Went down there for a business trip not so long ago. A well known whiskey and spirits distributor that wants to get into the China market. A long journey down from Lincolnshire. If you go to every home game, I take my hat off to you. Different Hook mate, I'm in east Yorkshire so only about an hours travel each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was appointed shortly after her, from roughly the same part of the world and they seemed particularly pally when sat together in the Directors' Box just before Jos officially got the job. Both are Doyen appointments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2000 Bayern Munich have been champions 14 times.............................competitive........................not really. Premier league is or has been Dominated by Man utd,Chelsea,Arsenal,Man City inbetween freak seasons like Blackburn and Leicester.............competitive to a point. Now if you look at who can win the Championship................well,take your pick,but to me its a dam sight more cempetitive than the leagues above.

adifferentgame Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 In fairness to Jos, one of the biggest reported problems at the club is the fact that bids are being turned down by Chansiri for players who aren't in his first team plans. That said, I don't think any of us will ever be willing to accept the brand of football he's showcased so far this season. Parking the bus just isn't the Wednesday way.

Bundesliga teams promoted and was quickly sacked/resigned the following seasons as the teams he got promoted were in relegation battles in their new league, he could never establish a foothold in the German 1st division. The EFL Championship is just as competitive as Bundesliga, nevermind 2. Bundesliga. How was hiring him as the manager of a team wanting promotion to the Premier league justified? If we were going for a foreign unknown manager, why would we go for somebody who's success is inconsistent and in an unequal league to that of our own? According to that Wiki link, he has got 3 teams promoted to German top league. Thats a failure and inconsistent???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that made me doubt Chansiri from the outset was not giving Stuey a chance with some money to spend. I think he could have constructed a competitive side with quarter of the money spawned in the last three or four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you reading a different Wikipedia article to everyone else? Borussia Mogungladbach: First full season promotion to top flight. Two months into season in top flight, sacked with team teambottom FC Augsburg: First full season in charge, play-offs. Second full season in charge, promotion to top flight. Third season lower mid-table in the Bundesliga Hertha Berlin: Record-beating Champions season getting promotion to top flight. Second season, mid-table in Bundesliga So in 3 promotions, his teams survived in the top tier with him in charge for the entirety of the season twice. How on Earth are you concluding his top-flight campaigns are failures if they surive two-thirds of the time? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Bundesliga is a one horse race every season with Dortmund guaranteed top3 as well. Least premier league has 4 or 5 teams capable of challenging. Sadly Dross needs to go as he is not the man for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition then yes,hate closed shop leagues,where's the fun in that,at least in championship there are more teams on a level palying field,not playing teams who have spent £600,£700 million on players or in Man Ciy's case a billion.
