    Makes sense. I dunno, he did decently well with Egypt. He then took the team he managed in Denmark to Europa. Went to France and Havre was 5th in Ligue 2 so far. Swansea is taking a chance, but I don't think it's any worse than the managerial decisions that Watford makes, or ones that Mike Ashley made prior to Rafa

    He managed in Norway and took that team to Europe for the first time ever and Le Havre missed out on promotion via a playoff.

    Couldn't remember what Le Havre did last year after he took over.

    That's not true though. There are no promotion playoffs in Ligue 2.

    Also worth noting is Le Havre were already in 4th or 5th when Bradley tookover iirc.

    My apologies as my memory has failed me, but Le Havre finished tied for third, a promotion spot and missed out on the third tie breaker which was goals scored by 2.

    Giggs says Swansea didn't meet his ambitions, guess that is the level of arrogance you get from a guy that fucked his brother's wife.

    My favorite thing about the English soccer press is all the unnecessary articles about a player or a coach "backing" someone just because didn't say anything rude or disparaging in a press conference. Just because Arsene Wenger did the sensible thing by not saying anything bad about Southgate somehow turns into "Arsene thinks Southgate is the guy to lead England to World Cup glory"

    His seemed pretty likely for a regression with his age and the ridiculous amount of time he has gone without a break. Only a Herschel Walker like specimen could survive that much punishment. Crazy that it's been two years in a row that the captain of the champions has been a CB who played every minute of the season and then paid for it big time the next season.

    That plus him not being ready for Copa America because he was partying too hard were pretty good indicators.

    Just to pile on, he played in the "real" Copa the year before and the gold cup just two weeks later. He'll have the body of a retired professional wrestler soon if he keeps this up.
