I read an article on Watford that was saying that they hire managers to hit a specific target - once he does, they move on to the next target with another manager. they go off the statistics show managers rarely go past 2 years anyway. So they work on that premise.

Fun fact - his name is actually translated to “Vennegoor or Hesselink” something about arguing families not agreeing to a surname

Van Nistelrooy had been highly rated as a coach enough to be appointed by Man Utd. As much as I like Rob Edwards I can’t see that happening in his career anytime soon

Bit of a cock up at Watford though weren’t he. don’t get me wrong I’d have Rob Edwards, but I’ve a personal preference for Van Nistelrooy

In your opinion it is… it’s not one of my go to songs when I put on Apple Music. Like I said most people are likely to go to their generation as such. You’re welcome to try to get it started. You never know it might catch on

Because people don’t like the same music you do?

Deffo know Henry was offered to us by Monaco when we signed Konjic. We didn’t want to pay 4.5m for him as a winger is what I read I read not long ago that the reason we didn’t go for RVN was that he was a midfielder at the time…. Not the devastating striker he became. Villa turned him down aswell

It’s not slating though is it, music tastes change. Two tone was big as you said for 2 years. The message is fine. the music just isn’t popular, when you consider that you lead into 80s with more popular nationwide and world wide acts following into the 90s where you got bands like Oasis, Blue...

Nah - I’ve heard of them, but apart from Ghost Town and Message to you Rudy, couldn’t tell you any more. I’m 35 and id put good money on most people under my age being apathetic to the specials and two tone in general

And that goes back to my original point that the majority of the fanbase will know them. Given they were only 13/14 years aho

It’s also football-wide, there isn’t many football teams relating to the specials

The comparison was to twist and shout

Good point. But to be fair the specials are pretty niche. The Beatles were a much bigger deal and remain a much bigger deal. I’d imagine most people could identify far more Beatles songs than specials

Wouldn’t you need 25k+ liking the specials? there’s so significant portion of our fanbase who weren’t even alive when they were about

Mad policy that. I get the reasoning but when your money is made from England. Having them purposely reject their best players is madness

I’d take Dean Smith 2bh. I fell like his name hasn’t been looked at due to the more favourable names as it were coming out in the media and bookies.

I read apparently when we were trying to sign him (and Villa) he was a CM, we both didn’t rate him. Turns out he was a top class striker instead

We turned him down 30 years ago…. Second chance at redemption?

No its not - but SISU would have sold him.
