It is hardly difficult matt - unless you have preconceived ideals.
If. someone settles for money, rather than any alternative, then their aim was, properly, money...
Of course, if you have preconceived ideas then reason is , undoubtedly, whatever your preconceived ideas were - regardless of facts to the contrary..

I have expressed, directly, and with absolute clarity, my OPINION in relation to the RELEVANT issue between us, and I have nothing further to add, neither will I.BobHelm wrote:It is hardly difficult matt - unless you have preconceived ideals.

If you consider it serves your best interests to continue posting in your present manner, in your abortive attempt to justify your position, or to keep' muddying the waters' by posting pseudo, embarrassingly unintelligible philosophical comments as appear above, that's entirely a matter for you. Goodnight and sleep well.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36534121Dunga: Brazil sack coach after Copa America exit at group stage
A nil nil draw with Ecuador, followed by a 7-1 thrashing of group whipping boys Haiti followed by a 1 nil loss to group winners Peru.
To say disappointing, is very far of the mark!!
It is a team filled with pretty mediocre players from a Brazil standpoint though..

At long last a rumour that appeared under this thread some time back, has actually reached fruition viz: Ronald Koeman's move from St. Mary's to Goodison Park I'll leave it up to you lot to figure out who will follow him. Fortunately Sammy Lee's name hasn't been mentioned by Sky nor the Beeb nor, naturally, evertonfc.com website.

An article from a Manchester paper. More money is coming Palace's way than ever before , but goodness, I trust the Club never loses its' community spirit and becomes corporate.

Brian. how many games before Pards get the elbow next season? I reckon by the end of nov
The year after he kept West Ham up & took them to the cup final he only lasted a few weeks
He's good at getting results when everyone is confident and playing well and completely hopeless when he needs to motivate players who have not had good results ...... hence wherever he's been it's 6 or 7 unbeaten followed by 10 defeats

Life could be less complicated, if boring, if one owned a crystal ball - at least one that worked.
I haven't researched Pardew's management history, but am aware e.g. there WERE some highs at Newcastle, although more lows. Quite independent of your question, I've said elsewhere that it's a mystery to me on occasions when a Club/Manager can be doing wonderfully well at one point and then things go dramatically downhill, although surrounding circumstances don't seem to have changed much. How many managers get the boot like that? Of course, if players aren't good enough or giving 100% (ring any bells?), then's the writing's on the wall.
Pardew's roots are local, he played for Palace and there is a 'connection' - he doesn't carry a weight on his back of being a Londoner! He refused to sign a new contract before the end of the season (not sure if he has now) suggesting, I think, that it wasn't fair to do so until the Club was safe. Or would he have wanted out IF they had got relegated anyway? Some may feel it wasn't a confidence-booster to have him delay his commitment to the Club.But, yes, Palace had an absolutely terrible 2nd half of the season, bar a couple of wins, which meant they scraped through. Without the 1st half of the season and the points collected there, they would certainly be down. Excuses? - well there were things happening which made it seem a curse had been placed on the Club. Adebayor didn't work out. In my view, the Club should have splashed out on a quality striker in the transfer window - but no. They got away with it.
I've waffled on, but who knows? But it's clear to everyone associated with the Club that they must buy/strengthen, particularly one/two quality strikers, capable of scoring on a regular basis. The success or not in the transfer market may well determine Pardew's future - even if a local cult hero!

I find this rather surprising & am, personally, disappointed that it did not happen previously & allow him to go to ManU as manager.Paris St-Germain have sacked manager Laurent Blanc, with the former France defender receiving a £16.85m pay off from the club.
He would have been a far better 'fit' with the football style demanded than Jose will be I think..

Yes,its quite a surprise with PSG getting the domestic treble for the last couple of years but they have failed to get beyond the quarter finals of the Champions League for the last 4 years,which probably cost him......but if you haven't got the players to do the job ?
Its rumoured Sevilla coach Unai Emery will replace him at PSG.....good luck to him.

Well I suppose that the "Looney Tunes" result overnight has just wiped out all the advantage British teams had in the transfer market after the TV deal ..... win some then lose a lot more :-"

Obscene salaries and demands of inflated ego's and inflated prices. Is it my imagination or has the transfers announced and rumoured this season are out of control?
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan says the club were priced out of a move for Boca Juniors forward Carlos Tevez, 32, after they offered him £150,000 a week but he asked for £250,000 a week to return to his first English side next season. (Daily Mail)

Tottenham are interested in signing Newcastle's Giorginio Wijnaldum, according to the Sunday People.
The Dutchman, 25, is reportedly receiving interest from Liverpool and Everton to boot, with the newspaper also reporting that Newcastle want £30m.
Must be a signing for the future as he will be useless next season ......... he only scores at St James' Park

Newcastle have put a whopping £35m price tag on French Euro 2016 ace Moussa Sissoko. That is a fair chunk of change to stump up but Sky Bet make Arsenal the 3/1 favs to secure his signature before September 3.
Did someone mention "stupid money" the other day :-"

That's not a real headbutt Zid - on the chest? One of Rangers and Everton's finest shows the way. I'm wondering if this is part of his coaching role at Goodison 747. He got put inside for this.
