Yes. Maybe saying he's shit is a bit much. He's certainly no St Vincent. But as you say the fixtures that England have had in the knockout stages have been very generous and if they hadn't have won all of those games the question of "is Southgate a shit manager?" Would be met with a resounding yes. As soon as they have come up against any real opposition they have crumbled. For me Southgate embodies a lot of what is wrong with the English game. This mentality of trying not to lose rather than going out to win is the absolute bane of English football. It's the main reason I don't like Eustace here. England have got a great squad and they will fall short because the man in the dugout is not a winner he is bang average at best. Mediocre as a player and mediocre as a manager. If he was announced as the next Rovers manager I wouldn't be too happy about it. Just to add: He's got Wharton, Bellingham and Kane. That's enough to win against anyone. -
It was usually 1 or 2 million either way. Some years in the black some in the red. The total debt was about 20 million. Those operating figures were unheard of at any other club than united and Liverpool. We were the only club other than them to turn a profit. As soon as venkys arrived the huge losses started and they continued until the fraud investigation got really underway.

Jesus Christ you're like a dog with a bone. That particular post in question was made days before you went out of your way to dislike it so you could have easily moved on. Either move on to the next post or try getting a sense of humour perhaps. All because I said Gareth Southgate is a shit manager. Talk about childish. -

One hundred percent. Although just add a caveat there, this was Chelsea pre Abramovich. -
But you get more of all of that in the Premier League. They did everything they could to get us out of that division as fast as possible and have scuttled an attempt to ever get back there so what you're saying is bollocks. As soon as they took over we immediately started losing circa 20 million a year. That's been pretty consistent for the last 14 years. Sometimes more sometimes less but the amount has been around that 15-20 million loss every year. I suspect that this club is nothing more than an accounting tool to them. The fact they are under investigation for fraud relating specifically to money they've been sending over here speaks volumes. I may be wrong of course but there's an awful lot of things pointing in a similar direction.

Think you're being a bit harsh there Tyrone. He had a really bad run after being thrown into a boiling cauldron when he wasn't ready. To expect a 24 year old with no experience in English football to replace Kaminski, a top level keeper is ridiculous. This is Venky Rovers though and what would be complete suicide at any other club is mandatory policy here. We nearly got relegated last season because the owners once again deliberately tried to relegate the club.

So you don't agree that Rovers are the greatest club in the world? You can always just scroll down the page you know. -

You could be proud back then that we were probably the best run club in the world.
