Just seems weird that a fit sports person would suddenly drop dead with a heart problem that's all...unless it was seriously un-noticed by team docs...

Just been watching some of the sports video interviews on the beeb, I still question how the helll people become footy managers with their level of intelligence.
Southampton manger wigley is asked: ' what do southampton have to do to beat arsenal this weekend' his response.....'play well'.
what a strategy, i couldnt have thought that one up, no wonder im not a footy manager.

I have to say that I am surprised by his decision to go, the man is maroon through and through. And Leicester, for Fox ache? (geddit, Foxes?) Even if he does get them to the Premiership he can kiss European football goodbye.

There should be some sort of claus that states a manager cannot leave mid season, or at least a HEAVY financial penelty, we are currently involved in Europe for **** sakes. Now we're getting some Russian git in charge.
Do you think that John Robertson would be a good replacment? He'd be popular with the fans but would he be up for the job?

Re: British Football thread
Just found this on one of the gossip mailouts I receive (holymoly.co.uk)
So it is 1-nil to the Arsenal on dressing room fracas.
Cesc Fabregas threw the food.
Van Nistelrooy went into the Arsenal dressing room after the game going ape winding up the Gooners after last year's events.
Wenger called him a "F****** horseface cheat" and told him to get out.
Ruud went for Wenger, Edu stepped in and hit him, prompting security guards to pile in.
Arsenal's kitman was hit by the guards and got a broken nose (he wants to pursue an assault charge but Arsenal don't want him to).
Ferguson then came in and poked his walnut-nose in, ranting at the Arsenal players.
They told him to f*** off, he grabbed Fabregas who responded in kind.
Man Utd don't want any comebacks as Horseface started it and their stewards were out of order.
Ferguson also knows he shouldn't have gone into the changing room.
If Man Utd complain the kitman will pursue his claim, so expect it to be quietly buried.

Think I will stick to coaching U-10s, they seem so much more adult then the overpaid prem ponces.
