I list Cardiff as a club who have had 2 promotions to the Premier League during SL's tenure. That's all.
As far as I'm aware Tan doesn't play in the team or coach the side. He has hired people to do that, people who have performed better than the people the Lansdowns have hired.
I don't like that club, or their fans, and the behaviour over Sala is disgusting, but the comparison is that even a **** like Tan can get Cardiff promoted while SL continues to fail and make bad decisions - handing the reins to Jon and over promoting BT are the latest mistakes.
Foreign owner? Heaven forbid! Foreign owned clubs like Forest, Burnley, Leicester, Fulham, Wolves, Cardiff,Bournemouth, Leeds, etc etc who have all had promotion to the Premier League during Lansdown's ownership. None of us want that.
He simply meant that in his opinion - and experience - the manager needs to have total control and being the highest paid reflects that. There's obviously no rule, just his perspective.
AF spoke a lot in the many books written by and about him regarding the need for total control to manage effectively, he ruthlessly got rid of any player who he felt tried in whatever way to undermine his control - Beckham, Stamm, Keane, Van Nistelroy, etc.
Free to start with ( to drown out the objections and get fans onside) but no doubt charges will follow. BT sport was free ( to BT broadband customers) when it launched PL coverage but now they charge like everyone else.
Last 6 games they've lost 0-1, 0-3, 0-3, 0-4, 0-3, 0-3.
P6 W0 D0 L6 Goals For 0 Against 17
The 0-4 was a FA cup game., but that's some streak. Can the manager survive that run?
Your a trier I'll give you that, a tough job to get a thread about how we all perceive the start Liam Manning has made derailed onto the subject of your nemesis but you're giving it a go!
