In that case, David Moyes has won more trophies for Man U than Van Gaal has and will

Garde's an idiot for taking the Villa job. He was being talked up as Wenger's successor and now he's going to have a big claret and blue failure on his record.

it's a no lose situation. if he keeps us up he's a miracle worker, if we go down he 'couldn't do anything'

Sherwood performed that miracle and look what happened to him. Going to a poisoned chalice club is a dumb move when he could have dicked around at rich French clubs for a few years and then waltzed into the Arsenal job like a French Moyes.


edit: I'm not sure Lerner backs managers so much as gives them enough rope to hang themselves.

Hmmm disagree, gathering some prem XP to distinguish himself from the other fancy dans overseas is useful - just look at houllier and ranieri

But Houllier and Ranieri performed in foreign lands and then got given a big club as their first English job? Thats what I reckon Garde should have done. Houllier wouldn't have got the Liverpool job he'd done what he did at Villa first.

I just went and checked out Villa's squad expecting it to be total poo poo and was pretty surprised. It isn't half as bad as Sunderland or Norwich.

The only Villa players that would get in Norwich's team are Richards and Okore (even though I've never been impressed with him I'm not sure he can be worse than Martin is atm). Maybe Lescott too depending on how old and knackered he is these days.

He's no Steve Evans

Meanwhile: Steve Evans’s week one press conference highlights. Evans on morale: “I think the players saw a corner turned when Steve Evans walked in”; On his work ethic: “When Steve Evans asks players to be brave, I want them on the ball”; On his vision: “I’m a realist. Steve Evans doesn’t lie in bed and dream”; And on a fake Steve Evans quote circulating on Twitter: “What a scandalous, horrible thing to attribute to Steve Evans.”

In my unbiased opinion the best pundits are Jake Humphrey, Simon Thomas, the Norwich one off of football weekly, and Stephen Fry. The worst pundits are all the Liverpool ones.

I wasn't saying that but thinking about it I don't think animals can commit crimes I think they lack the neccessary intent. Maybe we could get them on strict liability crimes I don't know I'm not a lawyer.

He certainly seems to want more than anyone will actually pay once they take a proper look at the club.

Boruc pretty much threw the ball in his own net 4-5 times before they replaced him with Federici.

They bought both of them in the summer so imagine how bad the guy they replaced must have been whoever he is

To be fair they had Boruc on loan last season and he helped get them promoted so they knew what they were getting with him.

And they still bought him?

Ewar Woowar posted:

Will you guys splash the cash?

We'll probably try to buy 1 or 2 defenders, whether we get them is another question, in summer we repeatedly try to buy fancy foreign players who clearly will never want to play for Norwich and then panicked when that fact became clear.

Newcastle are in a death spiral and the squad are ringing their agents every day for any chance of a route out, defines "doomed from the start" to a tee

This presumes that a Newcastle squad where they are all planning exits is worse than 3 of Villa, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Norwich, possibly Swansea and I'm not sure it is

Is it massive? I thought that while the Sky pl deal is the biggest it's also split more evenly among the teams whereas the top 2-3 teams in the other European leagues - maybe Germany excepted? - are taking home the majority of the broadcasting money for their league, roughly evening it out.

Only Real, Barca, PSG, Bayern can match English financial muscle and you don't see them struggling to get through piss easy group stages.
