Maybe, but these young foreign owners who make the key decisions are causing havoc with the gameQuote:

He was already set to be binned with his replacement lined up before he took ill. They postponed the announcement after he was taken to hospital.Quote:

Am I correct in saying he fell ill a couple of weeks ago and his assistant took the game for him, or am I making that up ? 🤔Quote:

“Unfortunately Roy Hodgson was taken unwell earlier today and is not at Villa Park,” Palace said. “Roy sent his best wishes to the team ahead of the match. We send our very best wishes to Roy.”
Beale sacked as Sunderland boss after 12 games.
What a nutjob club they are. Daft to sack Mowbray yes, but 12 games?! Seems absurd.
Glasser appointed at Palace already. Looks like auld Roy got Warburtoned.
Cheers :aok:Quote:

Hodgson returned to Palace last March following the sacking of Patrick Vieira and ensured the club's safety in the Premier League.
He was handed a new one-year contract in July but this season has not gone to plan, with Palace 16th in the table ahead of this evening's match against Everton.
The Michael Beale saga gets even funnier...

Yes I know that but he was only there for this season, I think he was stepping down anyway, unfortunately his illness has helped both parties.Quote:

That'll suit Kane, I would imagine.Quote:

That would appear to be nearer the truth than all the press speculation.

Tuchel is an odd one. A sort of German Derek Adams.Quote:

Madrid would. :aok:Quote:

Sounds like the sort of thing Brian McLauchlin would ask about. He tends to desperately pretend Hearts are really brilliant and tends to make a numpty of himself.Quote:

Of course he is. He's after any job he deems big enough for him. His media mates will see to him getting a mention for anything that catches his eye. They should just give him it, couldn't be worse than the three previous incumbents, short term boost, long term fail. Rinse and repeat.Quote:

Can't comment on the Cypriot one.

So quite variable. I guess it would depend on the depth of the waterway you were using it on. Got to reach the bottom, but no point having 10 feet of heavy and unwieldy pole above your head, raising your centre of gravity and making your punt less stable.
Is Lennon just at the 8 foot barge pole length, or all the way to 18 feet?

I’ll push the boat out and say he’s the full 18ft.Quote:

At the moment yes, but given 1) Australia is presently granted entrance into the Euro-vision Song Contest, and 2) a large number of clubs in the Europa League are from countries not geographically in Europe, I trust it will happen in time. It just needs some political will, and some deep pockets.Quote:

Not necessarily for the right reasons.Quote:

I agree. Not a Lennon fan by any means but he signed some very good players for us.Quote:

Whittaker a good player yeah, not sure he was an improvement on Gray though. Barker unbelievably overrated imo. Slivka was miles better Lennon signing for us than the 5 or so games Barker was interested in.
Brian Graham, Chris Humphrey, Neal Eardly, Brian McLean, Danny Swanson, Big Dave, Rherras, Nelom, Mavrias, Bigirimana, Ageyepong, and Hydeman were flops. Let's not talk about what a mess Stokes 3rd coming turned into.
Lennon was good for us adding a few bodies to a Scottish cup winning side. He struggled big time when the core of that side (Daz, Mcginn, Hanlon, Mcgeouch, Gray, Lewis) left or aged.
Nelom for me was when it was obvious Lennon had no idea what he was doing. Former Dutch international must've been on a decent wage. He played 3 games in total. Sort of signing the old firm make every season.
Warnock away it must be Lennon you would think
Has to be.Quote:
