Horsetan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I see Big Sam has picked up the poisoned chalice that is the Sunderland job. Early next year......maybe.... Statement issued by Sunderland AFC "The club would like to place on record its thanks to Peter, Howard, Mick, Roy, Steve, Martin, Paolo, Gus, Dick...........Sam" Welcome to the Stadium of Sh*te.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted October 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2015 We now have "The Normal One" ensconced at Liverpool. I can't wait to see what happens next. We now have "The Normal One" ensconced at Liverpool. I can't wait to see what happens next. A symptom of the way football is run these days by big conglomerates as entertainment rather than sport. Klopp maybe a great coach and manager (we shall see) but he is just not "Liverpool". I can't see it working. Rodgers could have been the right man in the Liverpool tradition but I think that he is a good coach who will perhaps, like Big Mal Allison, never make it as a manager. Note much comment in the papers about his £7M a year deal. But that is nothing to what a lot of players are getting now. Will Klopp contribute more to Liverpool than Mario Balotelli.? I think so. But then even I might have done more for Liverpool than "super" Mario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted October 14, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2015 I see Big Sam has picked up the poisoned chalice that is the Sunderland job. I wonder if he'll find the 'Sunderland Way' to play football? In fairness he stumbled upon the 'West Ham Way' by playing the type of football the fans didn't like, prompting them to decide that any other type was clearly 'the way'. That said, in the last few seasons the 'Sunderland Way' has been to play like rubbish, prop up the table for most of the season, fire the manager, replace said manager who shouts at the players a lot, players respond by scraping survival, manager is a hero and in turn responds by buying lots of overpriced has-beens who play like rubbish, prop up the table.....etc etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I see the BBC have produced their "Price of Football 2015 Survey" accompanied by the usual Premier League "protests".http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34507719 Good to see that Leicester are the cheapskates of the Premiership. Some of the lower league stuff is fascinating - I'm glad I'm not a Chesterfield fan who can pay £530 (FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS) for a season ticket if they so wish, but you do get a Golden Chesterfield Tub Chair to sit on: Edited October 15, 2015 by cary hill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I think Stoke are even more bargain basement than Leicester, according to that table. Certainly true for season tickets but I was looking at the cost of a single match ticket. You can also buy a Villa season ticket for "only" £335 and watch the possible demise of Tim "my players need more pashun" Sherwood.

cary hill Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 when a season ticket could give you a whole season's worth of enjoyable misery? Already got one ....although I can't be too miserable as it's been a bargain so far - 20 goals in 4 games at £3.84 each...... if your not too fussy about which end they're going in.

It's partisan posts like this that stopped me looking in on this thread. Hardly Einsteinian thought processes at work generally speaking and the usual tribalist abuse seems to surface occasionally like in this instance. I'm just sooo relieved SAFC didn't appoint Nigel Pearson - no class, no track record. Hat, coat, I won't be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted October 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2015 Football is, always has been and always will be tribalistic. You just have to learn to put up with the jibes and give as good as you get. It's all part of the 'fun'. It could be worse, you could be a Mag.

cary hill Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) It could be worse, you could be a Mag. I'm hoping McClaren and Newcastle are planning to extend their "pre-season" for a few more games yet and that should be one of the relegation places booked fairly shortly. I'll have some of whatever McClaren is smoking. Edited October 16, 2015 by cary hill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
