This ridiculous statement:
"if you're thinking about promotion, they're all 'must win' games !"
Agreed every game is important! But teams do lose sometimes and we just had 3 away games against 3 good sides.(Watford ought to have gone up last season)
PS. The Gut finished in the 70s it's called Straight Street and is not full of pub type bars but restaurants and wine bars.(We don't see many ships in the harbour now, apart from cruise liners.)

You have more faith in Garcia than I do then.
Lua Lua was fit but simply not selected.
Garcia wants to play Orlandi (fair enough he is a great player - just not a left winger) and as Lopez clearly has something over him it's Lua Lua that gets dropped.

Dick Fosbury tried something different and that worked pretty well for him

But mysteriously, as we know, the foreign style does work in League one. What is it with you and Rev, have you got terminal cancer? Have some patience, look how long it took Swansea to get out of this league playing the right way and not over spending...

It is not time for a British manager and 4-4-2. Seagulls1984 merely wants these things. Seagulls1984 and all others that articulate this nonsense on NSC haven't been paying attention.
It is, rather, time for Oscar and 4-3-3. Which is what we have, which is good. It is as it is, and as it should be.

I think you're right, and if you take a look at the managers of the bottom ten clubs you find
Gary Johnson
Danny Wilson
Chris Powell
Ian Holloway
Dogging Freedman
Paul Dickov
Lee Clark
Stuart Gray
Barry Ferguson
Mark Robins......all ten of them British. What more proof do you need that to get out of this division you need a British manager?
I think you'll find he flopped.

Are you seriously saying that if Barcelona were put in the Championship they would ONLY get out playing 442 with a British manager!?
This ........sooooo many British managers are behind the times, as the games moved on ....the only good ones are already working for some reason !
Just needs to be more emphasis on actually playing a 4-3-3 as apposed to a defensive minded 4-3-3 which is a 4-5-1 and isolates the forward !!!!
So you end up Having lots of possession, with nothing to show for it .
Buckley and lua lua next to ulloa would make us much more dangerous......current team is lacking pace with the exception of lua lua

The brilliantly moronic aspect of this thread is.....there has been HARDLY ANY foreign managers in the Championship AT ALL. Just BASIC maths/odds calculation would show that the British managers get promoted more......because they are the ones who are managing.
I can only really think of OG(current), Gus(did a great job in my vioew), Zola(did a good job), Sousa(Leicester and QPR, mental clubs who sacked qucikly), Erikkson(Leicester, see Sousa), New Watford chap, MARTINEZ,.
I'm sure there will be a few others but there's been barely ANY. To make a difinitve statement when 99% of the managers are British anyway is just silly.

I just realised that Micky Adams got a team promoted to the Prem. Shall we get him back?

I'm not so sure. Look at the managers of teams at the top of League 1;
Mark Warburton
Kenny Jackett
Russell Slade
Simon Grayson
Steve Evans
Dean Smith
Darren Ferguson
Mark Cooper
Micky Adams
Karl Robinson.
They are all British and three of them will probably be getting INTO the division.
Just to point out how ridiculous this is - according to the League Managers Association, there are 89 FL clubs currently with managers. From my scan of the list 14 are foreign (so 75 British or Irish). Of those 4 are in the Championship (Garcia, Karanka, Rosler and Sannino), and all are in their first season in charge. Of the 10 in the Premier League, only Poyet and Martinez managed in the Football League.

I think it's now obvious to us all that not only does Mr Bloom read NSC but he's also influenced by it.
This thread appears, next thing you know Joe Kinnear becomes available...coincidence?
