Well, the Braintree Town supporters club is currently in talks with Jose. Having saved us from relegation two seasons ago, he is a suitable replacement for club legend Brad Quinton. Jose will have his work cut out though. We have a decent mid-table National League South squad and no money. Hmmm, that gives me an idea...

I agree with your assessment of Paul Pogba.

Best wishes,
Steve

Does Brad have a new job yet? If not, is he prepared to hang on? I hear that there will be a vacancy in North London in the summer.... [:(]

What a nightmare for Daniel Levy and the board. A brand new, state of the art, 62,000 capacity stadium (when finished) which has to be paid for - and no manager and a team that will leave en masse if Poch goes.

Oh well as a Spurs fan I was always waiting for it all to go wrong. At least we'll have the biggest stadium in the Championship in 2020/21 [:)].

Is Maurichio Pochettino favourite for the Man U job?

Best wishes,
Steve

By some margin - it is no secret Manchester United really want the man as their next manager.

[warspite1]

Association Football. I've never ever wavered from my fundamental belief that this is the beautiful game.

[warspite1]

The draw for the Carabao Cup has been made and..... really???

Last year
Arsenal vs Chelsea
Manchester City vs Bristol City

This year
Spurs vs Chelsea
Manchester City vs Burton Albion

Another tough game ahead for Guardiola [8|]

...to the point they've gagged the journalists from bringing up the subject at press conferences. Not surprised though. It's the same bloody questions over an over. Whether Poch has decided to go or not he's not going to discuss it now when the season is at such a critical stage and he has a job to do.

How do they do the draw? Looks a bit suspicious to me.

Lolz [:)]. No the draw is live on TV and I don't think for one moment its rigged. For a Spurs or Chelsea fan it's just annoying.

[TulliusDetritus]

And they appoint old United player Ole Gunnar Solskjær as coach.

At least this one should be a pure coach, as opposed to the fired personage, who was in fact a [master] psychologist and propagandist. His true assets that have little to do with football per se.

The beast is unleashed (read, creativity) and Ole's horde scores 5 goals. Which never happened since Ferguson left.

Ah the human creativity and freedom...

More of this, Ole.

Great professionalism from the United players [&:] - get the manager the sack by not bothering - and then turn it on when a new man is appointed. Imagine if the general public did that in their jobs.....[8|]

Personally I hope the Norwegian is a MASSIVE success (except when they play Spurs) so that the board decide to keep him and leave Poch alone [:)]

On a brighter note - good times for Liverpool it seems, and Man City's defeat yesterday didn't hurt did it?

Not at all a bad weekend, however I still recall us leading the league untill the end and then stumble, so I am not happy untill the season is over [;)]

This could be Liverpool's year

Still, good football (if Ole is capable of delivering it almost every week in the first place) does not automatically earn you titles. Just like the agricultural football proposals of you know who have been failing.

Just some fesh air and more watchable football. Imagine a world in which every team parked the bus [:D] The horror...

Fingers crossed [:)]

But to me the revival of Utd speaks lots about Mourinhos failure to get the support of his players. Ole uses the same players as were available to Mourinho after all.

Now ofc you could argue that the players should be giving it their best no matter who is in charge, but seems Mourinho fails to keep his stars happy year after year no matter what club.

I think it is too early to talk for certain about a revival - it was Cardiff City after all - but yes there is the inevitable question of whether Mourinho caused the problems with the players. And given what happened at Real, Chelsea the second time, and Man Utd, then its obvious he's not blameless. My point though is that the players are still (supposedly) professionals and (most definitely) receive obscene amounts of money to do a job. Whether they like the manager or not should not be a reason they have the option to simply down tools. That is disrespectful, and cheats, the fans who follow the club all over the world.
