Football League Thread - Season 2018/22

[Parksey]

Yeah, as a potential rival, I would rather you had the unknown quantity in Henry than Bruce. Has there been a time when appointing a famous player in their first job has worked?

Apart from when we appointed Bryan Robson and got promoted, obvs as we're great and you're all gooseberry fool.

Alan Shearer at Newcastle.

It didn’t work for them but everyone else loved it.

Roy Keane got us promoted first go, took over a bottom of the league shambles and won the championship. Kept us up the next year too. Okay, he did spend a fortune keeping us there but still.

Look at that, you can tell he was the player-manager. Half and half, bloody marvellous.

It's great, because if he dropped a player, he could sit behind his desk and everyone would just think he was wearing a suit and he could have difficult managerial conversations like : "I'm sorry son, you aren't playing today". And the player can say, "What?! Really? Who's playing ahead of gaffer?" and then Robbo stands up, moves away from the desk and says "I bloody am" then grabs some fags and a pint and runs off to play centre mid.

[Moggy]

He was so good that he didn’t need boots.

[Parksey]

Wearing football boots during a manager unveiling? He didn't want to look bloody ridiculous, Moggy. He wasn't a full kit wanker or John Terry.

It really is. Amazing.

Villa using us as a model fo next season, getting Mendes to help with transfers and such... Hope theyll be reporting themselves to the fa/efl

[Oblomov Boblomov]

The season starts in two days how the strawberry float has that happened?!

I know! I was wondering this morning when the first games were and then realised it’s this weekend.

At this rate it’ll only feel like a few weeks until Villa are relegated.

[more heat than light]

I really like the West Brom kit but the sponsor absolutely ruins it. I think that list is pretty accurate really, our kit is gash.
