I assume they (try to) sing the same song as we do about the profession of their local rivals’ manager’s mother? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 So, seeing this random name along with the hot tag on the thread I thought we'd found some random foreign article with our new manager head coach, but no, typical otib rubbish! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 4 hours ago, coxyboy said: Why would we sack a proven coach for a nobody, in that case lets get Benny back ...clueless post That's a bit reductive IMO. I was very much pro NP and his staff remaining and still am tbh, but what criteria are you judging by. Thomas Frank when he stepped up at Brentford, Farke at Norwich to name 2. Albeit Parachute Payments and major profit on Maddison and Murphy helped. Is it having managed in England, is it at least one promotion from the Championship. In which case Hassenhuttl can be crossed off as he never managed at Championship despite a decent record across a range of clubs. Unsure Southampton have upgraded on him with Jones, Selles or Martin.

PHILINFRANCE Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) @Nogbad the Bad. Re. the pronunciation of ‘echt’, i.e. whether it is hard or soft, I have checked with my daughter. Echt is soft in “Hochdeutsch”, which is the German version of the Queen’s (King’s?) English. It is also regional.
