He's making a very good use of Kane's injury to shine imo. If anything Tottenham is one of the perfect clubs to be in if you want to become a world's super star without the immense pressure that you'd normally have at the bigger brand names. | ||

Villa American investors saw them plummet into the abyss of the Championship, sold to a Chinese man who is trying his best to re invest but they just sacked Di Matteo. Swansea took over by an American investor and sack there manager to replace him with BOB BRADLEY!!!! Jesus | ||

The French team was Ligue 2! He took over from an experienced Italian manager that had the whole team fighting for him and off the back of that performance vs Liverpool in where they outplayed one of the best sides in the first half, mind blowing. The job he did in Norway was arguably the best job anyone has done since Nils Arne Eggen during the 90s-2000s. He took a team virtually every single pundit thought was gonna get 16th out of 16 and had them looking like legit title challengers for most of the season (ended 3rd). He was always looking very managerial, good with media, all players said he was a genius.. Now granted, success in Norway does not transfer into success in the premier league, but Hodgson was managing here like 15 years ago - he did a significantly less impressive job than what Bradley pulled off.  | ||

I guess I just didn't (don't?) expect Antigua to have the kind of fans Brazilian clubs do. Even attending a Serie C match, the home block was full, and people were chanting and drumming, and throwing a party (I was cheering for the away team, and being about 1500km from home, there were about 20 people in our area... and some of them crazy enough to start chanting wars with the home crowd :o ) | ||

Also even if that is true what he did with that team and it being good in Norway. It does not give him the CV to walk into a premier league team that has struggle for points this season because he is probably the only manager the American investors have heard of! Delia and Solsjkaer had little to no experience outside of Norway from what I recall. Bradley has a lot of experience and has done a decent job at a variety of clubs and nations. At the very least I don't think he'll do a worse job than Guidolin and certainly much better than the alternative Giggs. It's nice to see a fresh face in Europe. | ||

![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/rwyGq/ec1e33f483.png) Egypt he didn't even get them into World Cup. The 1 season in Norway he did "good" like has been said but it was 1 season, then he nearly got promoted from Ligue 2 with that team. This is also clearly a "pr style stunt" by the new American owners too which is even worst. I wouldn't have minded it if Bradley walked into Villa job and did good in championship and made them just outside playoffs at end or something then got the job. But to only have managed in Europe for 2 seasons is pretty bad CV to manage a premier league side! | ||

Solskjær had a lot of resources and very good players -but his past two seasons as Molde manager haven't even been all that successful. Bob Bradley hardly had a team at all at the start of the season, signed a couple players almost for free, and built a clear team identity with great success the very first season. I really believe in him. | ||

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has proposed expanding the World Cup finals to a 48-team tournament .... Under his proposal, a preliminary knockout round in the host country would involve 32 teams with the winners reaching the groups, while a further 16 seeded teams would get a bye to that stage. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37547545 How does this make any sense? So 16 teams would prepare for weeks only to get eliminated in one match? I love international football and wish we had more matches but this is just bs. | ||

Someone should send him VODs of an MSL survivor tournament to show him how fucking shite those preliminary rounds always end up being. | ||
