For four games. "After his final match in charge, a 1–1 draw with Southampton, Giggs admitted to breaking down in tears, in part due to the pressure of managing United, and also said he had struggled to sleep during the period." So he'll cope with this no problem. Quinn31 and rubecula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At training, he put the cones out and handed out the bibs. markjazzbassist, rubecula and MikeO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Cyril Regis dead before his time, shame though I'm still uncomfortable with the WBA "three degrees" moniker. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42688106 Ron Atkinson (not at all racist because he says not despite the evidence) presumably coined the term, and even if he didn't and just went along with it it's nasty. Fact that we used to sing "we are white" in the same era is still shameful also. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/espn-fc-united/68/post/2991946/istanbul-basaksehir-take-turkish-football-by-storm-without-many-fans This has been a great story to follow - top of the Super Lig. There have been a few more recent articles, but I enjoyed this one the most " But now that very lack of support is actually one of the main reasons behind Basaksehir's rise, because it allows the club to be patient and gradually implement superb long-term plans without any pressure. Millions of fans and constant media attention are nice if things are going smoothly, but they bring a harsh spotlight if something goes wrong. In the Turkish league, where the fans are among the most passionate in the world, a defeat is a treated as a tragedy, leading to talks about crisis. The big three of Istanbul -- Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas -- spend most of their time solving all types of real and imaginary crises. Coaches are fired and resign all the time. Newspapers and TV channels are always looking for the next big crisis. It is absolutely impossible to do any sort of planning in those circumstances. But Basaksehir coach Abdullah Avci has been patient." Doesn't sound too unfamiliar ^. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would that club of clubs do that? They've had the current badge since 1998 and honestly it looks terrific. The sort of badge that could be a permanent one.
