The Footie Thread

[PJ87]

That’s why the Premier League have taken it to the independent panel and why it’s different process to the UEFA Charges. It’s up to the independent panel to come up with the recommendations of any punishments - no appeal process , no legal fees etc

Will actually believe it when it comes .

Inject this straight into my veins. This is the culture Steve Cooper has built. Just build him a statue.

He’s done a great job but I’m not sure your great and historic club should be building him a statue maybe when he delivers another European cup

Is any club going to really ever going to go near him as a manager again ?

 

[Rlburnside]

It’s gone to an independent commission this time as opposed to the FA’s own panel

City have started the delay tactics already , the accusations of the head being bias because he is an Arsenal fan , trying to discredit how the evidence was gained ( as opposed to the actual evidence)

The delay worked with UEFA but won’t help with this investigation, there is no CAS as well, so it potentially could be a long process if City keep finding ways to delay it - which is surprising when you hear Pep wanting it sorted quickly

Thanks please keep me updated

We (Spurs) might! Our kinda guy!

Not a chance. Well, at least not until such time as Todd Boehly needs another interim manager to steady the ship.

We must have different definitions of "steady"...

The process is expected to take several years and involve thousands of hours of very expensive legal folk who won't be working for free. Who do you expect to pay for that? And while I have no love for City as a club, it seems totally reasonable to challenge the appointment of someone who openly states on a website that he's an Arsenal fan. I strongly suspect that a great deal of the evidence will be challenged, both in the tribunal and any subsequent court process, as having been obtained by illegal hacking!

Was slightly tongue-in-cheek but what he’s managed has been truly remarkable, given the set of circumstances

Manchester fans havent been squeaky clean respecting minutes silence in recent history neither. 2 wrongs certainly dont make a right.

Agreed. My point was why I'm conditioned to not like Leeds as a club. I'm sure some people feel the same way about Man U when our idiot fans have done similar.

He'll probably end up at Cardiff, Swansea or Wrexham. His record looks like a Welsh place name so he'll fit in well.

Good to see Sean Dyche being practical post match yesterday. He can have today off but then he, his assistants, DoF, tea lady, kit man need to be in on Tuesday working out who to move on, who to bring in, what style of play he wants for next year. Basically, a proper plan, a realistic plan. (One hint Sean, we can't rely on DCL being fit so a striker would be a good starting point )

You think you'll get Bamford or Vardy?

Ahhh Victory Monday. Sweeter than ever.

Yesterday at Villa Park was just immense, possibly the best it’s ever been.

If you can see the “AVFC the obsession” banner - the 3 guys in white going mental (specifically the tall one) is me and my mates having an absolute blast at FT

Unai Emery’s Claret and Blue Armyyyyyyyy

 

[Jensen]

I agree with @Lord Tyrion regards DCL. He’s a sick note and as bad as Darren Anderson

 

[Billysboots]

Rather ironic to see Lampard bemoaning the fall in standards at Chelsea. Any fan with a modicum of sense thought exactly the same the day he was appointed interim manager.

I think I interpret from your posts that, as a Villa fan, you are happy to play in Europe next season? Rather than avoiding Thursday night football and having a go again at climbing league.

Think Emery will relish it.

Well, Bamford could keep DCL company in the physio's room I suppose . Vardy is a busted flush and none of us want the Vardy 'package ' at our club thank you .

Hopefully, Dyche will buy more thoughtfully than previous managers.
