Ramar Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I find myself approving Hodgson's appointment. Think he could do really well. England will get to at least the Quarter Finals under him, you heard it here first. Think he can be a good appointment. Don't like all the Greenwood and Clough comparisons. Redknapp isn't any where near Greenwood let alone Clough. Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Lukas Podolski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England will get to at least the Quarter Finals under him, you heard it here first. If England don't get to the Quarter Finals, which is 2nd round of the tournament, under any manager then you need to be taking a serious look at the players and staff.

MadDog Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm going to save this quote for when you're talking about England during the Euros. You'll (and every other English person who says the same) either be bashing them or loving them at some point. Looking forward to Manchester derby tonight. I can see City slipping up and perhaps losing composure. United are far more experienced in matches like this and I can see them taking something from it. I haven't gave a shit about England for years. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I think Hodgson will do well. He's got plenty of experience as an international manager and at least the FA have learned that big name coaches generally don't work in the fish tank that is the English Job. Not to mention Hodgson seems to be a coach that players love to play for, even a team full of prima donnas like England should welcome that.

Fierce_LiNk Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 As I said, if he does become manager, then I'll back him to do the job. It's almost certain now. I just hope for his sake that the media don't turn on him too quickly, as he's quite a nice guy. So fucking nervous. Just got home from work, showered, and am about to watch this. If City do win this and then go on to win the league, there could be massive repercussions afterwards. I'm hoping we go there and put in a strong performance, whatever happens. If the players aren't up for it tonight, then they never will be. Hope we destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I hope City destroy old purple whiskey nose, shrek and company. It'd be great to see United trophyless.

Wii Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 How much have United spent over the years? Hundreds of millions. How much have a team, like say, Everton spent in that same time? It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramar Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 How much have United spent over the years? Hundreds of millions. How much have a team, like say, Everton spent in that same time? It's all relative. If I'm not mistaken Man Utd's fortunes for the most part came from their ability to use the Sky money most effectively. After a few titles they then took the lead in the world of marketing. You just have to look at the DHL deal to see how far ahead of everyone they are in terms of commercial revenue. Which in that case is fair game, they've earned that money. It's one of the reasons Arsenal can't match the contracts Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea offer because our commercial revenue is awful. Our deals with Nike and Emirates are dated and frankly embarrassing. But we're stuck on them for another year or two I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Our commercial revenue has shot up since FSG took over. We also got that 25mil a year Warrior deal, which is only bettered by Barca in the world. We're in good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We also got that 25mil a year Warrior deal.. ..and I'm sure you're as intrigued as me to see what the kits are like when they are revealed next month. Some of the rumoured suggestions from people 'in the know' aren't that encouraging Anyway, I remember saying to a guy in at work a few weeks ago that Man United had the title sewn up and there was no way back for City.. but I may have to eat my words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Emblem Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Well the result is a fair reflection of the match, City bossed it for large periods, Nasri fluffing it when he had a chance to make it 2-0 late on. Mind you next Sunday will be crucial, Swansea could surprise United at Old Trafford like Everton did and Newcastle have Champions league qualification to worry about so City will certainly have a bit of a tough time of it.
