Whats wrong with football?

Will they get a points deduction next season

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

They got a 3 points deduction this season for the same offence.

Can see no reason why they wouldn’t get more of the same next season.

They ‘only’ didn’t pay those players who are OOC at the end of this season.

[tans]

Those players are still under contract until July

5 fucking times ffs. Make an example of them.

Another 3 points would be a joke they need a zero after the three

Below (from 442) is a list of certain clubs last 20 managers (excluding caretakers ( think), note John Chapman managed Manchester United in the 1920s, while Thomas Mitchell was the first Arsenal manager back when the team was still called Dial Square.

20 permanent managers ago for us was Andy King (first time round) so closest to Chelsea probably. Only three managers have reached 100 games this century (King, Wilson, Cooper).

In my lifetime (almost 60) we had 13 managers in the first 30 years and have had 26 in the next 30.

To be fair, unlike Chelsea & Watford we haven’t sacked that many of them (especially recently)

Only two managers since Steve McMahon have managed two full back to back seasons. King and Cooper. Insane really.

Post King (2005):

Onoura - offered a demotion and turned it down (so basically sacked)
Wise - left to join Leeds
Sturrock - left to join Plymouth
Malpas - sacked
Wilson - resigned
Hart - sacked
Di Canio - left in a strop
MacDonald - resigned for personal reasons
Cooper - sacked
Ling - resigned for personal reasons
Williams - sacked
Flitcroft - left for Mansfield
Brown - sacked
Wellens - left for Salford
Sheridan - sacked/resigned under pressure
Garner - left for Charlton
Lindsey - left to Crawley
Morris - sacked

So of the last 18, seven left for pastures new and two left for non-footballing reasons (Ling/MacDonald). The other half were sacked or resigned under significant pressure.

Yet 288 fools voted for him, possibly giving credence to the oft held view that you could stick a certain coloured rosette to an animal in certain areas and people will blindly vote for it!

Surely your not suggesting the Conservative candidate vetting process lacks due diligence. From what I know of him, he fulfills all of the criteria required to be a Tory MP.

You're quite right, think he doesn't appear on Rich Banyard's list because he didn't manage a game. No idea how you'd categorise him either!

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

He should definitely be on the list. Put him down as 'mutual consent'... needs to be on there though... 'can't airbrush history' and all that...

Just been having a conversation with the DNA about the Arsenal collapse. His second team like me town being our first obvs.

I see the problem for Arsenal being next season that a number of newer unfashionable clubs all see the prospect of European football within their grasp as the PL title is a bridge to far in terms of player recruiting and the costs of that. The prize these days isn’t the title anymore it’s European football qualification as that’s where the money is. First the LC became a burden to the big clubs, then the FA cup and now to an extent the PL title. You don’t have to win the PL to get a chance at the football money pot.
