Some will say because Murty has failed we should never touch a youth coach when there has been success elsewhere. Every top manager has been given a break at some point. Mourinho effectively started out as an interpreter at Barca.... didn't do him too much harm. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for the most part it has. Not sure where or why SBS says differently. We had Gilmour recently who was wanted by every EPL side plus some other European clubs including Barcelona. The kid was with us since a very early age. Just because he never broke through at Rangers doesn't say he wouldn't have had he stayed. The kid was developed by Rangers and wanted by global powerhouses - that suggests that there is much good happening at the youth development level within the club. And, yes, this is just one example - the club also have other youths who are very highly thought of too. One thing which often gets lost in this whole "youth development" debate is the UEFA 90 minute rule - we are curtailed in just how far we can spread the net for youths - to sign a youth without the 90 minute rule they need to be "of age" - they need to be 16 to be able to travel by themselves and play for the club. Younger than that and they need a parent - the big clubs down south get round it by "employing" their parents, moving whole families to within the catchment area. Doesn't sit with the "agenda" for some though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just silly. Newcastle are in 10th place in the EPL. Even Ashley wouldn't want rid of him. If it was true then I would suggest quite the opposite to what you have. Ashley wouldn't want rid of Benitez because Benitez has done a fantastic job in keeping Newcastle up, let alone in the top half. The Newcastle fans would go even more ballistic at Ashley if he got rid of Benitez. You seem to be linking anything Ashley has ever touched his hands on and suggesting that this means he is controlling things. Sometimes things aren't actually there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Ashely just like magic got up and walked out. like Hummel outlet is Sportdirect 1 letter from sportsdirect and then we all of a sudden got Benitez. A hell of a lot of coincidences there nearer the hundred. 1. Ashley didn't just walk out 2. Sportdirect is not necessarily sportsdirect 3. Benitez is only a rumour Deary me - no, you are much closer to the 100 than you like to think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

917 191 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Neil Warnock is far and away the best manager mentioned so far, he has got results everywhere he has gone. And he has gone to a lot of clubs. Can’t see him ditching Cardiff though, but he never sticks around anywhere long though. Would certainly give Rogers something to think about next season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
