Exactly! If there was any reliability about it, our manager for the past two years would have been the odds on favourite Franck Haise.... Rather that 12/1 RDZ (who at the time was as likely as Bruno Saltor).

Leeds are slightly different, because its one of the biggest cities in the UK - indeed the biggest city in England to have only one football team. So they will always be a big club by virtue of their supporter base, and I haven't a problem with that. An Ipswich, a Derby, a Leicester or a Huddersfield - they need to keep winning to maintain a big club status - stop winning they fall down the pecking order very quickly.

Fair enough.
I suppose they have been shite for 20+ years.
We were shite for over 110.

Absolutely this was my thoughts too when I first heard the names. But thankfully being a football fan I'm allowed to be as fickle as hell and now I'd be disappointed if it wasn't McKenna

Apologies. You're right.
I apologise to the cup final team - who also got relegated!

The only Brighton team to ever get relegated from the top flight, distracted by the lure of Wembley! Ipswich have had some good runs up there, but have been relegated from the top flight on four separate occasions

They finished in the top five of the top division each season for a decade.

I’m still genuinely confused by these opinions on Farioli. I don’t profess to be an expert on French football, and I doubt many on here are. But as far as I can see the jump from mid Ligue 1 to PL is as big as top end Champ to PL (look at Baleba), and Farioli’s sides barely score any goals. Why is everyone so excited about him? Is it because we’re still in mourning for having an Italian hipster manager with a sexy name?

have to agree. his style of play isn’t as exciting and he’s quite risk averse.

PS: All The Farioli speculation, afaik, is based on a single social media post from a unreliable rumour spreading social media account.

We won the Charity Shield. Not that shite I'd say.
His style doesn’t seem to suit us at all. Ultra defensive approach. I just don’t understand the people saying we should go for him.
Where do people get this stuff? He's De. Zerbi's former assistant and prioritises attacking football and beating the press.

Having not watched Nice much this season - make that not at all - I think this is just proving you can find anything you like on the internet if you look hard enoughFarioli’s philosophy leaves shackled Nice in a slump and lacking a plan B | Luke Entwistle
Defensive tactics have served side well this season but after recent poor results maybe it is time the handbrake came off
Here for instance, his former side Alanyaspor tells a different story.
"As Alanyaspor progress into more advanced phases of possession, they maintain a similar approach, albeit with a few additions. Despite being a possession-heavy side, Farioli’s side has a dangerous verticality to them. They average a high 78.7 progressive passes per 90, and as they progress into the opposition half, they are constantly looking to attack the depth"

40 goals in 34 league matches for Nice this season doesn't scream attacking football IMO.Where do people get this stuff? He's De. Zerbi's former assistant and prioritises attacking football and beating the press.
