Rangers 0-2 Roma.... Is he supposed to be Greek? 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Ah the famous gladiator (or rather stylised Greek hoplite) Huncunticus inventor of the modern belt buckle.

Boro's manager taking over Wolves. Wolves are chance to swap places with Boro next season at this rate 

He’ll be getting a lot more money though

Apparently he's got form for this.

“Rob was a key part of the team that gained promotion to League One this season,” a Forest Green statement said. “We’re disappointed that our support, loyalty and honesty towards Rob has been repaid in this way – with negotiations taking place behind our backs. We had no contact from Watford, from whom we might expect less, but in any event this kind of behaviour gives football a bad name. We thank Rob for all his work at FGR – forgive him the manner of his departure and wish him well.”


Forest Green’s chairman, Dale Vince, said he had called Edwards on Tuesday evening as speculation mounted. “As soon as he started speaking, I knew that it was real,” Vince told Sky Sports News. “[He told me] that he had been in negotiations [with Watford] and felt it was a great opportunity for him.”

Watford responded in a statement: “Rob had a contractual provision allowing him to leave Forest Green Rovers at any time to discuss employment opportunities at other clubs and the Hornets are delighted to confirm our discussions concluded today.”

Vince tweeted just over an hour later: “Watford can’t read a contract or are careless of the truth – there is no such provision – and how would it even make sense to leave a club before going [to] talk to another? He negotiated in secret and then left once he had the job. Watford are scrambling for cover, but there is none.”

 

He sounds like a right cunt.

Didn't he take Luton down twice in consecutive seasons? Not sure of the appeal tbh. 

There's a sentimental connection with Wolves in that he played for them, but that's not a reason to hire him.

He got sacked before they went down for the second time.


Aye, but he got them relegated in the same way Steve McClaren got us relegated, not Rafa.

Well, technically they were 2 places above the relegation zone when he got the news so you never know. Whatever happened they underachieved that season.

I bet he was still caught offside at least 15 times.


Each half, at least.

It's hilarious how much there is over this disallowed dipper goal. Once again injustice got the victim cunts. It's like no fucker has ever had a goal disallowed 

 

Fucking Webb has come out and said it wouldn't have been unreasonable to overturn the decision. Dippers are going to hang on to that bullshit with ridiculous dedication.

Even the dipper gaffer yesterday said they had enough chances to score and didn't 

 

I can't even begin to imagine the horror of having to be subservient to a dipper.

id rather live in a shop doorway.
