Bully Wee Villa Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 In fairness, he has a decent record as England netball manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 7 hours ago, spud131 said: Why is everyone making an issue of Neville getting this job without any top level management experience but nobody is making the same points about Ryan Giggs and Wales (ok he had 4 games in charge of utd). Is it because its the woman's team or because its England? Are you Ryan Giggs' brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The whole appointment is a bit embarrassing in all honesty. If Neville does a decent job it will all soon be forgotten. At least he hasn`t " Hoddled" the disabled I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman Hessian Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 calm down everyone - rather than being a wife-beating, probable racist - turns out that Phil "battered" his wife at a game of table tennis while they were on holiday looks like all the spluttering fuckwits might have got all offended about something for no real reason and fabricated all sorts of cuntish allegations about a decent family man - who'd'a thought it, eh ? still a shite manager, obvs...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 West Ham's head of player recruitment in being a big ol' racist controversy: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-5335207/West-Ham-director-sparks-race-row-African-stars.html Quote Henry sent an email on January 27 — in response to an inquiry about a footballer of Cameroonian descent — to another senior West Ham official and an agent. In the email, Henry wrote: ‘We don’t want any more Africans and he’s not good enough. Henry then confirmed it was true and suggested it was a policy supported by club management. ‘Yeah,’ Henry replied. ‘Because we had three and we felt we didn’t particularly want any more African players.’ Asked why, Henry replied: ‘Erm, no reason. It’s nothing racist at all. It’s just sometimes they can have a bad attitude. ‘We had problems with Sakho, with Diafra Sakho. We find that when they are not in the team they cause mayhem. It’s nothing against the African race at all. Terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonHMFC Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 This is going to be an interesting one, as it certainly looks like the person who leaked the email could well be David Sullivan. He has form for this sort of thing. With the FA investigating, we should hopefully find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s outing a blatant racist, then not too fussed what the motive was. Good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
