The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not much agreement on who is the right chap to take over from SOD, so what are the chances of anyone being much cop? We pay them a fortune, money we don't really have, even when they do a poor job. And to clear off. I like SOD's idea of questioning why we always do things in football, just because they've always been done. So, why bring another bloke in, when the likelihood of them being much use is very low? We could have managed 2 wins and being in the relegation zone without SOd or anyone. What is the point of these guys? Save the wages and spend them on more players. If Spain can make do without a centre forward,......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Love the idea! Didn't SOD say once he let the players decide who takes corners, throws etc. take that a stage further: they pick the team, decide who plays where. And the players on the bench could double up with a bit of arm waving and a using the fourth official. I think you might be onto something.

UREDS_91 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Put number pads on every seat then, we can vote for subs, formations and tatics in game. Put the fan first. Then we can sack ourselves if (when?) we do badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps having a "guest" head coach, for particular opponents, like Radio 4 have "guest" editors at Christmas (PJ Harvey this year, one of them). Maybe give out of work coaches a week's rolling contract and see how they go. Can we do much worse like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withering sarcasm and cynicism, sir, even fancy - dan, continental Italian cynicism, will get us nowhere. However, it might get you a slot on one of the handful of City fanzines or blogs knocking around. You might think of applying. Excellent stuff!

PJ Harvey would be excellent - well at least the music we come out would be if she picks her own. Other obvious contenders: Massive Attack, but please no ******* wurzels!

Success breeds er, success. And one or two other things, here in Somerset. That Pete Budd, he's got a winning philosophy for life, sir, not just for football. That Massieve Attamack, work shy west country bumpkins-pull your fingers out lads, and knock out another top notch song with someone else's top notch singer! Like that Pete Budd....

With respect Mr Q, alot of people sold alot of records at that time, and alot of them were rubbish too. Mind you I retain a soft spot for 'I hate JR'.

Even those lazy massieve artack boys. EVERYTHING in the 70s was better than now, even the bloody Rovers. Next you'll be telling me my favourite, Kelly Marie (who does a fine job on here, might add. Mostly ignoring my "advances" sadly) was rubbish too. Then we will be properly falling out, you and me, Mr Badge. The 80s? Where to begin on the 80s? Modesty forbids, but if you'd like .....

WTFiGO!?! Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well I was gonna suggest you do it, Les. Don't know about the football but the press conferences would be interesting. Another idea is to let individual supporters have a go. Keep the same one in until they lose a game then pass the baton to the next. It'd be series after series of honeymoon periods.

swanker Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 This has got me thinking. The way we played on Saturday we could also do without a striker. On Tuesdays night showing we possibly could do without a goalkeeper as well. Just imagine, no manager, no strikers and no goalkeeper. We could just pass the ball about from side to side and backwards and forwards. Think of the money we could save and would we be any lower in the league than we are now?

steveybadger Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 "Swank," you're onto something there. What else can we do away with? I remember a Spitting Image annual years back with a cartoon strip in which an administrator took over the running of a club, sold all the players, the ground, formed a new company and the fans eventually just cheered on the share price on the stock exchange. This can't be any worse than watching the footy at the mo, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where's the joy Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 keep mr burt signing players but make sure they haven't played for SOD before, then get some shoutie people throwing teacups and waving their arms about in the technical area oh and stick some players on the pitch who can score goals. forget about the defence we have been conceding two goals a game for 3 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
