Newcastle have done well from it this season but i agree. I thought Dyche would have been in high demand.Several years ago you’d have been right but doubt whether many premier league clubs would be prepared to take a punt on an English manager now - even a promotion winner. Even clubs like Brighton and Brentford now seem committed to continental coaches.
Fair enough, but.... Jimmy Hill.Coventry City had a two tone football strip a few years back, so I'm out on the fuck them, frankly.

I actually have a soft spot for Coventry.
My grandmother settled there after leaving Ireland..
(Thankfully my mother had already landed in London...)
So I have a lot of relatives there..
Uncles and cousins have season tickets..
Have memories of being taking to the old Highfield Road as a kid..
Midlands football clubs were quite exciting back then.. 70's...
Oh and this iconic free kick..
The fuckers in power banned it at the end of that season in 1970..
The Wales kit on the sane Admiral template is a thing of beauty. The greatest football kit of all time actually, but that brown version is rank!I've always thought that strip wasn't as awful as everyone makes out
I don’t understand on what grounds they could ban that.Gawd, I remember that goal and the banning. Why would you ban something creative and exciting?
From memory, something like a free kick had to be a strike of the ball rather than something where you began the move with your foot already in contact with it. Not sure if I've got that right though, as you sometimes see players taking a free kick with their studs on top of the ball and just rolling it to another player.I don’t understand on what grounds they could ban that.
FIFA banned the trick
Now, it's easy to see why FIFA brought the axe down on the 'donkey' trick because it required Carr to have sustained contact with the ball as opposed to a rudimentary touch in order to flick it up.
'Back of the Net: 100 Golden Goals' by Billy Edgar explains that FIFA's decision revolved around the fact that the ball was not considered to have moved its full circumference before the second touch.
Funny one, we're supposed to be down on Edwards after he left us in slightly poor circumstances post promotion but good luck to him in my opinion. We'll need to improve recruitment, have lost the backroom lot who assembled his champion side and Big Dunc is quite a different type of manager.Good old Luton. So pleased from them. Gives hope to FGR JimW ?
