Wholeheartedly agree with this. Except for the coming unstuck at tournaments part, I'd argue he's gone well beyond most managers from the past |

At one point there was a picture going round for a furniture store called Sofa King. Their delivery van had their slogan on it: Our prices are Sofa King low" |

When I was in my early 20s, rented a house with a couple of buddies mostly on the basis that it was literally across the road from a pub. One nice perk being, if we were in the beer garden out front and one of the girlfriends was in the front room and we managed to catch their eye, we had the sign language for "get a frozen pizza in the oven and wave to us when it's done" down to a science. |

Gotta get Danny Maddix in there surely?
Feel like Simon Barkers mullet must have gotten pretty close to allowing him into the hairband xi at one point. |

Would add:

Adel's Swansea goal, Joe Allen still wakes up in a cold sweat about that

Would also stop all the nonsense of a) playing B teams, because the non European teams would see this as a legit chance for Europe b) whining about fixture congestio |

Reply | Eze for England!
at 01:24 30 May 2024
This thread does raise an interesting point about what makes a "legend". I think in all honesty the game is just different now to 20 years ago, especially when it comes to longevity and loyalty.
I'd call Eze a "modern legend" in the same vein as Adel, Clint Hill etc, but while he may be their equal as a player, he clearly doesn't share the same legend status as the likes of Macca, Marsh etc.
If nothing else, he's
A) the club record transfer fee and single handedly kept us solvent
B) the first player in what, 3 decades? to come through as a youngster, make his first team debut and play for England |

Reply | Marti Contract??
at 00:27 23 May 2024
I've always thought that the first 12 months of a contract should be completely and utterly guaranteed. Can't sack a manager, even if you want to (same with players) and they can't walk away.
Would mean clubs would actually have to do proper due diligence about who they appoint. Would also mean we avoid the ridiculous Beale nonsense AND players wouldn't be able to just down tools because they don't like the manager - they know they're stuck for at least 12 months.
Sign a new contract, same thing applies, first 12 months you can't move on or be moved on. |

I believe the key for us financially is that Eze gets a start. Let's hope one of those pre tournament friendlies Southgate gives him a crack from the beginning |

I'd imagine 2 of the judges are told in advance you vote for fury, you vote for usyk. That way we get a little more controversy and a more likely rematch. |

$70 here. I just couldn't do it.
If boxing hopes to keep any sliver of credibility here, please let the winner be the person that deserves it, not whatever has already been decided before the fight. And please please please no bllsht "draw" which sets up a big money rematch. |

Every other year would be the smart way to do it, means that even if you just miss the cut off and feel like you got screwed, you'll be fine next year. Raising it a year every year just means people just missing out continue to do so.
But sounds like otherwise they've generally handled this well, good on the club |

I don't think it's any more complicated than:
1. The lighter shinpads, boots whatever make them a fraction better at their jobs in an profession where every fraction counts
2. Nobody likes getting hurt
I dont really understand it myself, never felt like shinpads or big clunky boots did me any harm, but then again I was pretty sht. Maybe it was the boots all along  |

Jeff, clearly a masterpiece of salesmanship here to remind those of us who aren't already donating that we should do so and it's worth every penny. May I suggest next time a less obvious pseudonym?
Excited to give this a listen, thanks to everyone who contributes in some way to what it takes to keep this site up and running. |

Reply | Manisha Taylor
at 15:36 10 May 2024
Ramsey is directly credited by Eze, along with Paul Hall and Andy Impey, as being a reason he joined the club, and was subsequently a key figuring in making him the player he is today. Ditto Illias Chair.
So feel free to use the words waste of space, charlatan and incompetent if you want, but whenever he leaves he will do so having brought significantly more to the club than he took away
I'm not going to touch the rest of it. I assume you don't know Manisha personally or have worked for her directly, but I could be wrong of course. The fact that your automatic assumption is that a person getting a job at a significantly larger and more successful organization is because of the way they see the color of her skin or gender rather than the way they see her ability her ability says significantly more about you than it does her.
