Stadt

He's on the gravy train for life, he's not getting a job at a comparable club so there is zero reason other than pride to step down. Should have been sacked 3 times over.

My order of preference for the vacant managerial role at Leicester City Football Club (I've just caught up on the thread ). Schmidt - unlikely any decision makers have heard of him Corberan RVN Carsley Moyes/Potter

It must be the U17 world cup win that has ingratiated himself with the media classes snd salvaging such a massive, humongous sleeping giant (that are much better since he left). His PL record is SHIT, he's not hard done by. A 20.8 win % is rubbish, about 2% better than Mick McCarthy's.

Guardiola has lost 5 in a row. Huddersfield finished 20th in his first season there, they finished 3rd the season after so obviously in the play offs(with Ward in goal) and were probably a better refereeing performance away from going up against Cooper's Forest. They tapered off again but continually lost their best players each season, been nowhere near then since and got relegated. At West Brom in 22/23, he joined when they were rock bottom, 2 wins, 8 draws, 7 losses. They went on to finish 9th - under Corberan they won 16, drew 4 and lost 9 (may have miscalculated here as they had a caretaker for a few games). In the summer of '23 they had to rely on frees and loans, £0 spent because their owners don't give a toss. Lost two players for about £8m. They went on to finish 5th in the play offs Spent marginally more this season, circa £4m but still sold £5m. Currently 6, 8, 2 and on course for the play offs. He's done a remarkable job at WBA, their squad is full of championship cast offs like McNair, Jed Wallace, Daryl Dike etc. The most impressive thing about him is his preferred playing style is much more expansive but through circumstance he's made Huddersfield and WBA really hard to beat. Actual pragmatism.

His PL record is basically the same as Steve Kean’s. He’s shit at this level and the media reaction is remarkably lazy as usual. If he was foreign and less familiar to broadcasters through the U17 WC win and scraping survival with Forest, he’d be rightly criticised for crap coaching and tactical set ups.

Bell Wasserman again lad

Draws 0-0 with League 2 side after an abysmal performance. “Wow, these guys don’t like my Forest connection do they?” The man is a moron. Berating refs when we’re outshot by 13 efforts everyweek too.

“The club wouldn’t just sack a manager without anybody lined up” Are the same people who have been wrong about Top, Rudkin and the board for about 3 years. Rodgers had gone mouldy 18 months before his sacking and we still didn’t have anybody lined up. The club is owned by a juvenile reactionary whilst his acolyte board do nothing to challenge him. ”He was never convinced by Cooper” in the same way his first game was the Middlesbrough league cup final.

True. Sometimes I forget to index on the board’s stupidity.

Wouldn’t prioritise the latter tbh, don’t think they even have that filter on wyscout

Moyes is fairly sensible but I don’t think our squad suits him. He likes physicality and we just don’t have much of it.

Red Dead Redemption would make for a good tv adaption.

Schmidt would be amazing. Julien Stephan I’d be over the moon with. More likely I think the club will opt for Pottee but can’t see him jumping at the chance if he’s turned us down before.

Our midfield is always badly organised. Shouldn’t be easy to play through 3 DMs yet we make it a doddle. So deep and still so shit in transition. An average manager from a midtable Portuguese club would be an improvement.

Too many forest bores on the podcast circuit. Can’t stand Madri Storey.

About 0.35 non penalty xG. We’re abysmal offensively - he’s a crap tactician and a worse coach. We’re choosing relegation again if we don’t sack him.

European Bar Guide for pubs. Have a melange in the coffee shops. Pinball museum is a great way to kill a few hours. Gellert thermal baths are fantastic.

One day they’ll get some comeuppance.

Not quite ground my gears but a sales guy booked in a call with me for 17:00 - 17:30 next week, is it just me or is that really presumptuous?

Not played in ages. #WhenTaken #269 (22.11.2024) I scored 824/1000🏅 1️⃣📍452 km - 🗓️2 yrs - 🥇184/200 2️⃣📍11.1K km - 🗓️12 yrs - 🥉79/200 3️⃣📍532 km - 🗓️7 yrs - 🥇175/200 4️⃣📍1.3 km - 🗓️4 yrs - 🥇196/200 5️⃣📍141 km - 🗓️4 yrs - 🥇190/200 https://whentaken.com I was torn on the second, wasn't clear (to me) which of the two capitals it could have been.

I’m not a quotes person as such but Twain has lots that perfectly capture a lot things that are otherwise difficult to say. Give a man a reputation as an early riser and he can sleep ‘til noon.

Probably should have mentioned it but we offer a £500 referral fee too, if you know somebody interested in solar panels, you refer them and they choose us we'll pay you £500.

I don't think I've explicitly mentioned it on here but our family business are electrical contractors and we install solar panels, batteries and EV chargers. https://glenfieldelectrical.com

Yes. How far is the garage from the mains supply? Batteries aren't suitable for discharging into cars. Most home batteries are are 4-8 kWh and they'll only discharge to 20%, plus discharging so quickly and frequently knackers them. EV batteries are usually > 50 kWh so it barely makes a dent.

It's genuinely annoying that Top is called Top because it makes most criticism of the hierarchy/structure of the club look like a deliberate pun
