gone a long way.
    Knowing what you don't know is incredibly important.

    To be fair, Sugar also doesn't understand that saying Covid isn't that bad because he doesn't know anyone who has it makes him look a total prick a few weeks later when he says his brother died from it

    "Idiots that come in and cut every possible corner soon find out why the corners are there in the first place." Love it PNP well said.

    AND

    "Knowing what you don't know is incredibly important. " One of the secrets of human life. We have a very philosophical PNP here today.

    Bilic and Dicks gone. So everyone who didn't do Arteta each way for first sacking loses out. If West Brom choose Fat Sam, It's Pulis for the goons.

    Pulis only got the Sheffield Wednesday job last month so can’t see him taking the Arsenal job.

    If l'arse offered him a 10 year contract on £0.5M a week he'd find it hard to turn down <laugh>

    That was bizarre. I thought I'd see a spiraling cycle of risk-taking.

    Arsenal have missed out. Allardyce is the new West Brom manager, shockingly.

    Allardyce, Hodgson, Pulis and Pardew have all managed West Brom and Palace in the last decade.
    Some real original thinking going on there.

    West Brom always seem to go for the same sort of managers and it never ends well.

    I can run faster than the bloke in the left back position.

    Banter aside, Arsenal are really poor aren’t they

    Arteta can’t be far off the sack because they’re genuinely in a relegation battle if they don’t improve quickly
