TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Doesn't this thread point to how amazing a manager Blanky Blank is? Got him at the right time, got rid at the right time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 I'll begrudgingly say he's a good manager, but everyone bone in my body just says 'I don't like him'. I hate his blind eye remarks during games, how he'll see Bob on the opposite team tickle one of his strikers, yet 'I did not see it' when one of his players kicks the opposition in the face right in front of him in the dug out - for example. His transfers have been outstanding, as has his utilization of the players he brings in. The only thing I don't like is the amount of foreign players he's brought into the game, I mean its been great for the Premier League but poor for English Football.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Oh, that's a debate and a half. It pains me so much to watch our national team do so poorly. Can you imagine Brazil or Argentina losing the qualifying group we've just had? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Although don't name drop blank, there's still a 'manager's round to pick!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cr7 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 I can think of a few blank signings that could fit in easily with the type of football I want my 11 to play. Although not one of them would be English, which isn't surprising considering blank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Henry's season with Barca illustrates my flop point perfectly. Led them in goals, but watch the matches, and he was a pile of ass. It was an odd season, he played like he just didn't care, yet still did ok. I mean, if we didn't know him from the Premier League he would have just looked like the 'average' Barca player. Though, this season Barca have been poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Oh didn't realize there was a manager to pick as well. Hmm... *strokes beard and ponders* is that the last pick? Yeah, I think we should leave it until the very last round, or we could pick them whenever we want? I mean, more chance of getting a world class manager in round 4 than round 14. It just depends on how everybody wants to do this really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Right, i'm going away for a couple of days tomorrow, I've got a pick to post on Mysterio Eskimo's behalf, is anybody going to be around at 11am when his pick is eligible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 11am UK time tomorrow? If so I'll be on before work (and during) I'd just like to name drop one more guy.... If Newcastle really had signed him, we might have won the cup Just realised that's Robot Wars turned Live5 turned commentator for everything Jonathan Pearce. This was BEFORE he became a commentator too, probably around 96/97, so maybe just as he did Robot Wars. Odd! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cr7 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 I'd say managers can be picked whenever, it's not high on my list but for some it might be. Did we really need to blank out The Wally with a Brolly ? If anyone dared to pick him, they should be disqualified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 My pick is Italy's most capped player, a one club man with (I think) 24 seasons of Serie A football behind him. Paulo Maldini. While he's played centre half in recent years, I'm selecting him in his traditional position at left back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
