Maybe football could follow rugby league’s example and play a match against France at Leigh Sports Village in front of barely 8000 people :roll:
Nothing to add to the debate? No, thought not.
Toilet rolls and the thugby on the same thread about sums them men up :mrgreen:Yes… any thoughts on the actual advert?
How does it compare with Capello’s?
As Griff highlighted, if he were English……
Capello won the nation league with four different clubs, however, considering they were Milan, Juve, Real Madrid and Roma, he’s never exactly had to work on a tight budget and construct a team out of nothing.
He’s never reached a European final, nor managed a national side before. He was sacked from Madrid for playing boring, uninspiring football. I’d say Hodgson’s pedigree suggests he has more potential to drag an underperforming team out of the doldrums.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying get rid of Capello, but if he went and an English manager were to brought in, I can’t see any further than Roy Hodgson.[/quote]
I want an English manager as much as the next man, but I think it would be daft to pay off Capello simply because of his nationality.Redknapp has expressed his interest.
How many English managers are there in the Premier League?Spot on.
Football needs to follow the Rugby league example and start reducing the “quotas” of overseas players. It’s getting even worse in football now with the academies and reserves full of non English players.
Add too that the refusal to use video technology, it makes you wonder what the upper echelon of football management are actually thinking about.That would never work as the Premier League clubs would be down to Brussels before the FA had finished reading the new ruling. The top clubs couldn’t give two chips about the national team as they’re far too busy trying to keep their heads above water whilst paying their foreign legions millions of pounds to keep said clubs on the Premier League gravy train.
Whelan makes me laugh almost every time he opens his mouth and his idea of the Premier League clubs taking over Wembley and the FA is a prime example of the self-interest which is endemic in English football.He compares very favourably with Capello at being EnglishI want an English manager, but the idiots running the FA gave Capello a four year contract extension just before the world cup. Can you imagine how much they’d have to shell out to pay him off? There’s no point spending millions to get rid of him only to then bring in a manager whose career highlights are the Swedish and Danish league titles.
I think it could be irrelevant anyway as I can’t see Hodgson leaving Fulham unless someone like Liverpool comes calling.Pembertonian, I think Roy Hodgson has had a little more than five minutes of success, and I’d hardly call his career mediocre.
I read a newspaper article on him a few months ago, and surprised at how much success he’s had around Europe, and how little of it I knew about, or had forgotten about. In summary, here’s what he’s achieved:
He’s turned the fortunes round, and won the national championship with three different teams (Hamlstad, Malmo & Copenhagen), has taken two teams to European cup finals (Inter Milan and Fulham), has beaten Juventus, Hamburg, Inter Milan, Celtic and Monaco in European competitions, has taken a national team (Switzerland) to the World Cup beating Italy along the way, took them through to the round of sixteen, and then the following year qualified for the Euros, and, has successfully managed two international no-hopers (UAE and Finland), turning them into decent footballing sides.
How many other English managers can boast any of this on their CV?How does it compare with Capello’s?
I wouldnt say a national discraceErm what would you call a 4-1 drubbing by the krauts then
A disgrace maybe?
Ah well, at least now I can enjoy the garden instead of having myself dragged through this god-awful tournament. Easily the worst I’ve seen for years.
If the club can afford it then we are not charging enough rent for using our facilities get it sorted sir DWNot sure Dave peruses these boards :roll:
In answer to your question, YES Cockle :lol: :lol: :lol:Cracking line that :lol:
How is it begging? Looks like a standard advert to me.Surely the biggest team in the sooper dooper league doesn,t need to beg fans to attend one of its biggest games?And that advert was cheaply made, its pretty embarrassing!
Does that look like begging to you?
I’d imagine the fans who took part received nothing more than maybe a cup of tea and a butty :lol:
So the club have managed to make an advertisement that will be shown during the region’s most popular television programmes for next to nothing.What do you think of the ad pembertonian?It smacks of desperation to me!
Desperation? In what way?
Can’t see what negative effect it will have and so if the club feel they can afford to make it and have it on television then fair enough.
Id have Stuart Pearce, Harry Redknapp or Roy HodgsonShould Capello go?
IMO no. He’s got a top quality CV, one of the best in the world. England were excellent in qualification.
I think he started making mistakes in the build up to the World Cup and has had a very poor tournament. But seeing as he has the vast experience and talent he has I think it would be stupid to turf him out after this. He’ll have learnt a lot about about England, the English press and tournament football this summer. His English will improve when he has a few more years behind him.I also think there isn’t any overwhelming candidates to take over from him. Harry Redknapp??? Give me a break. He has so much baggage the knives will be stabbing him in the back as soon as he has the press conference giving him the job. Getting 4th place with Spurs is a success, but it’s a success based totally on the implosion of LFC. He is also a twitching tvat.
Hodgson. Yeah, let’s appoint someone on the back of 5 minutes of success in a mediocre career. That’ll work, won’t it? :roll:Hiddink would be a possible, but his Russia side didn’t even make the WC.
For me, stick with Capello and have a massive cull of our ridiculous press and the idiots who feed the press. Burn down Fleet Street and shoot to kill with all rioters tonight.
Cubbies are going nationwide with a series of adverts :roll: :roll: :roll:Nationwide? Says there it’s Granada region only.
Wouldn’t call one ad a series either :oops:
