Doesn't that argument fall down somewhat given West Ham are crap and I don't imagine (haven't checked) but Brighton and Forest for example aren't exactly overwhelmed with Premier League old heads?

According to the article posted above its hard to know who owns what at Sampdoria.

I heard it was a close tie, and the EFL asked Farke and Parker to send in photos of their cars. Some say that this influenced the committee to cast the vote for Parker. and some say snobbishness won.IMG_20250519_114904.jpg IMG_20250519_115137.jpg Why does DF look like someone just killed his dog ...

Will start this in the coming weeks. It will be an all time MOT forum 11 and manager. No Leeds players allowed and no Leeds managers. Will be a 4-2-3-1 formation team. Will be separate threads for people to Nominate each position. Then a vote on each. Will keep it to one nomination each per position ...

Yes indeed so Farke was by your argument more likely to fail but didn't. Whereas the Ford driver had a reasonable chance of overachieving, and did to a certain extent but didn't hugely overachieve. So well done for finally acknowedging what a fantastic job Farke has done. Messiah like in your words ...

There would be no need to criticise the Bugatti driver though. He may have had the best car but he won the race so it was well done, he couldn't really have done any better. Well done also for the team on choosing him. The Ford driver may be better at getting the most out of an old banger but no ...

I like how you try to deflect attention from yourselves by suggesting I have multiple accounts! And kudos for your usual way of not debating when someone completely outfoxes you like Sean Nile did recently. I debate with anyone. Just not going to keep repeating myself and having to read War and ...

Wondered if we had a Ranieri thread . . . We do so
Means nothing though as he didn't win a trophy as Jay 2 will tell you

Enjoy retirement Claudio

His huge wages wouldn't be though.

Don't need an injury prone 33 year old

We have one already

In Serie B the bottom 3 sides are relegated and the 4th and 5th bottom sides play off for survival unless the 5th bottom side is 5 points clear of the 4th bottom then there is no play off and 4th bottom are relegated, there's no play off with any side from the division below, it's the same for ...

Probably a different discussion about why fans would rather celebrate finishing 4th than winning a major European trophy. Especially as both result in qualifying for the next seasons Champions League but only one of those outcomes lasts forever in your clubs history and is marked on their honours ...

I would have bet that FPL would be the perfect game for you with your research, tactical & analytical skills. Lots of players now use AI to pick their team which sucks the life out of the game a bit imo but then everything in life is ruled by technology in one form or another. How kind :lol: I ...

Winning titles and lifting trophies though is a special skill. Man U for example if they lift the Europa League trophy will have won cups in each of the last 3 seasons despite being absolutely rubbish in the League during all of those seasons. It's that different mentality as a club, plus the ...

Overachievers who achieved nothing. Pressure comes with money. You can argue it’s a free hit for the underfunded. You can argue theres far more pressure with the expensive squad. Can you list Corberans achievements please. He has won what exactly. Yes absolutely money increases pressure because h ...

Jeez don't say that. If we had to face Southampton to go up we'd lose even though the Saints only have 12 points for the season. Wouldn't be us actually I think if we did it here it would be Sheffield United vs Leicester atm :duno: Not a bad system though? Get rid of the playoffs. Top 2 go up ...

Think so but not exactly sure how it works.

Yeah they play the team in the league above or something?

Like if we played Southampton for example I think

But Brescia are screaming corruption

How many managers can you apply that to in the modern game. Quite a few. How do you distinguish between the two. Success by money. Success by talent. Or a bit of both. Clubs with more money are more likely to succeed than those without? In basically every league a league position and wage budget ...

I’m ok with the Parker logic. It’s possible to construct a valid argument that Parker is better than Farke. No issues with that. And also that they both are better equipped for the championship than the PL. However the bleating Corberan argument is just nonsense to me. Poor little Carlos with Zero p ...

Italian football is insane.

A lifeline for Sampdoria . . .

And who owns Brescia? Massimo Cellino
