Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted April 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2018 It's funny looking back and being in awe of the Serie A and the abundance of star power on show. The world's best playing week in week out. Players were turning England down to go there, Blomqvist for example. Then the money shifted (apart from a few clubs) and the standard of Italian football slid down a cliff face. Now also seen in their national team.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2018 I remember watching the Channel 4 stuff and playing Championship Manager Italia on the Amiga at the same time. Absolutely brilliant times. What a team Sampdoria had. I'll be getting that watched. Thanks for posting. Here's the old Channel 4 Italia theme song for anybody..

Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2018 Sampdoria had an insatiable team in the 90s, looking back I wonder how they managed to have the players of the level they had during the decade considering they weren't the biggest team. Vialli, Lombardo, Mancini, Pagliuca, Gullit, David 'The Forehead' Platt, Mihajlovic, Chiesa, Seedorf, Veron. Then again, you always had several Italian teams with that kind of quality at any one time during the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2018 The king is dead, long live the king http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43183688 I'm sure he'll have a job in the PLÂ again after Xmas when another shit club sacks their manager and turns to one of the 'good ol solid British managers'.

The Maestro Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think it's the last time we'll see The King in the top flight for a while. I can see him getting his next gig in the Championship, taking whatever team he's in charge off to the cusp of the playoffs all for it to implode spectacularly after a 12 match losing streak.

Mr_Danger Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yeah me too. Thing is with the money knocking about at some of these Championship clubs I can see more and more Pardew, Pulis, Hodgson type managers slipping down. I'd happily see a changing of the guard with the dinosaurs fucking off for a bit and the likes of Jokanovic, Nuno and Rowett having a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoUseforaUsername Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Derby drop Richard "The Bottler" Keogh. Derby win and keep clean sheet. Coincidence? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2018 I bet it'll be a "Director of Football" job for Pardew somewhere, then the manager gets frustrated and then Pardew pops in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Pardew for Ipswich? McCarthy is on his way at the end of the season. Looks like a decent fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 He always had a limited shelf life when he went somewhere, but it was that initial honeymoon period where things really seemed to click for him that kept getting him jobs. The stint at West Brom has exposed him as a total shitarse from day one. The sad part is that it won't be long until all the Pulis Truthers come storming out saying "I told you this would happen!" As if there's a binary choice between Pulisball=Staying up and Anything Else=Going Down. The "Anything Else" part didn't have to be Pardew.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted April 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2018 Albion may have to look outside the box, because who in their right mind would go there now? If (when, I'm praying) Wolves go up, the only thing that could make the season any better now is the total collapse of Albion, hopefully getting less than 25 points, Stoke going down with their Champions League Elite manager at the helm and touch wood Villa fucking up the play offs.
