Wolves appoint Gallardo

View attachment 220570​

Marcelo Gallardo has today been appointed the new manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club after a short search for a new manager following the departure of Kenny Jackett. The 41 year old Argentinian has signed a long term deal at the club and will assume his first team responsibilities immediately, with his first match coming at home against Newcastle in the Premier League.

Wolves have moved swiftly to replace outgoing manager Kenny Jackett who reportedly had a falling out with the board about the level of ambition required to take the club forward. Jackett had previously won Wolves promotion to the Premier League and some fans are claiming that this is a poor way to repay their former manager.

Gallardo enjoyed a long and successful playing career, turning out for clubs such as Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, River Plate and D.C United. Since his retirement in 2011, he has turned his hand to management and has had reasonably successful spells in charge of Uruguayan side Nacional, Brazilian side River and most recently at Stoke in the Premier League.

"Marcelo is a man with a very bright future in football management" Said Wolves chairman Scarlett Johansson in an interview this morning. "While we all are very grateful for the work Kenny did, it is now time to turn our attentions to the future and to establishing ourselves as a Premier League club and we are sure that Marcelo is the right man to do that."

Bashful Baggies

"Despite there continued improvement over the last few seasons Chairman, Frank Skinner, still demands more but are the finances stopping him and his club to plan for the long-term. With increasing budgets being handed to the top English clubs, the so called smaller clubs are having a difficult time in the transfer market. Skinner has been slated in the press over his squad's aging legs...
thejoshster said:
West Brom’s squad is old, really old, with a squad average of 28...
Click to expand...
He refuses to just lay down and allow the media to ridicule his professionals, and that's what they are in Skinner's eyes, professionals.

Certain media sources have been quoting Alan Hansen's famous line;
thejoshster said:
...you’ll never with anything with kids...

stating that West Brom need a younger team, but we here at The Hawthorns are attempting to build for the future.

Skinner was quoted,

Frank Skinner; said:
"When I say "building for the future", I mean putting aside your relegation battle, or your ambitions for European success and spending a majority of your time investing in young talent.
Young talent is always good.
It is and always will be an effective way of building a good side for a minimal fee, not everyone has the spending power of the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea to name just a few."
Click to expand...

Skinner seems to be modelling his squad management on the Arsenal "Invincibles" era...

Example: Arsenal Squad 2008

The squad is easily split into the three categories:

Experienced "Model Pros" (25+): Gallas, Toure, Lehmann/Alumnia, Rosicky and maybe even Gilberto Silva.

Core of the team (21-25): Van Persie, Adebayor, Clichy, Flamini, Hleb and Eduardo.

Youngsters(U21): Walcott, Denilson, Diaby, Bendtner, Fabianski, Hoyte etc.

The idea is to continuously buys youngsters with the goal for some of them to reach the "Core of the team" category. While the present "Core of the team" will become the "Experienced/Model Pro's" and the idea is to only sell players on for a profit and thus providing more money for the new roster of "Youngsters", and filling in any other gaps in the other category. This structure is supposed to help with building a team for the future as the younger players will constantly have a role model to learn from at the club and thus helping them reach their potential.


While Skinner's West Brom seem to be struggling at present, he is very optimistic for their future and prolonged success.


West Brom Bright Stars

Sergio Diaz

A Paraguayan striker who played for Cerro Porteno from the age of 10. After scoring thirty goals with the U15's team he was dubbed the Kun Aguero of Cerro Porteno for his resemblance to the Argentine striker, both physically and technically gifted, he quickly became the most sort after Paraguyan. Leaving to join Real Madrid in 2014/2015 season, he struggled to make it into the elusive first team despite his proven goal scoring record in the B team and on the International stage he was sold cheaply to West Brom and at 19, we are expecting big things from this young lad.

Alessandro Murgia

Alessandro has impressed when representing his national side at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 levels. Yet to make a full International debut, the 21-year-old has been dubbed the new Andrea Pirlo, having only recently made a move to the West Brom is hoping to secure his future at The Hawthorns.

James Wilson

A born goalscorer determined to continue his considerable rise, yet another prodigy of the Manchester United youth system. Breaking into the First Team last season he formed an impressive partnership with Bafetimbi Gomis, he will hope to continue onto England successes.

View attachment 220453
Ben Garrett

One of the most talented goalkeepers in the country (IRL) and coming from the outstanding academy, at Crewe. Ben quickly became Crewe's no1 until West Brom tempted him to challenge and hopefully replace Petr Cech.

View attachment 220451
Harry Cardwell

An absolute goal machine, dubbed the new "Michael Owen" - lets hope without the injuries... but an awesome goal tally for the reserves last year netting over 34 goals, and this season in first team action he has netted 6 goals in eight starts.


Team Form

Pos: 14th
Points: 6

Man City Update

3 wins 2 draws 2 losses not a great month for us…
First up was Znik’s amazing arsenal it was a no show for us losing 3-0 messi scoring 2 and sanchez grabbing one in the process very disappointing arsenal sending out a title warning the only plus side of this is that my prediction will be right ;)

Next was Watford at home, and despite Edin Dzeko scoring against his former club it wasn’t enough 4-1 solid victory scored different people with steven caulker getting the man of the match.

Champions League match a very disappointing 3-1 loss to Wolfsburg joe hart was very poor and has been all season expect to bring in some better competition for him in January.

A 1-1 draw against q.p.r a good team granted but another 2 points dropped. Finally wins against Birimingham in the COC and sunderland bring the month to a close.

Otamendi, Caulker and Henderson have been our best players of the season so far while our English lads have been disappointing especially joe hart 6 games avg 6.67 :(

Cheers all


I’m hoping to do another update this weekend but not going to until everyone has done at least one quick update after a quick look over the last two months I think were just waiting on Newcastle,Leicester and Cardiff who have yet to do any sort of update get them in! :p
 
I'll maybe get an update done tonight. How long it is depends on how long I have :)

This is gonna be a sorta rap version of my update:

It was time for the season
To start for a reason
The BPL was back
Back in the attack

By the 1st of September
We were floating around forever
In 3rd place mate
We were never gonna drop, we were so great.

But by October, things had changed
We had collapsed, we were ranged
Stuck in mid-table
With a struggle for a label

Now we aim for Europa League
It's what we deserve, 7th was meagre
If we get there, we will be full of joy
We will be excited, ready to ploy.

West Ham United - September Update


September was a busy month for the team, with 6 games coming for the team. With a poor first month of the season and a continuation of our TV exposure with 7 of our first 8 games televised, it was time to start winning for the fans.


West Ham 3-2 West Brom

Welbeck (2), AsensioA good way to start the month with our first win of the season thanks to a brace from Welbeck and an Asensio goal.


West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace

Our next game was less successful, a disappointing home loss to Crystal Palace.


West Ham 1-0 FC Nurnberg

Welbeck

We bounced back with an impressive home win against Nurnberg in the opener of our Europa League campaign thanks to an early Welbeck goal.


Everton 1-1 West Ham

Welbeck

Another Welbeck goal, this time late on in the game salvaged us a draw away at struggling Everton.


West Ham 2-1 Aston Villa

Meyer, Aranguiz

We then hosted Aston Villa at the Olympic stadium, where we came back from behind to claim a 2-1 win with goals from Meyer and Aranguiz.


Swansea 0-3 West Ham

Naismith (2), Welbeck

Perhaps our most impressive performance was away at Swansea as we coasted to a 3-0 win with 2 goals from Naismith and another from Welbeck.


Those results mean we've now moved up to 11th in the league, and although we'd ideally be higher there is still lots of time to improve and move towards the European places once again.​

To the Fans,

It is with a heavy heart that today I announce the termination of Paul Hartley's contract with immediate effect. Following the sub-par performances in September we began drawing up a shortlist of potential replacements. We had intended to give Paul another month to prove himself but the recent appointment at Wolves has forced our hand.

We expect that the appointment at Molineux will spark a domino effect as clubs who are searching for a manager make changes and we didn't want to be the Club at the end choosing from the leftovers.

We haven't made this move without a plan for the future in place. As alluded to above the Club has been doing our due diligence on a number of potential candidates so that we are prepared for a multitude of situations. That said, our investigations have led us to believe that an immediate change will be best for the Club as it will give the incoming manager a significant period to ***** the playing list and identify potential targets prior to the January transfer window.

We want to thank Paul for all his efforts in what has been a tumultuous time and wish him all the best in the future.

Joining the Blues in his place will be Dutch legend Frank De Boer. Having held managerial positions at Ajax, Liverpool, Reading and most recently Celtic we believe his experience at this level will be telling in keeping the Club up this season.

I'm sure you will all join with me in giving Frank a rousing reception at the upcoming away match at QPR and then on his home debut against Manchester City on the 20th and will be right behind both he and the lads as we work our way back up the table.

Yours in football,

Sorry about the lack of updates guys. Been busy and my internet is unusually down (on my data plan atm). Will look to get something out soon. Actually might just do a short one in this post!

So it's October and we've only got one win. Also out of the League Cup. Given the amount invested in the club, I expected better. Villas-Boas has one month to improve, else he will be executed. We've got some hard fixtures coming up, but no reason why we can't play better.

Allahu Akbar.
 
******* Arsenal! And we'd had such a good record against them in previous seasons!

Still, super happy Spurs are in second at the moment. Update tomorrow :)

Leicester City FC - AvB Announcement

View attachment 220133

...HE GOT AWAY!

Apparently some asshat on the board offered AvB an out and put Paul Lambert in charge. Yes, the same Paul Lambert that got Norwich relegated and almost managed to repeat the feat three times with Aston Villa. Needless to say, I don't want anything to do with him and will be looking for a replacement. You got lucky, Andre. Big time.

Allahu Akbar.​
 
yes tottenham!!! wish they were doing that well irl :( really enjoying reading through this though, very entertaining :)
