The English Football Thread

Just seen some reports that the owner of newly-promoted Leicester is planning to invest 180m in the team and make them a contender for European football qualification.

Maybe we could convince them to buy Torres, that signing could work as a statement of intent for them.

Tim nice but Dim has left Spurs.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Oh I'll miss Tim. Absolute braindead man but a good laugh. Was the kind of guy who would have dropped Ledley King from the starting XI for his own testimonial

Say what you say about Sherwood but the fact remains he's the Spurs manager with the highest PL win% in the history of their whole club and the way he was treated was a disgrace. The board and the players never even gave him a chance.

Will probably do well somewhere else. His football is not so pleasing to watch but at least with Tottenham he got the results and also promoted youth players so I'm sure there's some club in the PL willing to try their luck with him. West Ham maybe after they've sacked Big Sam?

[Madmax 9,219]

Frank de Boer to come in?

[gary gordon 1,777]

Sherwood sacked. The yids change managers like Ibra changes teams..

Put it this way, he's definitely in for a new gig before Moyes..

Moyes for Spurs?

[gary gordon 1,777]

Moyes for Spurs?

We can only hope..

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Aww I liked him.seemed fun

[Special Juan 27,429]

Pochetino to Spurs, Moyes to Saints?

Ya never know.

Ya never know.

Saints deserve better than that...

Moyes would be perfect for West Brom. Small Budget, expect to finish 10th to 15th, some quality youngsters and a decent overall squad..

If Sherwood's name ended in a vowel then he wouldn't have been sacked. Spurs have this obsession with hiring non-British managers, ignoring the fact that their the overwhelming majority of their foreign appointments of late (Santini, Ramos, Villas-Boas) have been completely useless. There's nobody else a club like Spurs can hope to attract who will actually do significantly better than Sherwood did this season (bear in mind he also did not make any signings and used Villas-Boas' donkeys throughout), so basically he has lost his job because he isn't a sophisticated continental 3-4-3 playing tactics wanker. It's discrimination.

Didn't Ramos win them their only trophy in whatever-the-fuck-long-it-is-now?

A League Cup is surely outweighed by Ramos' performance in the 2008-09 season, where Spurs won two from their first twelve matches and were bottom of the Premier League until he was sacked. If he had held onto the job for a few more months they probably would have went down.

Well there's no way anyone can say that with any certainty, is there?

Moyes has to stay in PL. We will need some good laughs next season too!
