While in charge of Wolfsburg during a training camp in July 2008 in Switzerland Magath declared after a team lunch that training would be canceled for the day. Instead the players would be rewarded with coffee and cake at a nearby location with the provision that the players retain their training attire just in case. As the players prepared to board the gondola that took them up the mountain to the coffee house their delight was soon replaced with horror as Magath told them they would get there by running the full 2362 meters. They ran for two and a half hours straight up the hill with Magath running right behind the team. Their star striker Grafite collapsed before the end and had to be carried down the valley on a stretcher while other players broke down in tears as they reached the summit where they were finally able to enjoy their coffee and cake."

Seems a good appointment to me.

The thing that stood out in any fulham match was the players seemed to put in as less and less effort as the game progressed. This could be down to the players not giving a sh*t or really poor stamina and conditioning and Magath is the kind of coach who will tackle either/both the issues the moment he shows up.
 
Fulham getting more of a joke. Despite Meulensteen saying he had been sacked. Fulham are now saying he is still head coach....

So they have Meulensteen, Wilkins and Magath...is this the first team to be managed by a triumvirate? Will they decide substitutions by majority vote?

I think it was fatletiss who talked about the influence Allardyce, Nolan, and their agent wielded over the junior players at West Ham. This is worth a read.

When this was first mooted, most people thought of Allardyce straight away. I was pleased to hear that Morrison has turned his life around...have to admit I still thought of him as a bad boy. Let's hope it works out for him at QPR.....as long as he doesn't carry any brown paper bags for Harry.
 
Is anyone else getting fed up of the constant Arsenal-Chelsea-Mourinho-Wenger slagging thing? Apparently an arsenal legend say's Mourinho is a bully and boring. Who bloody cares?!
