Dean Watch.

[FrankMunro-371]

I thought this thread had re-opened because our beloved Deano had got the Stoke job...

 

[Lupo]

Gave the old "I've managed" and "been in the game all my life" despite being one of the biggest jokes ever in football management

 

[visage]

Punditry is a new career. Being a top player gives you a leg up, but if you don't perform you'll sink. Compare and contrast the Neville brothers.

 

[Lupo]

He was confident that Jake Cassidy of Hartlepool (17 apps 3 goals) was 'gonna be a player':

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

One of the things I will always remember from fans parliament was Jez saying that one goalmouth of the first team pitch at Compton needed replacing after six months of Saunders ball lump it and jump for it bollocks.

 

[YoungWolf]

I wonder what poor Mal Purchase is doing these days, I doubt he gets much punditry work.

 

[Lupo]

Apparently our 'hero' was questioning Pep Guardiola's ability to improve players on Wednesday's show...

What would Dean Saunders have ended up doing if the good lord hadn't blessed him with footballing ability?

He'd surely have ended up as some kind of consultant who just spouts bollocks and you're really not sure why they're there.

Either that or something to do with homeopathy

Opening the batting for England, presumably.

Occasionally I forget how much I despise this cretinous stain on humanity. Then I hear him speak and it all comes flooding back.

Some sort of David Brent style salesman would be my guess.

Looks like a publicity shot for an 80s double act now doing summer season at Cromer pier.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Seems highly likely that Chesterfield are going to be dropping out of the Football League in the next couple of weeks. Almost as if it's all directly traceable back to one ludicrous decision just under three years ago, when they'd just finished in the League One playoffs.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He's currently in the old joint stock if anyone wants to chin him.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

wrong thread

 

[Lupo]

Saunders talking about Harry Kane just now:

"(as a striker) you never lose the eye of the tiger"

:ursofunny: :ursofunny: :ursofunny:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

As a manager you never lose the hole of the cunt

 

[Lupo]

Listening to The Final Word on Talksport, Saunders criticises the goalkeeper for not setting his wall up properly for the Huddersfield free kick. Natalie Sawyer responds that you wouldn't expect that from someone of the calibre of Rui Patricio. Deano replies: "It's not him, it's the goalkeeper". You can hear Ryan Mason trying to stifle his snigger in the background :icon_redface::icon_eek::icon_rolleyes:

The moron has been doing himself proud today.

“As a manager, right, you get given a whistle, you get given a notebook and a pen, and a laptop maybe. Nobody gives you a pair of pliers and binoculars to watch training sessions.”

“We all do it. We don’t go and watch training sessions though. There’s like a code of conduct. You can’t really stand at the side of the fence watching training against the opposition. It’s not the done thing.”


“What he done yesterday, we all do it. We all do that. No, we all do that analysis. You’d have two analysts who would…I would watch the last three games, the last four, three, four games of the opposition we were playing next, and the analyst would put it into attacks, goals they’ve conceded, goals they’ve scored, how they try and attack you, which side, where does the ball go, set-pieces. So you learn things like that. But it would be interesting to see what the LMA say about it because he’s not done anything illegal, but the spirit of it, we’re all, we’ve got a union, a manager’s association union that we’re all sort of involved with. So we have got a code of conduct between us all, the managers.”


“Everybody does it. That’s not…what he’s done yesterday, like Frank Lampard said, everybody does that. All the managers, we have, Sam Allardyce will have five or six analysts doing all that for him, and then he’d sit down, they’d condense it all, and the analysts would say ‘I’ve watched all this, this is how they’re trying to play.”


“But standing on the training ground, somebody else’s training ground? He wouldn’t do that.”


“If someone happens to be walking past with their dog, that’s alright. But if you actually send somebody to stand on the opposition’s training ground and spy on them, then I don’t know any manager in the land who’ll be happy with that.”


“Everybody does what he done yesterday. All the managers do it. I used to do it.”


“Well, I’m telling you, I’ve managed in non-league and they do. They do, yeah. And all you do is you get two students to do it, who are happy to come and they come and do it, or three students will come in as work experience. They’ve got the software that can just go ‘bang, bang, bang, bang, bang’, they can get all Leeds’ goals up, they can get all Leeds’ goals conceded, they get all the passes, who makes the most passes. We can get all the information if you’ve got the right software, and if you’ve got loads and loads of money, you can get eight analysts.”


Added bonus bit on Australia losing to Jordan:


“David James was showing me it. He was at the Soccer Sixes. He said ‘look at that, Australia have got beat by some minnow country’. They are expected to win it.


“By the way, he’d have a job if he was Australia manager, Bolasie, spying from Australia? Twenty-four hours on a plane?”

 

[YoungWolf]

Where to begin with that. Fucking hell.

It's gibberish, hurt my head reading it.
