steef Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 No utd fan but i think Mourinho is the only one with the balls big enough to follow fergie.

gingerjon Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 In football terms, surely it is worth big coverage, isn't it? I can't see anyone but a big-name manager getting 1/10th of the leeway that Ferguson has had. The news says that Moyes is the favourite but there's a big difference between squeezing excellence out of a mid-ranking, hard-working squad and persuading excellent players to get away from fixing their hair in the mirror and performing on the pitch. The fact that you can't just create another Fergie is shown by the (ahem) varied careers those who've learnt under him have had. Bryan Robson's career being a particularly fine example of a determined, grafting and gifted player tutored by a focused, knowledgeable and strong-minded manager leading to an utterly woeful sequence of flops. I can't see Ferguson retiring without a succession plan being in place though. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Futtocks Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 From Twitter: Ryan Giggs will play under a new manager next season for the first time in his club career. He's 39-years old.

trakl Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Watching absent-mindedly the Wigan v Swansea match, I perked up when co-commentator Alan Smith commented on one of the player's ballooning the ball over the bar by referencing the fact that rugby is played at the stadium too... only for Martin Tyler to tell Sky viewers that the kick would have been awarded 3 points. It was only mildly irritating - and at least I didn't hear Wigan rugby being blamed for the state of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hull City's owners, the Allams, are holding a celebratory party at the KC tonight in honour of their team's promotion to the Premier league. They've invited 30,000 fans to a free, ticket only gathering. Hull City Council offered to hold a civic reception for them and an open top bus tour. The Allams refused their offer, saying the Council have acted against the club so why should they be involved with the council. Strange that, Hull City appear to play at a Council owned property. And they still claim to be building their own stadium somewhere... http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Allams-rule-Tigers-KC/story-18922878-detail/story.html#axzz2SaOKJnQM Anyway, does anybody know what to do with 22,000 unused tickets for a promotion party as only 8,000 have turned up tonight.

shrek Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I can't see Ferguson retiring without a succession plan being in place though.I know times have changed, but a there was a great 1/2 hour piece on Tuesday just gone on Radio 4 about Bill Shankly, apparently he was watching TV one night at home, stood up and informed his wife he was quitting in the morning and that was that!

bedlam breakout Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 on subject of fergie, any manager can win stuff when a club can afford to pay a player 250 000 pounds a week and just snap up players like ronaldo and van persie at the drop of a hat, lets hear more for the managers who gain promotion with lower league teams whos players will earn less in a lfetime than vidic or rooney do in a season. the ones who have to motivate without 70000 crowds and 24hr media attention. the inside of a 3star halex table tennis ball smells much like you'd expect it to.

His success has brought about the crowds, ability to pick up players etc Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

The Hull Daily Mail website is reporting that only 6,000 turned up. Tens of thousands of people lined the streets on the way to the civic reception the last time they were promoted. Allam comes across as a petty vindictive man. I also think he's made a bit of a fool of himself. He was on the TV last night claiming he'd done it all for the community, yet here he is turning his back on the community. I had to laugh at the idiot who sent a text message in to Look North dismissing the council's offer of a civic reception, claiming that councillors only wanted to know when somebody had a bit of success.

bedlam breakout Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I read on twitter that Man Utd have actually spent less than their nearest rivals. £500+ million with many trophies compared with Liverpools £600+ million for hardly anything (deffo no title) If that is true then it clearly isn't just about money. did you just actually post that? 600m compared to 500m spent ? its not just about money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the inside of a 3star halex table tennis ball smells much like you'd expect it to.
