How Green Is That Grass....?

Blackburn announce Henning Berg as their new manager and Ipswich have just announced Mick McCarthy as theirs....


How does that compare to DF? We pleased?

Has it increased their chances of topping us?

Allardyce was a master of not picking players based on sentiment. He picked them on there contribution. Someone who "just" scores goals, isnt a contributor

MT, I see you are still persevering with the old BB10 line. Whatever turns you on I guess. As for Managers, I think all the 2 Lancashire and 1 Greater Manchester B clubs (you started it) are into the great unknown. All 3 have gone for basically untried managers with not much to choose between Dyche and Freedman. Both limited experience with average Champs teams. Palace look good this season so Freedman must fancy his chances of winning promotion, otherwise why leave CP.
Burnley have no money but no debts and SD will have to work with what hes got. Austin is on fire and will be sold in January and the defence is dire. Mid table at best.
As for the Chicken Farmers, it is obvious that whoever is Manager is irrelevant as the problem lies with the owners. Venkys running a football club is a bit like me becoming a brain surgeon. Berg inherits team in 5th position and should have no problem getting to the play offs at least, however if he fails.......then what.

Interesting times ahead for the 3 B`s

=========================================

That depends on how many they "just" score, surely?

If N'gog suddenly hit form and "just" scored 35 goals this season but never tackled anybody or did anything else he'd have to be in the team every week wouldn't he?

MT, Forgot to ask, now that Lennie Lawrence is on his way, when does the Palace club cat arrive ?

Maybe that's what N'Gog is doing wrong.

Cut out all that running about aimlessly lark and stick to putting em in.

Didn't do Gary Lineker any harm...

My favorite football commentary was when Linekar scored for England at the back post - "Linekar... arriving now!" Class

Apoligies FC, no harm was meant with that comment... I was talking to a Blackburn fan & there are worse things to have said!!

I'm just hoping Freedman doesn't have a fat brother in law who washes kit!!!

No problem MT. I think DF and SD will be ok. The Chicken Berger is a huge gamble IMO. I will be surprised if any of the 3 teams are promoted or relegated.

He somehow got his own thread on here at one point?
