Zidane doesn't speak much English but suppose they'll keep umbrella as assistant

The Dutch guy?

 

[JRockBlues]

He won’t come to England and for sure not a shit show in Trafford

Thought the major reason he didn't come last time his name was mentioned was that he was waiting for the French national team's job. I'm sure I read it in a paper somewhere. That worked out well for him.

Some of us FOCs will remember Gary Birtles flopping like fuck there after playing for Forest, but OMG this new Haaland kid hasn't scored a Premier league goal yet for £72m and it's almost christmas.
The world as turned soft

Nothing mentioned, quietly under the radar like Sancho or their ‘minor’ failure of FFP.

I see their first festive fixture is against that certain Brummie team supported by Wills and serve Balti pies with pints.

Don't matter who wins or loses that one, both teams I cannot stand the sight of. Both are irrelevant anyway, one is a sinking ship the other is flash in the frying pan and will be found out after Christmas.

Fortress Vile Park my arse.

They want ZZ. They’ll end up with another TT.

They want ZZ because they’ve had enough of PP.

And similar to Sancho it's like a media blackout blanket has been thrown over him, wonder what £100m Jack Grealish thinks about it?

Bayern got battered 5-1 at Frankfurt yesterday and have already qualified. Can easily see a win for the Rags - let’s just hope there’s also a win in the Copenhagen v Galatasaray match…..in the last minute ;)

Bayern got battered "because their rhythm was disrupted due to the previous week's game being called off due to snow". The German league closes for the winter break shortly and I would expect Tuchel wanting his team back into rhythm before the break as he would not want to fall further behind the leaders by going into a losing sequence.
I think (hope) they will put the rags to the sword.

Can you imagine the headlines if they get Zidane and United are top of the league even for one day?

 

[Zubrman]

They want ZZ because they’ve had enough of PP.

But they'll soon need the AA when their wheels have come off.

If you think about it Zidane (or similar) is a good shout given their previous failed selections:

1) Someone from Glasgow who’s a bit like the pisscan = FAIL
2) Someone with bags of experience = FAIL
3) A proven winner = FAIL
4) An ex-player who doesn’t have a fkn clue = FAIL
5) An ex-player who doen’t have a fkn clue and shags a lot = FAIL
6) An innovator who invented something called a gingham press = FAIL
7) A temporary manager = FAIL
8) An interim temporary manager = FAIL
9) A tactical genuis = FAILING

...have i missed anyone? Lets face it there’s been that many.

So having pretty much tried everything else the obvious next choice is a world class ex-player. Personally if I was Bryan...or whichever Glazer is running the shitshow this week i’d go for Kevin Keegan - isnt he a ballon d’or winner?

Alternatively they could go for a super fan. Andy fkn Tate and his whiney pussy voice or the ‘might as well be Celtic’ guy works for me. Doesn’t that knobhead already manage some team called the Stretford Fiasco or something?

That’s some sleeper account matey :=)
