Kenilworthy Posted 2 September, 2010 Share Posted 2 September, 2010 If MON really wants to follow the same path as his mentor Brian Clough then that must include dropping down the divisions to earn a lot of money managing a south coast club funded by an ambitious owner. And then leaving after a few months including a home thrashing by Bristol Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmbrm Posted 2 September, 2010 Share Posted 2 September, 2010 I HATE win percentages. Is there a worse form of evidence in football argument? They do it in the papers too. I can only assume this means winning the conference is better than coming mid-table in the premiership. Although to counter that, mid-table with chelsea would be awful, while winning the conference with eastleigh would be very good. Liverpool won more than fulham last season. One had a great season, one had an awful one. Win ratios are just for people who can't comprehend there are different leagues, fixtures, squads, expectations, resources and so on. Oh yes indeed: percentage of possesion, which means total zero, not even points. Then come shots on goal/off goal. Last season Chelsea away stuffed some team 4-0 i think, yet those stats had then down as less of the play and about one third of the goal attempts. the fact that they just won the ball and passed it into the opponents net doesn't count: ******ing around with the ball for 5 minutes then shooting into row Z seems to count for more.

St_Tel49 Posted 2 September, 2010 Share Posted 2 September, 2010 OK - its nothing too ITK but to avoid a million PMs: Someone I know was talking to Gus Poyet when the conversation turned to Saints. Referring to the quality of our squad GP said that if he managed saints he would not take his years salary if he could not get us promoted. It was not a pitch for the job - simply a comment on how he viewed our squad. That said we could do a lot worse than him but I doubt if he would leave Brighton.

That was put on this thread like ages ago.... EDIT: BY YOU FFS! Unlikely to happen I know, but I think that Gus Poyet could tick a lot of boxes from NC's point of view. I have also heard that he said that if he were managing Southampton he wouldn't take his salary if we were not promoted. He was not angling for the job - more commenting on the circumstances.

SuperMikey Posted 2 September, 2010 Share Posted 2 September, 2010 If it's to be Zola - pleeeease bring your boots with you. Replace Hammond and you could be captain and manager. Would still be amazing in this league. I remember reading an interview with some West Ham player a few weeks after Zola took over, talking about how things were going. Apparently if Zola joined them for training, he would run rings around all of the players and quite often the squad would just stand and watch him in awe of his technique and skills. The player remarked that Zola was probably still as technically gifted than most 'quality' Premiership players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
