    Transfer fred.

    I only watch Spurs games so I can't really comment on the general level in England but I noticed a few years ago that the few pundits who actually had interesting things to say about the game were mostly ignored. Some of them were fairly average player. I remember a guy called Luc Sonor who'd...

    Transfer fred.

    Fixed it for you. 30 years ago, Klinsmann said that he earned so much money in his career that he wouldn't be able to spend of all it in his lifetime and he doubted his children would be able to. And, let's face it, they weren't paid that much compared to today's players. Remember the uproar...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Conte and Mourinho are giving away the same kind of vibes about the club. Everyone will believe what fits in with their own perspective (they weren't the most popular appointments to begin with). Maybe we can all agree that the club itself, the chairman and/or the players are ill-suited to...

    Harry Maguire

    It does seem like a strange idea but it's quite likely that when a journalist need to make up a rumor, they draw a few names out of a hat and that's that. Don't know if there's anything about United making a bid for Kane. They do talk quite a lot about it, here. In that case, they could be...

    Troy Parrott

    Loans are well and good but the main thing is, unfortunately, being able to give your youngsters some game time at the highest level. There are too many variables in a loan and the gap between the PL and the rest of the leagues has only grown bigger. I think what helped Kane immensely is the...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    He's been appointed so we might as well look on the bright side now. He's got a decent reputation in world football and, so far, he's done pretty well for himself. As with every new manager, I'm always curious to see what his team will look like. Best thing to do, in my opinion, is to keep an...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    True but he was a top coach in France before that. If the league wasn't rigged, he would have been champion half a dozen times with Monaco (and probably wouldn't have moved to Japan in the first place).

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    I don't think anyone can deny that we made some huge strides over the past 20 years. However, things can change and in football less than anywhere else, you can't live on past glories. Basically, you want three things from your chairman: have a good structure throughout the club, a sound...

    Net spend this summer (not including Kulu and Porro)

    From what I've seen so far, if we use Porro as a full-back in a flat 4, we'd better be prepared to have a very defense-minded midfielder to cover for him. Also, you can't really have him on the same side as Romero, unless you're prepared to deal with some huge gaps at the back.

    Good luck to him! I'm curious to see what he can do here.

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    I should have mentioned my answer wasn't specifically linked to your post, sorry. Despite the fact that I rarely have strong or polarized opinions, I usually add some sort of disclaimer because it's easy to take things the wrong way, even more so on a message board. Everyone's entitled to their...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    What irks me with Postecoglou's 'supporters' is the fact that they talk like there's come kind of prejudice or cabal against him. He certainly is a good manager but if you want to look at people who have good records nobody cares about, how about Pitso Mosimane? Won the African Champions League...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Zero but you're missing my point. You can't think of modern football in absolutes. If you only watch women's football, you might think some of these players are outstanding when, in reality, most of them wouldn't make it as professionals in a men's team. Likewise, in a poor league, you could...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    You're correct about the stat but the competitiveness of the league itself is irrelevant, I think. The Albanian league might be very competitive (I don't know if it is, it's just an example) but I still wouldn't consider someone who had never managed elsewhere. In very poor leagues, continental...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Japanese clubs have won the AFC Champions League twice since 2009 and Asian clubs have hardly pulled any trees in the Club World Cup. Japan is probably somewhere between the middle and the lower end of the Tier 1 leagues in Asia. That's fairly good in itself but I don't think you can compare...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    Not at all but it's just an opinion - and a biased one, at that, when it comes to Gerrard's achievements. You can't dismiss everything in the media saying there's nothing to back it up and take a post (however long) on an Internet message board as gospel. With a little research, I can write a...

    New New Manager Poll (The Lets Get It Right This Time Edition)

    This conversation has gone on for much too long and now, everyone has their mind set on this or that candidate. Therefore, people are reluctant to adopt a middle ground position. Don't take it the wrong way, but your post is a good example of that. Saying all Nagelsmann's done is being young and...
