The 'Couldn't think where to put this' thread part 2 or 'does my comment merit a NEW THREAD?'

Just not the same Division. ;wink

"I broke my wrist in the semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich and the club doctor said it was a 10-week job," says Kennedy, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle for £300,000 in 1978 and endured such a traumatic debut that Paisley joked at half-time that "they shot the wrong Kennedy".

IronHerb

There you go. Every scouser thinks they're a comedian. ;doh

Bob Paisley was a Mackem

IronHerb

But he was in Liverpool

MrsGrey

I've been to Liverpool three times.

No, make that four. I was forgetting a wedding in the early 90s.

I wonder if they are still together ;hmm

Kuchinghammer

Could a manager get away with that comment today?? If not, football is poorer for it...
Bubbles: yes..I looked it up on a thingy with names and colours all over it ;wink

I went to Liverpool a lot in the 80s and 90s (her name was Sharon) but I went back there about ten years ago on my way to a wedding on the Isle of Man. A lot of the pubs, shops, etc. in the centre of town were closed and boarded up, I've not been back since so maybe things have improved but it was quite sad at the time.

(Also Shaz was happily married by then)

MrsGrey

There's quite a lot of regeneration but it has moved out of the centre to around the Albert Dock and around the river. (It seemed to me, when I was last there.)

Headline in national newspaper/national newspaper website:

'Chelsea issue secret payout to alleged sexual abuse victim of former scout'

;hmm

So not that secret then?

My Liverpool supporting boss sent me a link with the email header "Essential Reading"

So your boss is sanctioning you to spend much of the afternoon on the internet??

That's a good point. I should have just stopped working and watched it

Pellegrini now favourite according to sky sports tho not given up on Rafa bet they both feel wanted

I don't see why ,if it was any other type of job you would interview more than one person especially if your paying a salary in the millions to make sure you get the right person , rather that than another eggs in one basket Bacca situation

But would you keep quiet about it or drop hints as to who it might be along the interviewing process

MrsGrey

I'm sure they are under no illusions about the process - they've been in the business a while and had several different jobs. I don't believe for one second that WHU is unique in the way it is approaching this process.

Whether we think it is right or wrong, I'm sure it's normal for the industry they are in.

A vacancy is in the offing - interested parties get their agents to take soundings. Various formal and informal discussions take place ... clubs will have a preferred candidate (perhaps at the outset) and managers may have several irons in the fire, with a preferred outcome.

MrsGrey

I don't think I knew that ;ccole was back involved with the club in an 'ambassadorial role' ;hmm

Cup final done and dusted. I’m sure Chelsea fans will be ecstatic. My congratulations and respect to Jackie Wilkins presenting the cup. ;clap ;bowdown a genuinely lovely tribute to Butch.

Vorselaarhammer

How will the Jose ego cope with a season where he won nothing...

I like Conte (even with him being Chelsea's voos) and am glad he leaves with a cup.

I was baffled until I realised it was from a couple of years ago.

Zlatan gets trodden on, and clips the player's ear. Then they do some synchronised diving.

Fixed it for you. I think you need practice on your clickbait, grey

I would ban both for five games for bringing the game into disrepute.

Greene King has sold the Boleyn Tavern to Remarkable Pubs who also own the Approach in Bethnal Green, the Royal Inn on the Park in Hackney, the Lord Tredegar near Mile End and the Salisbury on Haringey Green Lanes. Some very good pubs so the future looks good

Gentrification.

ASLEFshrugged

It'll still be a pub so better than being turned into flats or a Paddy Power like the Duke of Fife
