"Playing out from the back, De Zerbian progression, controlling the tempo to invite the press in a possession based system that uses a ball playing GK" you say. Finding a manager that does that these days must be a rare trial - rare as hen's teeth! :lolol:

I wonder how close Leonard (one of the best players on League1 this season) was to a surprise call up?

We were pretty quick getting Houghton in after we sacked Hughton then. Shame he only lasted a day - might have been brilliant given a bit more time!

Good for him. Happy (and long) retirement, Mr. Ranieri.

Had a quick think about this. Quick conclusion - I really don't care if he does or not. :shrug:

No. Bit of a show-pony these days. No substance. Quits when the going gets slightly bumpy.

Bloody stupid. If Boehly hadn't lost his nerve they could have kept Potter and saved a mint of money - given a pre-season and the influx of absolute quality like Caicedo and Palmer Potter would have done just the same, progress -wise, as Poch, and probably finished the league in about the same...

Plenty of places where it's illegal to feed the pigeons now. Trafalgar Square and London railway termini for example.

So he's coming to us then?

Wouldn't be my first choice - but then again, it's not my choice that matters anyway, is it? Could do worse...............

Without the sales we could probably still have found the money for Pedro, Estupinan or Barco (as back up/competition for Cucu), maybe one of Igor or Baleba. Wouldn't have needed to spend £20M on Verbruggen. Could have bettered top six, of that I would be certain. Like many others, I think the...

He won't be feeling the pinch for a while yet, unless he's got an expensive habit, gambling, for instance (not saying he has, but unless he has been throwing money down the drain one way or another he won't be worried about paying the leccie bill for a while. So, I'd quibble with your use of the...
