We see it every year Pulis at Stoke probably did as well as anyone could but that wasn't enough, a few years back Pardew was building a good team at West Ham but the board undermined him with the Tevez deal breaking all the team spirit we'd built up in the 2 previous seasons and he was gone.
I'm not a fan of Steve Clarke, nasty spiteful footballer (saw him up close a few times) and miserable bastard with a face that could only inspire suicide, but he has done a half decent job at West Brom as they have a reputation as a yo-yo club.
The board claimed to have invested heavily but the £13m spent in the summer is only the 16th highest, and Newcastle had already done their spending in January.
I wonder what has-been failed manager they will end up with next?
Also worrying is mentions of us going back to the Zola/Clarke partnership? Watford's current form should see Zola sacked soon despite having his buddies in the boardroom, meaning it could happen and relegation would be confirmed soon after ... scary thought :(
Ooh, that was an unknown predicting skill :)
ReplyDeleteTold you AVB and Zola would be gone, and within 24 hours :)
