Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

re jewell - at derby county or overall? cos to be fair to him, he did keep bradford and wigan up, and had one excellent season at wigan. his career has undoubtedly gone down the toilet since then, i agree.

forgot he was at bradford. i was thinking more about having the worst season ever automatically had him #1 (but also not much thought went into it, come on.)

Alan Shearer.

dowie

avram grant's pretty crap too

Hardly Paul Jewell though

ya grant didn't win the league nor cl that time

grant came bottom with portsmouth and west ham - anyone inheriting that chelsea team would have done ok.

lotsa managers woulda come last with those teams and done worse with chelsea

don't think any competent managers would have come last with west ham. his record with small premier league clubs is as bad as anyone's.

Weasel Diesel - have you suddenly started posting again after many years or have I just not noticed you?

i post very, very occasionally ;-) last time was probably after ireland qualified for euro 2012. i only get involved for huge footballing events like that, and big mick being sacked

Yeah that West Ham team with competent management could have stayed up. Portsmouth something of a special case.

weasel, i want to recognise that you've a case there, before i say

rafa

That bloke that took over Charlton after Curbishley, Les something

Les Reed, though wikipedia has reminded me that Dowie was there first. Reed was the second Charlton manager to get sacked in the first half of that season.

how about Chris Hutchings

Thanks. I was going to say that bloke at Wigan who nobody had heard of, but I couldn't even remember his name when he was in the job, never mind now.

Bruce 2/1 favourite with Paddy Power. sweating.

can't see it. his rep is too tarnished after the way things went at sunderland, this season particularly. fret not, nv!

I'm always a bit embarrassed for clubs when they appoint the assistant manager as number 1.

they usually do it after the assistant gets off to a good start, when the team gets an artificial kick that a change of manager usually brings (pearce, roeder, spragia being examples)

Heavy rumors (France Football, Dutch press) that Eden Hazard has agreed on terms with Spurs for a transfer next summer! Sole condition seems to be Spurs need to qualify for the CL.

Wenger won't be too pleased about all of this I think, Hazard having forever been linked to Arsenal.

bale out?

bit harsh on mccarthy in terms of his overall career here. getting ireland to the world cup in 2002 was a pretty stupendous achievement, and they did well when there too.

't would be the English transfer of the summer imho

xp

I presume it would be Bale-Hazard-Lennon behind an tbd striker?

Wow, that's interesting - given the level of interest in the guy, I'm wondering if that's Spiders' wage structure shattered too?

highly doubtful he'd be getting more than say 70k at us, not sure that's not about right for a guy breaking into one of the vv top leagues at a youngish age

yeah hasn't the transfer fee been thought to be around 40m? can't see spurs paying that.
xxp he could take lennon's place, too

and the tbd striker is a more important signing than hazard would be.

^^ that is true tbh

absolutely

Tho citeh doping the wages market has left us with carroll or rodallega (unless we nick newcastle's new front two, which would be good)

40m is the hyped price but tbh it will only be that if city pay it? more likely to be around 25ish imo

assuming this is true i'm guessing modric is gone and that the fee won't be an issue

he is nowhere near a replacement for modric in terms of playing style fyi

ah but who is?

istr his being a tricky lw

how are you ppl seeing french football/hazard play? al jazeera?

tricky attacking midfielder who can play l, m or r. kinda like ozil imo.

how are you ppl seeing french football/hazard play? al jazeera?

gotta look outside england. lucas barrios is way better than his playing time this season for dortmund would suggest. he might be want to move, especially since they already bought reus.

Curbishley odds on for the Wolves job with William Hill this morning, also far and away the most popular choice in a poll at the Express and Star. I think we cd do a lot worse.

Hazard will follow in the great tradition of Spurs players like Rivaldo and Samuel Eto'o.

Or 'arry's 'bankrupt a club then do a runner' plan is coming good again.
