LK Ferguson would only be unpopular because he is Scottish. BUT he would have instant respect of the players. Because he's already managed a lot of them and his history of trophies far exceeds that of most managers. The simple argument against Allardyce is he's won nowt, plays a brand of uninspiring...

whilst he sorted out the whole rotten mess from under 5's up Because if there's one thing Allardyce knows, it's how to handle young talent. Just ask Vaz Te, Augustyn, Fojut, Sinclair . . . I'm thinking there is some selective recollection going on in this thread . . . Nolan, Hunt, O'Brien... Has it...

In other news Paul Jewell is the front-runner for vacant Derby manager's position. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=496793&in_page_id=1779 If this is right I wonder why he chose Derby over Bolton, Wigan and the Rep of Ireland? Perhaps he was never off...

Re: McLeish to Brum
Can you really blame him?
He has to wait around for the world cup qualifiers and even then might not qualify?
In the mean time his chances of a career dissapear.

He isn't an England candidate, and in reality probably never really should have been. thats wack , exboss would be the ideal candidate , he's got all his american sabermetrics science stuff and a system which people would fit into , this would work no matter how 'good' england players are , thus we...

Allardyce would be a horrible appointment. When things would go badly for long periods at Bolton he seemed to have no idea how to fix them. God only knows what would have happened in 04-05 if Davies hadn't gotten hurt, pushing Diouf into that central striker role. We had another poor run of form in...

Don't care what you say 62M is a lot over 4 seasons to have spent net. Even for a club of Liverpools standing. I'd disagree, but there we go. With the TV income, Champions League income, Premiership prize money, merchandising and matchday income that Liverpool generate over a year, £15m isn't a hug...

I'm not suggesting they sack Benitez, although if I was Hicks or Gillett I'd be might unhappy that a manager was questioning whether he'd have money to spend when he's spent as much as Benitez has. Don't care what you say 62M is a lot over 4 seasons to have spent net. Even for a club of Liverpools s...

:conf: You'd have had all those things had Benitez NOT spent a single penny. Therefore as Bruce says it is £40mil in return for nothing. I don't think we would - we're having our best Premiership start for goodness knows how many years, certainly the best one we've had under Rafa. We'll never know ...

Re: Billy Davies Sacked
http://www.skysports.com/football Must say I'm a bit shocked. They spent no money, were always going to struggle, and he took them up at the first attempt. But hasn't he always had a "rocky" relationship with the board there? And at the weekend made a very public request for money in January. Not s...

Can anyone tell me how come certain sections (that'll be the ESL then) found it necessary to boo Rio Ferdinand, yesterday? Quite simply because he is a completely dislikeable twa.t. Is that a good enough reason? Only if you're shallow enough. But if the cap fits! :roll: Shallow enough? To dislike R...

I realise he has ruled himself out, but I reckon Allardyce would take the job if the FA offered it to him. I'm not surprised that a man of his ego has decided against wearing his heart on his sleeve this time round, and as we all know, it would do him no favours with the Geordies if he did. With Mo...

Your disclaimer is laughable TD. You're basically saying "I'm not racist, but...." which is an embarrassing and common tactic of mild racists. Did you really need to mention the ethnicity of the perpetrator? He merely says the perpetrator is of "foreign extraction". In most cases this would be unne...
