maxxi Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Mancini is already being courted by PSG and Marseilles. Whatever SAF said, and despite his own experiences, Moyes is already on borrowed time and will be out sharpish if he fails. Looking at coaches abroad and in US sports the sackings are pretty frequent and ruthless - football is now owned by large foreign companies and rich individuals who use the clubs as marketing tools and need success or the marketing to be effective.This is why idiots like Gold & Sullivan will keep BFS to try and ensure mid-table safety in perpetuity and forego any attempt EVER at anything more.

StraferJack Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Every billionaire "achievable target" is winning league and champions leagueOnly one team can win eachTherefore every year more and more managers wont reach their achievable targets. Fergie would have been set achievable targets 20 years ago and would have been sacked.

Jah Lush Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Agree with SJ and Otta. Mancini will be fine financially and probably walk into another top job. You can see Man City are already turning into the Chelsea of the north. I'm pretty sure Man Utd won't be far behind as well if Moyes fails as well.

Parkdrive Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Went to the game last night and feel huge sympathy for Wigan, they tried to play football the right until the end. Unlike anti football Stoke, I'd rather they'd gone down. It's interesting see how everyone in the media seems to have jumped on the Mancini character assassination band wagon. I don't recall the same condemantion being levelled at Fungusmoan when he was laying into players and officials with with his expletive laden tirades. Funny that eh?

El Pibe Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Whilst I totally agree with you in general terms MM, football isn't exactly the real world.At ?5 million odd a year top contracts are worth, I wouldn't give a toss if the grandees of football added the invention of perpetual motion in my contract, let alone winning the treble, I'm taking the role!!

The table doesn't lie.Your average score!? That's assuming a rare degree of consistency in 'the game' - what about if you had scored your lowest for all those weeks? It may well still work out the same - I can't be arsed to check - in which case I will content myself with scoffing at your tussle for fourth and Pebbles' scramble off the bottom and look forward to the CL Final. *I kicked RD's rear in the EDF fantasy league too! :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/584/#findComment-645275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
