What type of nonsense is this? Player with 1 red card in their career needs talking to?!?

 

maybe go and have a word with Rodri or do we just want to put ref focus on someone from little old brentford?

This can't have been written by a human.

Keith Hackett is a rent-a-gob who does all he can to stay relevant and shit on PGMOL as much as possible.

 

He's done a great number here in spouting something which has been extrapolated to a PGMOL bashing baity article based on.... not much.

Thomas Frank seems favourite to go Tottenham, done a fantastic job at Brentford but I'm not sure if he's any better than what that got with Ange. If Frank heads over to North London, pretty convinced Brentford will stick with Danish and go and get Kasper Hjulmand the former Denmark coach. I wish we had went for him instead of Cooper.

Really intrigued how he'll do at Spurs. Brilliant coach, and has done incredibly well at Brentford.

However, at Brentford the coaching set up, behind the scenes, probably even the recruitment were all shaped and built with his involvement.

Interested how he does being dropped into Spurs where everything is already in place, where recruitment isn't around the Brentford algorithm and model and the financial backing isn't fully there

He has done really well at Brentford, but how much time will he get at Spurs if he does go there I wonder.  Looking at their past managers, particularly since 2001 when Levy was made chairman, only three, Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino have lasted longer than two years.  Levy has fired more than a dozen managers ( not including the stand ins) in that time.  He will need to turn it around there quite quickly and maintain into that second season.

Yeah that's going to be issue, Brentford I feel he's got more control and say of what happens at the football club. Tottenham as you say everything as to be run by Levy and if he's not board with it, he we won't agree to it. This perhaps why it never worked out for Conte and Jose, they were never allowed to build or control things.

 

Pressure will be on him straight away and the fans will turn on him quite quickly, some Tottenham fans seemed prepared to give Ange more time seeing as he won their first cup in donkey's years despite a very poor league campaign. Interesting to see how Frank handle's the pressure compared to Brentford were the fans loved him. 

 

Nuno found it hard as he was never accepted by the Tottenham fans and was always against the clock from day one.

Its a bit strange the amount of PGMOL related content that Football Insider seems to post, quoting a guy who has been shown to have a very public vendetta against them, as their main source. I've seen a number of articles that cite things that have supposedly been missed or happened, or things about to happen with certain repercussions then nothing.

 

A lot of it unsurprisingly turns out to be rubbish, I know there isn't a high bar for journalism these days but I don't see how you can keep posting rubbish from the same source.

Forest are such a revolting organisation. A stain on the East Midlands.

 

Jelly and ice cream when the fat gimp that owns them keels over.

[Tommy Fresh]

What a shitty pathetic club

[Sol thewall Bamba]

So now that gluttonous pig wants the rules applied?

[Fear Of The Fox]

All Greek media report daily how Marinakis is still involved heavily in Forest and their future signings and now this team have the audacity to request Palace to be banned from Europe! The corruption in FA, Premier League and UEFA has reached the stratosphere. 

[ALC Fox]

So Marinakis supposedly diluted his ownership of Forest to comply with the rules in case Forest and Olympiakos ended up in the same European competition, yet he still has sufficient control to march on to the pitch and confront the manager and medical staff after Awoniyi's injury?

 

We all know he's still the boss. The fact they've written to UEFA makes a mockery of the rules. And I'm well aware we're just as morally repugnant.

 

Palace fans deserve their Europa League campaign. Forest deserve their Conference League season.

 

We should just sack off all multi-club models. Yet another example of how crap modern football is.

And people on here had a pop at me when I said they were an objectively despicable club from top to bottom who relied on corruption, cheating and blind luck.

Exactly. Back in the day multi ownership wasn't allowed. Teams had a choice of a "feeder" club in lower divisions with strict rules. Now they're not only allowing this model but they also allow owners from countries which blatantly violate the human rights. I'm amazed Kim Jong Un haven't bought a football club in Europe yet.

That would be a poor Korea move.

Let's hope he buys us. Sure fire way to get rid of Rudkin.

I was saying from January on that their fall off was inevitable, they were in an artificially high position, due in no small part to their own luck and indifferent form of rivals, and that Conference League would be about their speed. It was honestly bizarre to see a small number of Leicester fans get shirty about those facts. One even rage blocked me ffs. 😂

In fairness, a tale that starts with Forest fans singing 'is this the way to Barcelona' and ends with them being dumped out of Europe by Hibernian before the kids go back to school would be peak football heritage.
