Great pictures-weirdest stadium i have ever been to is the old Man city ground when they placed a stand virtually in the street outside to house away supporters.
Anyone remember this?
What about spookiest stadiums?
That for me is the old Ewood park with that spooky old stand with its ancient beams.The owners may make the decisions but without supporters they have no football club.
Stripping a club like Cardiff of its basic identity which is the home colours is a very very dangerous step and i totally agree with the superb post by Standish above.pay as you play for Owen id go £5k per game.
3k per goal with bonuses for wins and hit bonuses if he surpasses 10 goals,15 goals and 20 goals.These bonuses should be hefty to give him the incentive.
He could easily earn 20k per week revive his career and leave if a bigger club came knocking again for him.
If the fecker gets injured we pay him nowt-could be worth a pop! ;)Heres a ridiculous thought (ridiculous because it will never happen) why dont some of these now very very rich players give their services to lower division clubs for lower wages.
Rather than finish playing prematurely surely they should give back something to the game that has rewarded them beyond what they could have ever imagined.
Whether it be here or back in their own countries it doesnt matter but what a great way of finishing off their careers.
Give me hungry young players like James Mcarthur or James Mcarthy who graft their socks off than anyone on this list (Owen excluded-still a bit left i think)Some big names on that list but the problem is that if these players are worth having why are the clubs concerned letting them go?
Far better to scout out players with hunger than ageing greedy b@stards looking for a big wage and a place on the treatment table.
Lets face it if your over 29 and on a free your probably finished as a footballer at the top level and this list proves that.
We should sign Owen and pay him £3k a week pay as you play.Will work out a very cheap signing :dry:I have heard that Holt is waiting for Lambert to set up shop at Villa and then he will move there.West Ham need a major rebuild job because they looked very poor against Blackpool in that play off final.
Norwich are one season wonders believe me they have no chance of attracting players to what is the biggest football desert in the country-200 mile radius 3 clubs?Lambert will take them apart once he gets into Villa and the job he did keeping them up still astounds me now.Oh dear another bitter soul who obviously wants us to go away to the lower divisions quietly.
The clubs coming up will probably expect to be like Swansea and Norwich and stay up with ease but i have a strong feeling that last year was a flukey one and i expect all three teams coming up to be embroiled in the relegation battle.
Panic buying is already beginning with Steady Nigel and Southampton allegedly lashing out a ridiculous seven Million fee :ohmy: for unproven(even in the championship?) Jordan Rhodes.
I think Latics will start like a train and get to january virtually safe -we are due a season like this.What a daft story!!! :lol:
He may be keen on the job but im afraid he hasnt a cat in hells chance of landing it or other jobs for that matter at the present time.
Even if old twitch decides to sling off to the middle east Spurs fans will scream blue murder (just like the scousers did) if his name is even mentioned.He would get no time to do the job his way so he may as well stay here and build up his growing reputation.
He has much more to prove and the early part of next season will show if his young team has matured and his 3 year masterplan has worked.
No club is going to chance it with him until he gets Latics into the top 10 and avoids another relegation battle.You often wonder if we lost our manager could DW run the club single handed?
PR man (probably his best job-seems to have the media in his pocket),,director of football,press officer,he seems to do all the jobs with ease.He has made the RIGHT decision because he has already raised the bar with that fantastic escape last season -cant wait for next season.Loyalty is a rare comodity these days especially in football and its good to see Dave Whelan has stuck his neck out for him also.
The club is heading into a very exciting phase and i think the relegation battles could be a thing of the past from now on.
:cheer: :cheer:Talk about delusions -good laugh reading that !
I wonder how many of them were there in 2003 when they nearly went into the non league?
They are an unfashionable club like ourselves but without the charm we seem to have now as the gritty underdogs.
2ND season syndrome for them next season i see the bookies have them as favourites to go down.I didnt get the impression Whelan was pushing him out of the place when he was interviewed.He seemed almost to be talking Martinez out of it in my view.
If he goes and the club make some money out of it then so be it he’d have been lucky to get interviewed at Hartlepool never mind Liverpool after that Swansea game in march.
You can hardly say our chairman knows nothing about running a football club successfully can you? The biggest concern will be when he leaves because love him or loathe him we will be in the sh/t then.Steve Bruce with Eric Black as his assistant would be my choice
Thank Christ you’re not involved in the decision-making process then.[/quote]
I seem to remember a against all odds relegation escape and the 2nd best ever points tally in a EPL season under these two.
I suppose its because the dont wear tanned shoes eh? :)
