Not knocking him. Done a good job. Just I would be interested to see a better manager having a crack with these players whilst we still have an edge. I feel that he got the job as a caretaker role as a stop gap whilst we panically looked for Allardyce's replacement, got a few good results, deservedly gave it to him full time and done well. Before Allardyce he would not have got a look in. He's hugely benefitted from a great group of players with such strength in depth (attacking wise). Then again. I don't really care until after this Qatar world Cup. Got no interest in it and I don't think Southgate should be too harshly judged by it. Anyway, last time I mention it on this thread in case I get wrong!

Yes, he has benefited from very good young players.

But no other contender for manager then would have played more than a tiny few of them, including BSA. They might say now that they would have, but we all know different. It would have been steady Eddies , just as it always has even before.

Southgate, and the team, suffered from a bit of a lack of Champions League nous IMO. Quite a few of the players in the Croatia semi and the Italy final were in this bracket and it matters.

We came off second in those games because we basically didn't take part in the second halves until the equaliser. Southgate could have done with a wiser old assistant there, particularly in the final, to suggest bringing on Sancho or Grealish much earlier. They both hold the ball up well and can get you out of your half, which is what we weren't doing.

Hopefully Southgate has learned this lesson, although I really can't see us doing all that well in 35 deg heat.
 
I went to a talk in at Steels club. He upset a few people there as well. I hate the bloke myself. Used to get in Harbour View sometimes. Was also at a talk in at Queen Vic that was only on about 40 mins due to technical issues and them going off to see Watmores come back in reserves. He came across as a ****er there as well. All my own opinion of course.
if i may, the steels club talk in, was with Parky, his 1st interview when he came to the club, the Vic was also a talk in, its shown on STID season 2 episode 2 half way through.
i organised both with my mate IK

Deal progressing as it should.

Overview from previous posts for the doubters.

Heard SD or CM had sold or selling their shares. (Announced by media some time later this was happening)

Heard investor/investors are serious and will invest in the club. (Potentially Swis based not 100%)

Heard news update from club within 7 - 10 days. CM stated in the Athletic two bids have been accepted. (Days later).

Heard Tom White would announce something from club. (KLD released statement)

Hope this is correct marra.
 
Watched it again a few nights ago, I’d forgotten how funny it was and there’s also a flash of growler, everyone’s a winner
It’s a very funny film and appreciated by many. But I don’t think the cast get the credit they should for their acting. Apparently comedy acting isn’t easy, but their characterising was not only original and brilliant, their timing was faultless. I wish I could remember what I did with my dvd. I get a fancy to watch it again everytime someone mentions it. A pity the religious connotations stop a lot of people from watching it because they are missing one of the funniest films ever made (in my view anyway).

Have you not got a streaming service that has it on (amazon, Netflix, iptv etc).

If not, if you pm me your address I will send you a dvd, I have two of them ....genuine offer mate.

You may Bob. Yes it was with Parky. Methven was also there, mic in hand and upsetting people. Kevin Ball had to calm people down after something he said. Regarding The Vic. I know, apparently I'm in it. Never watched it myself.

Good stuff @Wheatsheaf I think we all need to forget all about this TFT ****e - theyre just trying to sell themselves in the UK but its all William Storey fantasy stuff
 
He was awful. No ambition whatsoever. Made Grayson look like Guardiola.

I’d started to have serious doubts about them in summer 2019. I thought our transfer business that summer was awful and we’d had a poor start to the season under Ross. It then emerged in the august that we were in talks with FFP so I thought ah well at least change is on the horizon.

Fast forward to October and Donald has ****ed up the takeover and appointed Phil Parkinson. I knew then that he was an incompetent chancer who needed chasing.
