Paulo Sousa

[Philbert Fox]

Ever since ex Portuguese International Paulo Sousa left the Club I have often wandered whether he was bribed by an outside source - offering him money to ensure games were purposely lost. Here are five factors that support my suspicions:

1. He used attacking tactics with a team whom the majority were used to playing a more cautious style of play over the previous two years under Nigel Pearson.

2. In his previous two jobs at Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City, he used defensive tactics and then joined a team who had played similar tactics for two years, and completely changed the style of play - which is extremely rare for a manager to do.

3. He did not bring in many players to suit his attack minded approach.

4. On the touchline and in interviews, he never showed much passion, enthusiasm and frustration when things were going wrong.

5. Comparing his post match interviews, he often replied in a similar manor and said similar things after each game.

Now as much as I am a great admirer of Sousa and feel he wasn't given enough time to work his magic, it does raise the question.

I bet if you were top dog at the FA you'd have caught him before it happened.

[foxoffderby]

Maybe he was just shit

[Philbert Fox]

You laugh, but these things do unfortunately occur in football.

It's possible you don't know Forest, Derby or Cov could have payed him to do shit here.

Have I just entered the twighlight zone?

[Wymsey]

It makes me suspicious about our away games under Sven now. We lost two so will the sequence continue that way....?

[Zingari]

actually, now you come to mention it, he did look rather like a shifty ,on the make. gigolo type foreigner

[MrSpaM]

I'm guessing it's either The Illuminati, or the Reptilians

[Brainy]

definitely something fishy going on

[Trav Le Bleu]

Where's El Empty when you need him?

And I just realised what WUM stands for

this job is too big for Empty ,,

I'm on the hotline to David Icke

He was criticised for playing negative football so perhaps a fresh start would allow him to play total football

Sadly for the fans (not for him, he probably got 2-3 years money) he didn't have a fooking clue & was a total tool, I think Sven's record is nearly 2pts per game, if he'd have started the season we'd be challenging for top 2, rather than being in the bottom two when he got sacked.

Good riddance

[Zingari]

actually this thread has cheered me up a bit

Up till this moment I was convinced that Magnum P.I. was the greatest ever detective.

Now you'd better have a good tache and a fast car or you can fvck right off for ruining my world.

Perhaps you should present your evidence to Lisa. She might consider writing a book...Philbert Fox Smells Pie In The Sky!

Teehee ^^ I just think he wasn't very good. In Sven we trust.
