"The nightmares invading the sleep of Bayern fans involve four horsemen of the Champions League Apocalypse riding towards them. As the faces come into focus, they will recognise Frank Lampard, Cole, Petr Cech and Drogba. All were immense..."
Just had to google the new manager as i'd never heard of him!
"The 40-year-old Argentinian spent three years with Espanyol, but was sacked in November with the club bottom of La Liga with nine points from 13 games"
Quote: Hammertime wrote in post #3I believe the guy they've appointed was Manager at Espanyol until getting sacked in November!! Chairman sounds like a proper cock.
Got a draw with arsenal too on Boxing day after taking the lead, Will be justice on the owners if they go down.......if you stay in the prem this year you'll be financiall stable for years !!
Unless it comes out that there was a spat with the chairman, absolute madness. Was just thinking after midweek that they got a decent form going and this happens. Modern top flight football today is an absolute joke and embarrassment. From player antics, to manager treatment, ticket prices etc.

Spot on, he was the Physio initially although had managed briefly at Bangor City I think. Scunthorpe used to sing " You've got Mourinho, we've got our Physio " I had a few chats with him when he was at Scunny, real sound bloke imo, very very positive even if they'd played shit. Did well under Laws, then when he left stepped up and did a very very good job. Infact Scunthorpe have been on a downward spiral since he left.
