(Perhaps you could remind that E/S that i have him on ignore so unless i have the misfortune of someone quoting him i don't see anymore of his boorish anti semitic bile. Thanks.) It's funny but my recollection is that Carmine has always maintained that Pep's success is just based on money. Anyway I'm happy to read he does rate Pep as a top manager and he does rate Silva as a world class player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the ale has addled the Citeh brains or possibly the air is a tad thin up there so I had best remind mrboj and his henchmen that I was praising Pep's style of play earlier in the season and am still enjoying watching them. All I said was he will need to up his game tactically in the last stages of the CL. Best of luck to them as when you enter the astronomic spending area the only real measure of value in terms of kudos is winning that competition.

They have selective memories or something akin to that. or maybe they are starting their own ferguson style psychology that he embedded at United with all that ABU crap? Sane, btw gets my nod as YPoY. No doubt they'll have forgotten i posted that too in a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, though maybe i'm getting you mixed up with your altar ego Alfie, but I'm convinced one of you - I'm pretty sure it was you - were of the opinion that Pep's success was based on having money to buy top players and he couldn't do it at a lesser club. Seems that you now accept he is a top manager; I'm pleased for you. I agree with your choice of Sane; he'd get my nod to. Won't forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets more and more difficult to do it at a club with fewer resources with every passing year. Simple fact so I doubt anyone will repeat the Leicester experience in the next 25 years.

Bredbury Blue Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Like you I doubt anyone will do a Leicester anytime soon. I think they may have benifited from the top teams being in a transition period (none were that strong that season) but mostly they showed what a 'TEAM' of players working for each other can achieve together. Awesome achievement by Leicester. (They reminded me of Cloughie's great Forest teams). Edited March 30, 2018 by Bredbury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Let me explain something to you which may give a better perspective on why football is rapidly changing. I am a One Hotspur Bronze card holder for which I pay 60 quid a year. This entitles me to a 24 hr window above other supporters when buying tickets for any game. This season is an anomaly of course with around 30-40k tickets freely available for most of our home games so if I call for a home Premiership match in that 24 hr period the chances are good that I will get at least one ticket. Now forward to the FA Cup semi-final and there are less tickets. I was unable to get on the phone that day due to work commitments so missed out. An email arrives in my box a few days later asking if I want to avail myself of the VIP service for this game so I enquired. Its 265 quid plus VAT (20%) for a seat and that does not include any food and drink. Welcome to the future of Premiership football and its not a pleasant one unless you have a lot of wonga. It will happen next at Chelsea and is already on the cards at WHL....City will follow eventually and I am talking about what percentage of those seats clubs think they can get away with. Read the last line again in case you missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Thought McTominay was going to play for jockland.

RickG16 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Sterling is 24 - young in the grand scheme of things, but not sure he would qualify for any young player of the year awards? If 24 is OK then Harry Kane has to get it. Of the younger players maybe even Calvert Lewin at Everton? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
