And in 1990...low expectations after Euro 1988 and guess what, a semi final - but then they had Gazza in 1990 (and in 96 too)

Spoken like a true Sperz fan. He's been decent this eason and should have been on the stand by list.

Problem is, I don't think he has a conscience...

Or he lacks adequate man management skill, or financial acumen or both.

Odd, there doesn't seem to be any discussion on who is replacing Pepe Mel. Does anyone know anything about David Moyes, or Tim Sherwood? They seem quite decent fellers but have also failed at their respective clubs.


Perhaps I'd best get onto a Manchester and a North London forum to seek advice (yes I do know that there is a certain sense of irony before you lot all get excited)

Pepe Mel? A Peppermint could manage West Brom better. Good luck in your search. There's a lot of work to be done there.


I've said before that Levy is culpable. You can't keep sacking managers left right and centre. He reminds me of Mr Burns out of The Simpsons. We need stability at the club and we haven't had that during his reign as chairman.


Sherwood should get his coaching badges first before thinking of becoming a manager again though apparently Brighton have already expressed an interest in taking him on after parting company with Garcia.


I'd quite like Frank De Boer at the club but again he is someone who lacks Premiership experience and I'm fed up with flavour of the month managers. I think Mauricio Pochettino could be the one to get the job but again his "success" at Southampton was largely built on a squad of players that was already at the club. There is a good squad of players at Spurs, they just need the right man in charge who can work hand in glove with the chairman and DOF.|


Edited to say: I'd get rid of the Director Of Football as well. Wasted far too much money on too many foreign players untested in the Premier League.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
