dallydally Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 We are being set up for one big disappointment mark my words. Carvahal was never a serious target for these jesters; we simply couldn't afford him/meet his demands. Enter stage left some plonker! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eire3382 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Ferguson at 4/11. If he is our manager then 4/11 on the we are a league 1 team in 12 months. Vs never learn. We really should only expect the worst from them and their employees. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we can’t afford him, can’t see him being on mega money at 2 middling Portuguese teams. His demands could be sticking point (ie staff) though it shouldn’t be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyJimmy Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 4 hours ago, Admiral Nelsen said: You can distinguish between them though. One involves still wanting (albeit at a much lower priority) to win the game using players that were signed because they thought they could do well for the club. The other scenario is deliberately losing to undermine the fairness of the competition. Teams get relegated all the time because their competitors are playing teams that are already on the beach. Every club has the concept of their "strongest team", that day they didn't play theirs, not even near it. It was so bad they lost to 10 men, so yes I maintain that there were several possible reasons for them making that choice. One "could" have been for corrupt betting. It wasn't of course but it can't be argued that not fielding your strongest team is OK under "all right" circumstances. What he did was NOT OK for any reason IMO. I maintain that what Wagner did was the coup de grace that got us relegated. Yes it was our fault we were in the relegation zone but we were set to escape until he cheated us out of it. Again IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part it just seems to be nobodies or ex players like Rebrov managing the teams. Obviously money talks but I'd like to think Carvalhal had a bit more about him than to just go there for the cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllRoverAsia Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 6 hours ago, Tricky said: bet you weren't back then A passage of play within a game is not quite same same cause and effect. I do however recall that I wasn't proud of it and would have been pissed off if another team got away with that against us. There is enough lying, cheating and being just a fecking twat in football without deliberately adding to the dung heap. Play hard, play fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day I believe that, imo, there was collusion between the club's and if the Spurs Spiv was involved that means money, again imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
