    Celino pulling the strings hahahahaha

    This is the problem with the English Game and we are seeing it get replicated over and over again at different clubs. Foreign rich person watcher a game of the premier league or championship and wants to buy a club. Buys it realises he knows **** all about in English football and who Sam Allerdyce is so sacks said manager and brings in a 'big name manager' who knows **** all about English football beyond the top four and the champs league. Lucky enough this manager has managed in Spain, Italy and France along with a couple of national teams (If old enough) so they bring in non English players and then they get their buddies to run the youth system who has the same problem as the manager.

    Meanwhile British clubs and youth systems are rejecting British talent and Britsh managers and we wonder why we can't beat teams like Algeria and Sweden.

    You're paranoid over Cellino like I am about Bates. I know Cellino wasn't a good owner/employer/crook but he meant well. He was a Saint at every level compared to that bastard Bates.

    We have differing opinions. Bates was shrewd enough to grow his wealth. cellino was left his and is shrinking it...
    BTW I am not suggesting in any way that Bates was a good owner, but he did know what he was doing.....

    We do agree that Cellino was not a good owner, employer or crook.
    IMO he is **** at all three.

    Think WC was referring to intentions rather than competence

    A continent is traditionally (one of 7)great land masses unless it’s Europe or Asia where it’s only part of a great landmass, that some prefer to call Eurasia. Sometimes you can include surrounding islands so that New Guinea for example is part of the continent of Australia. Sometimes though when you’re adding surrounding islands though you can decide to invent a new name like Australasia or Oceania to differentiate for example Australia being a country as well as a continent.

    So we have historical geographic continents without very strict rules to them that have been added to by modern political sensitivities to create world cup groups and dubious parameters for the Eurovision Song Contest.

    According to the Olympic Rings there are only 5 continents, the America’s are treated as one and no place for poor old Antarctica as they never sent a team.

    Hope that’s cleared it up!

    But Greater Ingerland will be a continent, after Brexit, surely?

    You are right Bates did know what he was doing that was the problem. Love to all in Harrogate and surrounding areas.

    I suggest for all those that think Bates is a great businessman and earned all his money through deals, to think again and maybe blow their brains out. Use google will help but come back at the end and tell us you were right along or maybe ...... The clues will be in Matthew Harding, Suzanne's family money, FBI most wanted list, paid by UK Government to leave an Island and its US workers alone, Teak Trading, Chelsea Harbour, Chelsea Village, Chelsea Sporting, Chelsea Investments, Chelsea Marina, Wembley Stadium, FA pay Bates to fook off away from Wembley.......... Actually just googling some of those will dig up a load more issues so enjoy

    Always described him as a ruthless businessman rather than a successful businessman whose main ambition seemed to try and be the richest man in the graveyard.
