yep, and Cisse has been a bargain for Newcastle. So fuck what DC says, he's shit at his job.Jelavic was available, we were linked with him and he's scored more than Andy Carroll (I don't know if that bit is actually true)

Aaah, you must be one of those "microwave generation" folk. Didn't you know everything was fine?
Is it ?
This goes back to what I said last week, process v. results.
People judge Rafa as a tactical genius because of the CL win. If we'd lost a penalty shoot out you wouldn't have anything to back up the assertion - and to insist he's a tactical genius is to ignore the fact that his genius tactics had us three down in the Final. It was forced decision making that rectified things. On the flip side if Chelsea had won a penalty shoot out Avram Grant would have won them a CL, something the best manager in the world ever never managed to do at Chelsea.
Literally the only difference between then and now is Steven Gerrard wasn't completely fucking shite back in 2005. People have no idea how to rate managers, mainly because you don't take into account all of the relevant factors. They assume that if a club does well it's because the manager is doing really well - which is quite often simply not the case.
It's just lose a game - manager got his tactics wrong. Won - manager got it right. Simplistic bollocks which is typical of football.
Tactics is just like card counting in poker, it marginally shifts the odds in your favour but more often than not the best hand is still going to win. We should be focusing on putting together the best hand that we can, not marginal bollocks like tactics.
who's said everything is fine?
I didn't want him as manager as I felt he'd been out the game too long .
It was his form with Celtic and Newcastle that worried me Richey.
Max 21 pts still to play for. Anyone figure we'll get to 60 pt end of season?
It's easier to manage when you have the best team in the country. Ask Avram Grant what the difference is between Chelsea and West HamFair enough, but even that was some time ago now. Does someone just lose the ability to be a good manager over the years? Or was he not really that good the first time around?

God, I hope that isn't it. I want Kenny to pull this around and walk out on top.
Okay, I'll ask again: what does Steve Clarke actually do? Lots of people seemed to know, and value, what Pako did. So what does Clarke do?
I'd be more worried about going down then catching the teams infront of us. Thats my biggest worry as impossible as it sounds. But when you pick up 8 points from the last 33 and lose every game you play its cause for concern.
Our league form is a scandal. I think everyone else but Kenny would have been gone.
Then he's a problem.Reina isnt a problem, he's just not motivated.
Depends which club they were at, to be fairIf another manager had a track record of success like Kenny has do you not think they would be given more time?

True but i meant that he's still a great keeper. Though I do understand why he isn't motivated.Reina isnt a problem, he's just not motivated.
