Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

He was on the BBC a few weeks back cos he's fronting up this scheme to get older folk to come up with a playlist. The idea being that if you're unfortunate enough to suffer with dementia at some point, that this can bring some comfort and spark memories, etc. 

 

He seems to have slowed down a canny bit, as you would expect, but I'm sure he saw this as a real slap in the face given what he did for them.

Ok, who do we actually think told him to his face? ☺️

 

 

Given their treatment of Ten Hag I am willing to bet they made him do it by dangling a post it with Tuchel's phone number on it in his face.

A German managing England is going to trigger so many little Englander cunts. I'm all for it.

It's a fucking disgrace. My grandfather didn't fight in WW2, killing hundreds, only to have one of his countrymen take the England job.

I bet Carsley thought fuck this. Don't blame him. 

[Dazzler 11718]

Win win for him really. If he’s class it’s a masterstroke and he’s a genius. If he’s shite he’s a German cunt that made us shit on purpose because of the wars.

Aye. Given his recent comments about going back to the U21’s he obviously knew this was on the cards and picked that team for the Greece match half cut on Skol and Guinness.

[Gemmill 49832]

I like the appointment, but it's a pretty sad indictment of the FA's grand succession planning that they haven't got a viable successor. We're straight back to "pick a foreign bloke that's won something". 

 

Was it Ashworth that set this failed system up? 

[Alex 36694]

System only works if the successor wants the job. I don’t know if Carsley was definitely sounded out but the reaction to the Greece game might’ve made his mind up. Ruched seems very tactically astute anyway, which is probably the most important thing at international level 

[Gemmill 49832]

I don't think you offer it to Carsley, and only then sound out Pep and Ancelotti. There's talk that they'd already spoken with Pep in the summer too. 

 

You also don't appoint Carsley on an interim basis if the plan is for him to get the job. 

 

I'm telling you, this all comes back to Dan Ashworth being a useless prick.

The wheel that he sits at the centre of is buckled.
