Reply | Leicester’s Maresca to Chelsea

It felt like the only thing that actually saved Maresca's job was the poor period of form that Leeds and Ipswich suffered. Their fans were calling for his head at that point.... |

Reply | Marti Contract??
at 17:11 22 May 2024
I think if we have learned anything over the past few appointments, it should be that we need to create a system and fit the manager in to retain the style and policy - This way it means losing a manager will have no immediate impact on the team. Obviously there will be close relationships etc, but we need to create a sustainable model.
Marti managed to get a fantastic reaction from a set of players that were versed in a different system that most of us had written off as a lost cause. If we had a system and style in place, the challenge would then be having a succession manager prepared that is aware of the expectations. |

Please let it be him. totally over rated manager with no technical ability, no idea how to change games and completely out of his depth. he's won 3 of their last 15 games. Extremely high opinion of himself.
Perfect fit. [Post edited 21 May 21:58]

at 16:54 18 May 2024
Am I the only person that thinks de Zerbi is over rated?
He inherited a successful system from Brighton/Potter/legacy and hasn't exactly uprooted trees - he also comes across as an ungracious bit of a prick...
Really surprised that he's being linked with all these other 'big' jobs.... |

I doubt very much whether Postecoglu or Howe played any part in that decision making process. Not defending their stance, but its greedy club owners and 'brand marketeers' that involve themselves heavily in that type of 'global recognition'
If I was them I'd take the development squad, or all the players that are about to be dropped or out of contract... |

Or as Mary Quant once said....

I think we should take a small section in Stuarts on the Uxbridge Rd.
The kits would fit well whilst browsing suitable brogues, Farah slacks and mid century modernist attire.

They've increased the OAP age limit, leaving me a year behind the curve. FML.

Agreed Fournil, Greg's pieces are excellent - knowledgeable, thoughtful and relevant.

Also going to be interesting to see how they approach being in the Premiership. You'd like to think that they will stick with the nucleus of their present side - the side that has won back to back promotions. |

Congratulations mate - mad to think that it was 21 years ago that we took the 'cake coach' to Cardiff for the play off final....
My eldest son had a grand daughter this time last year, and my youngest son is due this week... Still can't quite come to terms with being old enough to be a grand dad!!
It's all fun though - I love it and my grand daughter is an absolute dream.
I can't wait to start bringing them to the Upper Loft.... they are all due their punishment in life!! |

at 09:03 27 Apr 2024
If he doesn't want to stay another season and play under this manager, he and his advisors need a serious look at themselves. He's improving all the time in this team and Marti is the man to make his stock rise further... |

I thought we outplayed them physically and mentally tonight - an absolute masterclass from Marti, set them up almost perfectly to take the game to Leeds.
One of those nights when everything went right and everyone played their part in a complete humiliation for Leeds.
With some additions and shoring up some of the more important contracts, next season is going to be massively exciting.... |

I actually have plymouth losing both games... which would keep them below us.
I reckon hudds v brum is a draw... which means we only need a point from our two games... |

Sore point for me.
Due to extended amphetamine abuse as a youngster, my hampsteads became a source of entertainment for all and sundry.
I elected not to go down the Turkish route, and as a result, I've ended up spending nearly 25k over the last 6/7 years.
You eventually pay dearly for those fun years kids - don't do drugs!! |

Reply | Andersen
at 09:19 21 Apr 2024
Like a handful of our better players, I find Anderson a bit frustrating.
There's obviously a really good player in there - he's shown signs of some really classy football, but his decision making is sometimes poor and he tends to lose possession quite easily.
Hopefully once the balance across the side is sorted, he will have a strong part to play in our renaissance next season.
We definitely need to work on the dead ball situation next season - so many missed opportunities.
A very useful squad player for us. |
