[mancboy]

He already is a knight of this realm. Google it.

i did , it says he has an mbe, but i meant why would he want to be a sir in this country with the titles he already has in his own

Google is wrong! He didn’t choose, it was a diplomatic move.

Obe mbe handed out to every man and his dog. 95 percent of them you never have heard of.

Google is wrong!

then why did you tell me to google it lol

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Probably appropriate for the 2nd best manager we have had. Sir Bobby Robson was called a failure too, its what this country does.

I’ve just googled it. From Google:
Mansour was joined in receiving a knighthood by Demis Hassabis, founder of artificial intelligence company DeepMind, and by film-making couple Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, who will receive a knighthood and a damehood. American businessman Ted Sarandos, the co-chief of Netflix, was given an honorary knighthood.2

I'm more a stats person. He's achieved more, which for me has been brilliant having seen so many managers not get us to those finals. It's been a frustrating 50 years as an England fan for me.

An utter disgrace when we should have had Sir Big Fat Sam.

The world is cockeyed when BFS is completely overlooked!

FFS it was a tongue in cheek. It was banter about Trumps nonsense.

 

[give it to gordon]

I said in the other thread
Rewarded for being to scared to lose a match and not brave enough to try and win a match.

He can't manage at the top level, that being the pl. International football is championship standard at best. So an award to being a championship standard manager bloody hell
