We did end up 4-3-3 against City when he brought Huddlestone on but i don't remember us playing 4-3-3 against Chelski.
Lamela and Ericksen were also supposed to be World class prospects... Lamela also was (and still is) our joint record transfer.... Have either of those turned out to be World class? After all it's just natural that these players progress isn't it?
Nah he'll be a success in time imo but this season is a total write off.
FFS seriously? Why? I don't see the need to merge at all?
My thread wasn't intended as a 'pining for the past', it was more a question of considering where the club is now and how we're performing was it a mistake to get rid of Redknapp? IE: Are we in the mess we're in now due to Redknapp being sacked? Would we be in this state if Redknapp hadn't been sacked?
I thought each of the threads were bringing up some great conversations, now it's just a mish-mash mess.
Absolutely no need.
We've also got separate threads on each of them over on general.So it was no differnet to the threads asking "if we still had Sherwood would we be doing better" or the one saying "we shouldn't have sacked AVB".
I agree with the merging as we need to move on...
Of course sacking harry was a mistake, look where we are now and where were then, anyone who says different is either called Daniel, was totally sucked in by money ball (even though it has never proven a success in football) or in complete denial (sticking to their guns even though they are out of bullets).
Sacking him was a huge **** up, not even sure if there is a debate to be had there. The debate is around whether sacking Sherwood was a **** up as well.
The title was meant to be tongue in cheek rather than having a go at anyone's threasFFS seriously? Why? I don't see the need to merge at all?

Indeed;do you really think we would have gone to West Ham and won? With 10 men??
Fat Sam methods were too much for Tim imo. Imagine the atmosphere after that defeat.
Then the QPR game; a toss-up as to whether we would have won it the way we did. I'm not even going to think about the Liverpool match...
We would likely have started on a negative slope and after the previous season I could see it going downhill rapidly; like Ramos, Hoddle and Jol (in their last seasons). Often the negativity from the previous season spills over if there is not clean (or relatively clean) break; be that a new manager or new injection of players on needed positions.
I'd fear that Sherwood wouldn't have developed a plan B and we'd be counter-attacked all the way to the bottom 5 by now...
My name isn't Daniel, I don't think moneyball really works in football and isn't denial just a river over in Egypt somewhere?
Harry talked himself out of the job. Plain and simple. His own lack of loyalty was his undoing and he had to go.
The first time time I saw Falcao play, early in his Porto career, I was on this board (or a previous incarnation) screaming or at least typing in capital letters that we should sign him. But did anyone listen? I don't know but we didn't sign him, so I'm guessing no!!! And now look at you all.
I should be a scout. Does it pay well??
What...just because his country may have wanted him to manage in the World Cup,what manager wouldn't have been interested.....not as if Man Ure were tapping him up or Chelski.
Eriksen and Lamela are now both 22, Modric was 23 when we signed him - lets revisit this point in a couple of years when it's a fair comparisson.
