Why would he move? Hes nothing to prove, his record in Europe and the Premiership is second to none and there are few clubs with as much money to spend and as much history and prestige in the game. Your argument is staggeringly poor. Its like saying Busby was not a legend, or Shankly. Aberdeen..those giants of Europe :rofl: I am sure if there was a list of top 5 managers in the world, Fergie won't be on there |

You seem to underestimate how staggering it was that he broke the longstanding duopoly* of scottish football. That at a time when Scotland were off to the world cup and England werent.

Bollocks.....I know you are being a partizan here, but what do I care about Scotland? I know about the usual 2 horse race in Scotland more than you can imagine, and am talking way before the Erik Laarson (with dreds) era
His achievement at an unfancied Aberdeen is at least as impressive as Mourino taking perennial Portuguese league winners Porto to a league and European double. Anyway, you are entitled to your deluded opinion, Im done arguing. |

You are wrong, but that wont be a surprise to your regular readers:lol:
Am sure your regular readers picked up on your post that had "Tallent" and "Loosing" in the same post :D iaink Quote: Originally Posted by cheeky_monkey At least he's English..im still waiting for a team to put together an all English side..aka athletic Bilbao in Spain Arent Bilbao essentially all Basque, so even more locally focussed.

No owner is going to risk loosing the EPL TV money for the sake of an all English team, or even an all British one. Thats modern footy sadly. |

Poor Liverpool missing out on Dempsey at the 11th hour AND getting to keep Henderson :thumbdown:
I'm also surprised to see NUFC getting through the day, so far, intact. Any news on the street to say otherwise? |

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
It seems like we've survived intact. Excellent. Although Ryan Taylor is crocked for months.
We appear to have Bordeaux, Brugge and some team from Madeira in the Europa league. I know nothing about any of them. We're doomed. |
