I agree with him on that Silva bloke in charge at Everton.
Biggest fraud in the league.
Silva has been a big let down since he almost done an Allardyce and kept them in the league.
Allardyce get found out after he's done putting out fires.
The guy is a fool and he doesn't see how the game has evolved in the slightest. His comments about Busquets being no different to Eric Dier were the ramblings of a mad man.
He's just a xenophobic idiot and you could just imagine the conversations that go on with him Keys and Gray when the cameras go off.
All true but is that any different to NW?Quote:

"Allardyce slams the influence of foreign coaches".......he says whilst getting paid a fortune to work on a foreign sports channel.
"xenophobic" ?? At least he doesn't wet his pants like the rest of the media about the 'luigi's and Pietro's' of this footballing world. Watching Man. City play football is the closest thing to pure boredom as you can get. 'Evolved' ? no.Quote:

I reckon these were the reasons BLUETIT had in mind :hehe:
Having lived in Manchester for a number of years, a lot of their fans wanted to get pissed in the pub instead of going to the game. That and a lot of them preferred being shit. Also, Man City's fanbase isn't the biggest. Their tickets are often dirt cheap, it's a complete myth that "proper Mancs" support Man City, a lot of their fans are from Stockport anyway.Quote:

Thought it was the type of thing only I’d notice out of the two of us. Seems 100% Man City where my family live, Didsbury, Burnage and, as you say, Stockport area. I’ve been going up since 1967 and in my experience it’s definitely a Man City town, unless Man United fans are a bit embarrassed by the whole plastic thing. Did speak to a Man United fan on holiday a while ago and his view was that the club didn’t want the likes of him anymore, they were geared up to coaches coming up from Gloucester, Nuneaton etc and making a full day of it, spending in the club superstore, buying all sorts of tat, then two weeks later coaches from the likes of Maidstone, Worcester etc doing the same thing, he was very bitter. F^ck Man United anyway........& Liverpool 👍Quote:

Why do you think foreign managers are generally more successful?Quote:

I think it probably has its roots in the difference at youth level, where in other countries there used to be a lot more emphasis on developing the players whereas here it was all about winning, so teams would just pick the biggest kids and lump it forward.
He seems bitter.
That said, England is a very faddy place, which is good in the sense that they are open to foreign imports but I think they can get carried away with the latest new thing without understanding whether or not it’s any good.
When he talks about foreign people bringing up their kids better than English people, I wonder what he’s referring to? Diet? Socialising? Knowing how to drink without turning into a chump? Wearing the appropriate clothes for different weather conditions?
My mate has a theory that in the UK, football is predominantly a working class game while abroad, it is a game for all walks of life, so managers abroad often have better educations, smarter etc.Quote:

Also, culturally British football fans like to see tackles and battles, whereas abroad this isn't as common.
I think education is seeing differently amongst the work class abroad too. In school here anyone doing well or trying gets a load of shit from their mates. In Europe at least it seems much more acceptable to work hard and get a decent education.
Man City are a joy to watch and look like they can score every time they go forward...which they usually do judging by the amount they’ve scored this season.Quote:

I do think the tide is turning though. There is far more thought going into the development of footballers than there was 15 years ago.
Little children are encouraged to stay on the ball and dribble to give them a foundation and winning is now becoming secondary. It's interesting that only recently (beginning with Arsenal I believe) has strength and conditioning been given any credence at academy levels.
The fact that dinosaurs like Sam Allardyce and co are now getting frozen out highlights this. It's not enough to rant and show pashun anymore and players expect more.
I listened to a good podcast by Guillem Balague about Bielsa the other day and it was interesting that he was interviewing Adam Forshaw and Forshaw said he had no intention of going into management until he worked under Bielsa now he's seen what it can be he wants to give it a go.

Kids going to Germany and experiencing different cultures can only be good for our game and can only further the game in this country.
For all the faults of the model that Chelsea and man city are running, they are at least taking youth coaching really seriously, and investigating a lot in the process.Quote:
