Charlie Wayman Posted 25 January, 2022 Share Posted 25 January, 2022 (edited) Strange indeed as part of the reason given for him leaving Palace was health concerns. Having said that he is a lovely personable gentleman and it will be good to see him back on the touchline. Rather one of him than ten Bielsa's or Guardiola's.

HarvSFC Posted 25 January, 2022 Share Posted 25 January, 2022 Neil Warnock’s retired about 20 times and Sam Allardyce “retired” after leaving Palace too, before taking the Everton and West Brom jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 25 January, 2022 Share Posted 25 January, 2022 Thanks for pointing out the climate emergency of discarded Watford managers clogging up our oceans Dr who. Fortunately Watford managers are reusable. For example, if relegated, you can rehire the one who got you promoted last time, but who got chucked for not being in the top 6 after a month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 26 January, 2022 Share Posted 26 January, 2022 (edited) Everton making themselves look absolute mentalists at the moment, not just the club/board it's self but the fans as well. Fair enough they don't want Vitor Pereria, but it's a bit of an own goal to graffiti 'Pereria out' across the stadium when he hasn't even been appointed yet. Granted, he sounds like an absolutely horrific choice but still they're not helping themselves. Edited 26 January, 2022 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Kent Saint Posted 26 January, 2022 Share Posted 26 January, 2022 Watched The Big Match today at lunchtime on ITV4 , Saints v Fulham ‘76 4-1 to Saints , George Best red card for foul language to ref ! Quite a few heavy tackles by Saints on Rodney Marsh and others .Osgood , Mcdougal , Channon etc for Saints . McDougal and Mel Blyth ? Scored. 2 each . Ted’s goals excellent and Mel’s both headers well taken. Alex Stock moaning about fouls by Saints and no bookings whereas Fulham got several in the book . Worse than foul language !!

HarvSFC Posted 26 January, 2022 Share Posted 26 January, 2022 The Sporting Lisbon manager - Ruben Amorim is the man you want if you're exploring the Portuguese managerial market. They play great football, he has a +100 GD there from 65 matches, a 74.71% win percentage and took them to their first league title in 20 years last season. They're currently second and finished second in their CL group, above Dortmund and have Man City next month. Surprised he hasn't gained more attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 28 January, 2022 Share Posted 28 January, 2022 I thought the format of the winter break was to split the fixtures across two weeks (five games one weekend and five the next) so that all clubs get a break but there are still games both weekends.

When did it turn into this bullshit? There was the trial in 19/20, when it was exactly that - half one week, half the next etc. For whatever reason the powers that be have decided to have a full 15 day break for everyone. Probably pressure from the big six and Newcastle, so they can get all their signings in and integrated with the squad. You'd think this would be the perfect gap to play all of the re-arranged fixtures, daft really. Weirdly I notice an exception has been made for Burnley v Watford which is played next weekend, one of the re-arranged fixtures. That Newcastle postponement stinks even more.

Teddeer Posted 28 January, 2022 Share Posted 28 January, 2022 After all those games were cancelled due to 'covid' the winter break should have been cancelled and as many games as possible rearranged.

LuckyNumber7 Posted 29 January, 2022 Share Posted 29 January, 2022 It's actually not a 'winter break' as such, it's because this week is officially designated as an international break.

Meanwhile, the winter break consists of Newcastle playing Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. Ciaran Clark was sent off for hitting someone. It's another window to play money friendlies around the world and then managers will come back moaning that their players are tired again. 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season he done well getting them into the top 4 and integrating a lot of the younger players (Mount etc.), which seem to just be forgotten. Second season, they became slightly too predictable to play against. The only thing with Lampard for me is he seems too nice and I can imagine giving the players a fairly easy time of it, where as your tuchel, klopps etc. Are just perfectionists and demand ridiculous intensity at all times (the difference between a good and great manager I guess). That being said, If (big if), he’s given 2 / 3 seasons at Everton to turn the tide and build his own squad, I think he could do okay there.
