Tyrone Shoelaces

“ The Guardian “ is going with Kompany to Bayern tomorrow. A done deal apparently. Big bucks compensation. No other occupation rewards failure like the football industry.

My advice to the throw in think tank - Throw the bloody ball in asap and stop inching up the touchline trying to gain ground.

Not a chance, unless he gets injured or his head goes.

The whole set up at Old Trafford is rotten. It’s gotten so big it can’t be controlled. Name me a manager who could be successful there ?

Something appears to be afoot at the dingledome. And no, it’s not 12”.

Nice to hear Howard’s voice again. What about that pitch ! I’ve played on worse but not many though.

What did Gary Neville say ?

The problems there are beyond any manager. It’s like Rovers writ large.

“ Bought ?” I think you mean stolen. Make the most of the next season, he’ll be on his way this time next year.

Time to join the throng then. I have a couple of rain top style jackets by “ North Face “ . Not bad quality and not bad price, TKMaxx again. We went down to London for a few days with some friends years ago and as I was transferring my clothes from my suitcase into the wardrobe my mate came in. He said “ Tyrone, you’ve brought more jackets down to London than I’ve actually got in the world ! “ Mrs Shoelaces has me on a strict diet nowadays - “ 1 jacket in, 1 jacket out ! “

She needs a hole in her head.

Steve Kean ?

I gave him the benefit of the doubt regarding the relegation. I thought he did ok to get us promoted with the best squad in the league. I wasn’t best pleased when he racked our cue and let Wigan win the league. However he lost me in the immediate aftermath of promotion when he decided we didn’t need any high profile signings, just a few bodies to help the existing team out. After that I’d no confidence in him ever taking us to the next level. He made more bad signings than good and I was relieved when he left. I would have fired him years before then. Having said that we’ve had worse managers and I wish him well in his return to full health and a return to management. Some things are more important than football. As Klopp once said “ Football is the most important of the least important things in life “.

Is he a Brighton fan ?

I don’t trust the Daily Mail full stop.

Better than Johnny Byrne ?

Kompany to Brighton ?

What about that one against Watford ? That needed some scoring, on hie “ weaker “ foot as well.

I was going to phone the club and recommend you for the DOF role but they probably couldn’t afford to match your wages Chaddy.

I’m not having that Jim, even the dogs in the street know the purchase price was whatever Palace decided to offer us.
