Tooj 17 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 This reminds me a bit of when we sacked Hughton and brought Pardew in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16991 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Their owner is by all accounts a bit of an arsehole, even more so than Ashley. My mates old man has just retired from SFC after working there since the new stadium was built and he described the chairman Nicola Cortese as the rudest man he'd ever met in his life :lol:First thing he did after he got the job was to put a ticket machine in the staff car park..that raised morale, as you may imagine...Mauricio Pochatino? Argie ex manager of Espanyol has taken over already.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Baffling descision. Thought he was getting a lot out of those players. Gave Chelsea the runaround for a good half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah I heard that. Hopefully they will spiral now. Think them, Reading and Qpr are in the down slots. If Qpr climb then us and Villa will have to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9108 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think he was the manager. No forestry duties in his job description ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Crazy decision - not sure who they've replaced him with. They've been decent going forward all year - poor at the back mind but they've always look decent overall when I've watched them. I think Adkins past might be where they've lost confidence in him - coming from a Physio* to a manager. *I'm fairly sure this is what happened.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think he was the manager. Had them bottom on 9 points from 13 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Had them bottom on 9 points from 13 games They've since earned 9 points from 6 games, losing just one. This could be a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Really hope this screws up any rhythm they had going. He was doing a very good job there (following on from Pardew's foundations). It's quite a strange replacement as well, especially seeing as it's come immediately after his sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This first press conference is funny. He can't even speak English! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Reading around a little bit, it seems like he's a bit of a taskmaster and was at one point considered a highly talented coach. Interesting to see how this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
