Bang on. And I always said this about King at the time. His head always went and looked like he couldn't run, almost every game, nobody said a word yet for Tielemans he got constantly slagged for it. Terrific player for us Tielemans, one of the best midfielders I've seen here. Ended so sour but always a legend for the Cup Final goal.

RIP Brian.

Not to sound like Pep but players don't get a rest do they. We've just had International games, straight after the season ends, and now we're onto this pointless Club World Cup "competition". Players should all be resting ahead of the new season, which will come round really soon.

That said though he has changed the team a lot, as you would in friendlies, I don't really worry to much about friendlies.

Or not actually being good enough. Big difference between performing well for a team like Palace and then actually doing it for England. I don't buy being knackered considering how Portgual performed the other night. Being tired is just an excuse that we seem to use.

£15/£20 an adult for a friendly

Ait Nouri signs for Man City. Reporting £31m? Great price.

Sometimes I can't believe we had him. What a player.

Where's this from? Although I would be interested to see how he gets on at Championship level.

I agree but it's not how this club works is it. Long contracts for everyone!

Madness. When the last trophy you've won is nearly 50 years ago surely beggars can't be choosers. I'd take winning the League Cup every season, it's a trophy, it's glory, it's history.

Where's the local friendlies? I want us to lose to Kettering and people start saying how we're going to get relegated. Best part of pre season on here.

Argument of trophy win because Spurs never win trophies? Over the past decade they have continued to finish top 4 and win nothing or reach finals (domestic and Europe) and win nothing. This is one poor league season. Remember when Moyes was first at Everton and he finished near the relegation zone then the following season top 4. Winning a trophy means more to the fans. Not to people like Levy though, he’d rather continue to finish top 6 and not win anything just for the money.

They get stick all the time. When Mourinho went and when Pochettino went.

Thomas Frank to Spurs seems to be the rumour.

Joke of a decision that. First trophy in nearly 20 years.

I never knew Mark Hughes' first name is Leslie.

Everywhere I look now there's something about PSR or FFP. Or a club wanting to take another club to court. Everywhere people blaming money because of their own failures. So boring. Remember when you'd just read and talk about football or debate managers and players all without any talk of money.

No point talking to players when they haven't even decided who they want as manager first.

Honestly so arrogant I can't stand either of them.

Just need to get Vestergaard out next. Two of the worse defenders I've ever seen here.

No, not comparable, but question was about hiring a manager who failed in his previous job and Ranieri did (granted it was International football).

Ranieri?

Yes.
