Seems to be a pretty common belief that it was but I could be wrong, but the rest of my point stands.
A lad said to me from north west that he was going to Saudi then he came here. It’d keep him out of KFC
Not for me. To get that team, with its injyries, to the playoffs, playing the style of football we played, was an excellent coaching performance in my opinion.
Definitely but it was KS who brought him in. It wouldn't surprise me if they both ****ed off at the first chance they get due to the way some of our lot are going on.
Do you mean the rumours of Birmingham City fc after only 2 days in the job. its probs started by some journo in Brum.
I would hope they are bigger than that. Hotseats in football are just that. Need thick skin. If you cant ignore fan criticism then it isnt the job for you imo.
Would like to think this would be the ideal scenario, especially the money that's been invested in the academy. Definitely suit a self sustainable model
Id be selling Clarke if it guaranteed a decent fee. At this moment in time he's in-between lower premier League and Championship quality. If Saturday was anything to go by he's firmly Championship. Trippier didn't give him the lickings of a dog.
If we could sign a decent goal scorer and productive right winger and tighten up left back and cdm Clarkes goals may help get us up there. If we need money to fill those gaps I possibly agree.
A fair whack of our fans seem to have no appreciation of the work they've done to get us where we are.
I am struggling to think of many better 1v1 full backs defensively mate. I think Clarke would enjoy playing against more full backs than not. He has this natural ability to keep the ball on his foot and then shift it after his body movement. It is a body movement not a trick. Trippier is a savvy as they come, a lot arent. Just my opinion but I can see why West Ham fancy him, and they are now a very good prem side.
I said previously this is my only internet safc site. I understand that there is a bit of a fuss elsewhere. I dont really think it is a big deal, a small minority of noisy buggers. I really hope Speakman and everybody else doesnt really give a toss about any of it. I was in the ground and I never heard much whining about the onfield stuff, just praise and delight really. We got well beat, but they were better by a distance, end of for me, and judging by the lads I walked out with the same. We all want to beat them but right now we cant. I think I have a query over their approach to coach appointment process, and they need to do a bit better in recruitment in my opinion. But they are on a hell of a positive trajectory overall.
reminds me a lot of when we were in league 1 with mcgeady. Became too reliant on him. Give him the ball as often as possible and hope he can work his magic. Same now with clarke. If we get a good fee. Buy some decent players and maybe we have options to play different waysinstead of get the ball to clarke. Just a thought
