Not according to this from Channel 4

He has decided and his Grandfather knows (chairman of our local council) but is keeping the information secret.

I could not see Bobby Robson treating the job so shabbily.
As for young Theo he is probabley better off staying where he is, rather than running the risk of becoming the next Jermain Pennant, I dont know why the big clubs don't bid for first refusal on young players rather than actually signing them and playing them in the reserves for years.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

as for Sven he has a contract that is water tight.. the FA can't sack him as they don't have the money to pay him off

i've never rated him, he has a CV that makes him look like a good manager but when he see him in action, or his lack of it he realise that CV is abit of a con.. after seeing how he has no idea what to do once a game has started and can't change or influence the progress of games he should have gone after 2002.. the past few weeks and his previous attempts to leave the job make it clear he wants to go back to club management and isn't committed to the job.. he can't even stay 90 mins to watch a footie match when he goes to the games and he gets paid 5m for that :Yikes:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

3m netto, 5m gross right?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

not sure on the exact figures just read he gets 5m.. it was 4m but he then started having meetins about the chelsea job so he got a 1m raise and a longer contract from the FA even though they know they would never be able to sack him or buy him out of the contract if he signed it

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Can't they sack him for displaying a breach of confidence? (in regards of what he said about Owen). additionally / allegedly he has been touting Beckham to other peopel with an intention of getting him to move to Villa. If Mourinho was doing the same he'd be hung drawn and quartered

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

What about sacking him gross misconduct?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Lets face it most of us have said things we would be in deep **** for if found out, they were out for errikson and he got caught but they could probably have done the same thing to most manager's currently in the game but he got picked out.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

And why not.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Hopefully there will be a avalanche of goals tonight, but then again I thought that the last time these two played :rolleyes:

It will be interesting to see who SAF has selected for tonight.
