English Football 13/14

  1. SuperNova SJ Nova

    Ragnick should be #1 on Everton's list and it's not even close.
     
  2. Verigoat S Verigotta

    Heard rumours of Luadrup

    That wouldn't be that bad
     
  3. PienaarColada DH Mulray

    We can barely afford the £2 million compo for Martinez never mind the reported £10M for Laudrup!
     
  4. Verigoat S Verigotta

    When we get Baines you'll have that plus change
     
  5. PienaarColada DH Mulray

    Baines will be a straight swap for Rooney.
     
  6. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Yeah I think so too. He just had no idea what he was doing. The club was still burdened with the huge wages of crap players he bought right up until this season.
     
  7. Magrat Garlick M Garlick

    Thought he's got the sack at like 10 Bundesliga clubs? I understand he's seeking a job abroad but never struck me as a great coach
     
  8. GIMH GIMH Martyn

    Mind you they never should have sacked Sven. He was decent at City.
     
  9. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Yeah don't know what they were thinking sacking him to bring in Hughes. Almost an identical boob to England replacing him with McLaren.

    That was Shinawatra though wasn't it?
     
  10. Baxter MJ Deane

    I thought that was an insane strike at first. Horrible deflection but fair play.
     
  11. SuperNova SJ Nova

    He re-signed at Ulm, Hoppenheim and Schalke (2nd time). Sacked at Schalke (1st time), Hannover and Stuttgart.

    His CV in Germany is pretty solid (ordered from earliest to latest)

    - Won the Intertoto Cup with Stuttgart, got them back into the top 8 in his first season, though had big struggles in his 2nd season and sacked (nearly relegated)
    - Got Hannover promotion for the first time in over a decade, and put them into the mid/lower table in Bundesliga in back to back years, but was sacked as they were in danger of relegation in the 2nd season
    - Back to back promotions with Ulm to the Bundesliga despite being a small club averaging under 10,000 fans with little money.
    - Back to back promotions with Hoppenheim, who then led at the half way point in their first Bundesliga season, could well of been a serious threat to win if Ibsevic didn't tear his ACL. Though obviously aided with financial assistance, the Bundesliga performance was unbelievable.
    - Took over Schalke, while it was a short spell, knocked out a far superior Inter Milan team to make the semis of the CL for first time in Schalke history, also won the Pokal and Supercup in his 6 months in charge, then stepped down suffering from 'exhaustion'.


    Some ups and downs, but specially his more recent spells with Hoppenheim and Schalke were pretty impressive, don't think it's any surprise Schalke had a pretty good season in 11/12 either, laid the groundwork for it.

    I'd put him ahead of Martinez easily. Though I must admit don't know as much on Periera, seems to of done a solid job at Porto, but if the compensation for Martinez is a problem, surely that would rule Periera out?

    Pereira is out of contract I think.
     
  13. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Hoffenheim played some fucking brilliant stuff back then too. Might even trace Germany's current style back to the emergence of that team.
     
  14. Mariner CL Warrington

    So Mourinho returns...
     
  15. Verigoat S Verigotta

    Andros Townsend banned for 4 months for breaching betting regulations on footballers
     
  16. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Not really though. He won't actually miss a game for three years.

    It's a good verdict for Spurs really, they really needed backup on the wings last season.

    I can easily imagine November 2013 happening ftr
     
  19. SuperNova SJ Nova

    I hope November happens :lol:
