Not heard of him before - is he any good?Paratici will come with a new manager, announcement after announcement. That's clear.
It better be Conte or Ten Hag or Lopetegui or I'm out.
Denise Van Outen was such a welcome addition to my hangover mornings.Johnny Vaughan died on TV after that shit BBC sitcom, he's good on Radio X.
The show when Michael Hutchence was on with Paula Yates and they were either clearly already fucking or just had crazy chemistry stuck in my memory as a young man.Denise Van Outen was such a welcome addition to my hangover mornings.
I had no idea Morgan was on this morning. I lost all interest in that the day Fred the Weather man disappeared. He always seemed to care a lot for his younger viewers too, weird. Old Judy Finnigan (was never thin let alone being thin again ) was a good moral compass for a young man too.The show when Michael Hutchence was on with Paula Yates and they were either clearly already fucking or just had crazy chemistry stuck in my memory as a young man.
The guy that was one of the Mangels in Neighbours was quite good on BB...was a good show, Zig and Zag would be better on This Morning than that cunt Morgan ever was.
SHEESH give me strength!!!
They could afford £15m a season gardening leave for Jose… but not to place existing staff on shadow secondment…
Did you mean 432/277 to get arrested trying to score a puma.
“Rangnick and Campos” people name a single other DoF challengeIt could be that one of the reasons it’s taking so long is because we are waiting for the DOF to come on board because we want him to be a major part of the head coach decision making process, as our new DOF kind of should be?
I still wish that DOF was going to be Rangnick, who as well as overseeing some good player scouting, has a pretty good track record of scouting young up and coming coaches.
Failing that, Campos has a much better recruitment cv than Paratici, and Campos, like Rangnick has worked with limited resources and is between jobs right now.
Well said.Leicester signing Soumare and Edouard.
Villa signing Buendia and enquiring for Ward-Prowse.
Tottenham getting rejected by managers, not linked to players and falling further behind teams all at the same time.
We've gone from the brink of glory, a Champions League final, to being further away than we've ever been in the space of 2 years.
No that's another odds that I don't understand either
Daniel fucking Levy“Rangnick and Campos” people name a single other DoF challenge
This is Great but doesn't cut it for leagues as competitive as the EPL. Young players will take time to develop and when they reach a point they good enough to take silverware, they usually ready to move on. I'm not saying it isn't a good idea to promote out home-grown players, I'm just saying it would take a balance to achieve league honours. Unfortunately Levy needs to let go of some players as they are just not good enough or their attitude isn't that of winners. In Our case it's possibly up to half of our squad. We will need to buy new players. We cannot only buy youngsters. We need experienced players too. I don't think any manager can use Levys' model and build a successful team.This is a great write up and you touch on what I wanted to add when you say turn over the squad and for me that is a key point. He didn't just do it based on the back of a few players, when he lost a lot of the key players he had he was able to keep having success. He brought in both youth- De Ligt, De Jong, Gravenbach and vets- Klaassen, Blind and Tadic and making it work with all of them.
That looks worryingly like a group of Spurs fans waiting to welcome him to the Lane.
