Ergo, he's been voted back in to do the same job he's always done. Mrs D is still the CEO.

[broadsword]

Henning Berg's talking about YOUTH TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the keaning premiership. D'oh!

[67splitscreen]

Does Pullis still not live almost next door to Arry.

[True Blue & White]

You know what I mean. The professional/televised/major leagues game, god must I have to spell everything out. Common sense lads

Yes but Berg isn't talking about them, he is talking about youth games (as many posters have already told you)

[Ralfinho]

Yes but Berg isn't talking about them, he is talking about youth games (as many posters have already told you)

So lets say it gets implemented into the youth system, and the players adapt to having 12 men on the pitch if they are 4 down. Then some of those players get thrust into the 1st team and it messes up their positional play as they feel like they are a man down..........see what I am getting at? Its a stupid suggestion is all I am saying. Why not when 5 down have 14 men on the pitch...it goes on and on and on!!!!

Balaji is the CEO

Mrs Desai is the Chairperson

[RevidgeBlue]

Stupid idea whether at youth team level or any other level.

However has no real bearing on whether he is the right man to be our next manager or not.

[Kelbo]

Balaji is the CEO

Mrs Desai is the Chairperson

Balaji is the Clown

Mrs Desai is the idiot

Corrected it!!

This is not Henning's suggestion. It's a suggestion made by the norwegian FA and berg has backed it. It's only for teams in the age 6-12 years and they don't even play 11vs11, they play 7vs7.

I guess daily mail "accidentally" forgot to write that.

Welcome to British media henning

Football has and should always be 11 v 11. Anyone wanting to change and go against the tradition of the game has to have a screw loose slightly!!

Well, that is patently not true. The modern day football is dominated by the 11-a-side game, but the 5-a-side indoor or beach version is very popular also.

Football used to be one half of a village against the other half, basically fighting over one or more footballs. It later resulted in spinoffs in the form of modern day football and rugby (+ I suppose gaelic and aussie rules football, and probably more). That it ended up being 11 vs 11 I would guess was an arbritrary number chosen by the preferences of the people setting up the general rules in the mid 1800s. And I suppose you could equally argue that setting that number was going against the traditions of the game at the time, likewise you could say that of the players being professionals rather than amateurs, or the introduction of substitutes, or the offside or back pass rules, or the eventual goal line technology.

My point is, football evolves. For better or for worse, I couldn't possibly tell.

just a thought , those who have said X manager wont get the job because he'll want full control of transfer's etc .... maybe Balaji and latterly Shebby got so fed up with Keans excuses's which INCLUDED the "its not my fault i never signed these players" that they now DO want a manager who is completely responsible

[beerwins]

If Berg got the job it would prove one thing to me........we could'nt attract a proper manager regardless of all the itk info.

[Blue n White Rover]

For those doubting the Maradona link. I suggest you find out where he was last week...

[braddock]

Is there an app for that?

[Madon]

Is there an app for that?

haha awesome post!

[True Blue & White]

Is there an app for that?

He was in India promoting some jewellery firm, pretending a camera lens was a gun and sticking his nose up the a*** of a football team he'd probably never heard of 24 hours previously....

Maradona would bring a new meaning to the term 'special one'...

Could it not be the fact he was in India is what has caused these stories rather than the other way round (i.e. Lazy Jounalism)

[ada2020]

So, has Redknapp been in yet?

[Blackpool_Rover]

Well it came from Nicko so probably! How many times has Nicko changed his mind in the last 4 weeks!?!?

[True Blue & White]

So, has Redknapp been in yet?

Apparently he got all the way to Milton Keynes before having a nose bleed and passing out mumbling something like 'too far North, too far North'.

[OJRovers]

Maradona spotted in Manchester...
