And latter came with 3 league titles and 2 cup titles and a UCL semi final appearance whilst the former is an average ENGLISH manager with no real achievements. Huge emphasis on English.
I have a lot of respect for Simon and his broad knowledge, but he really really dropped the ball big time by judging Ten Hag by how his suit fitted him 😂
100%!! And I love how, now when ETH is brought up he always mentions that before someone else does and puts his own defensive spin on it. You're not covering up this one Simon. Just own it 😃😃😃
Yeah I know, right? A couple of games in, admittedly the worst start we could've had and he's saying the job is too big for Ten Hag. Well, that aged well didn't it 😄😄😄
Are you impressed with Dyche so far? What type of players do we need assuming we stay up? I love what he says about him and the DOF being aligned with their ideas and not signing players for the sake of it.
Sir, Potter needs a solution; Get three futuristic junior managers; Divide players into three groups: direct vertical high press Jupp Heyncks, German style; Tiki-Takka. High press Franco-Spanish style; Strong defensive style; With hard disciplined coaching work ! It’s realistically positively possible ! He needs a helping hand on his shoulder 🙏
Really like these, thanks Simon. You say Mason Mount carries £0 on the balance sheet (as he’s an academy graduate), is that bad for club finances/chairpersons? Does that make (e.g. Lukaku) less of a problem from an accounting perspective as he is an “asset” carrying value?
How much of Arsenals improvement of of form is down to their absence in the champions league this season, given their limited strengh in depth and how do you think champions league football will impact their next season ?
No pundit is perfect and as a pundit.. there will always be sections in the crowd that will disagree with what is said. But in terms of knowledge, presentation and logic... Simon is one of a kind. I am not a big fan of talk shows, that contain ex footballers and opinionated public figures expressing their opinions on a trending topic. But, when I hear Simon Jordan talking, I can tell he stands out from the rest!
That's unadulterated wisdom. I am blessed to have the opportunity to listen to your unbiased and constructive critiques on challenging issues and the wise perspectives for way forwards on those issues. Your opinions are divine. You are a mentor to some of us.
Simon as far as off side and var is concern,and the fact the wording is clear and obvious error do you think lines should be used to determine the out come in off sides?To me i think the var officals shoulf freeze the frame and if they can tell if the player is off or on they should stick with the onfield decision,this way the wording clear and obvious makes sense,but drawing lines would only make it so to the var fefrees not the onfield one,who is suppose to be in charge.
Why is American investment deemed okay but Qatari investment isn't? The Americans have their fingerprints all over many different global issues. Lazy journalism and hypocrisy.
Because it's private Sector. The Qatari investment is public, its their sovereign wealth fund. What your saying is like equating Jim Ratcliffe to the British goverment. Completely different things.
@@rickyfittss Make no mistake, the Qatar bid is state ownership. The biggest shareholder of the investment vehicle they're using is the Qatari sovereign wealth fund. They can brand the 'investment vehicle' whatever they want, it is clearly the state of Qatar that will own United.
Graham Potter is not only the worst Chelsea FC manager in the 118 years of the history. In 1978-79, Danny Blanchflower had relegated this club after replacing natives Ken Shellito, but he was an Irish. Almost a decade later, Chelsea had 2 managers at one season (John Hollins and Bobby Campbell), but neither of them managed to led the club to safe zone, as Chelsea were relegated through playoffs. Just to remember, those memories were too old, given that the Football League is the top flight English football and had 22 clubs in First Division.
Questions for Simon: Do you miss the time when football clubs were ‘Clubs’ in their community and not businesses? Do you think the football is actually better now than it was in the 90’s & 2000’s?
@@paulmanchip8116 maybe, but the blatant commercialisation and targeting of fans as ‘customers’ has never been more present and wages of £200k a week becoming normalised for less than average players compared to previous generations is a sad state of affairs. The game is going to crash when the multi billionaires of the world find a new toy to play with
Evening Simon, what's your views on Patrick Viera? He has built a new squad at Palace and plays very good football. Despite all that it feels as though he's not getting the credit he deserves. So what's your view on crystal Palace?
Because he didn’t build the squad (Dougie freedman did) and we didn’t play good football. We’ve gone backwards this year. We’ve been poor and he has some alarmingly bad performances this season. He won’t be at Palace by end of the year
@@quimmysaville6790 it's all gone a bit nuno espirito. At first people think this guy is a very good manager then after 18 months it looks a bit tired and you know anything above 10th is going to be difficult to achieve
Zaha is now being linked with moves to Saudi clubs. What do you think is the best move for him and for palace? And if he were to go where do you rank him among palace legends and would this move affect your answer?
Q: If we didn't want more billionaires in our league (PL), is it such a bad thing that other leagues can get that investment to improve for the sake of competition?
Currently you have to pay for BT Sports, Sky, & Amazon to watch football and even then you aren't able to watch all the games... What's stopping the Premier League having it's own "subscription" where you pay and can watch ALL games? Surely it's a no brainer? Or are the broadcast deals too important?
Those eye watering reasons for sacking Tuchel, are they worse than what has already been in the press (not answering calls, sending his agent in his place to meetings etc) or similar stuff? And were the reasons purely football related or includes things away from Chelsea and the owners? Cheers.
Question Simon - why are the media/ex pros continuing to defend David Moyes? He has spent 300million and the league form has been dreadful for 15 months.
How many more excuses No pre season, Was good at Brighton, Many injured, Not right players, too many players, it takes time to have the right style, Set piece coach is the problem, Injured players come back to soon, xg is improving, But he coached a win, can't sack him cause of financial fair play, But good behind the scenes work, The only sacking I did not like was Ancheloti but at least Abramovich was clear that the main thing is results. Abramovich was also sensitive to the supporters.
The One2One logo is basically the same as the old mobile company (now T Mobile) bar the colours. Do we know if this is allowed to be used for this purely cos Simon worked in the mobile phone industry?
Hi Simon - totally agree that the problem is not Haaland. Pep is simply midst a changeover and amongst others, Cancelo is certainly a big loss. Interesting times and City have the added problem of the Premiership this year - in addition to the Champions’ league. As a football purist - after all, Wenger was my first hero - it is not simply what they may win, rather how they play. Enjoy your shows, please keep up the good work. Peace and love James…x
Kevin from Japan - great show as always Simon. Question for you regarding Josh Taylor - did he bottle the Jack fight do you think? Is he scared of losing the belt in the rematch and that’s why he has gone for Lopez?
Worried!!?? What is talksport even talking about?? Chelsea fans are completely calm, composed and really satisfied, their team has only 1 win in 2023,0 goals scored in their last 7-8 matches, no settled starting line up, huge squad causing manager problems so there is absolutely nothing to worry about for Chelsea fans🙏👍
Are you going to write another book. But this time about how current Premier League Football Clubs should be run and changes needed by the league for it to be sustainable in the longer term
I agree on the Liverpool comment re Man City. .Liverpool were best team in world not just England late 70 and in 80s. 4 Euro Cups and one runner up. Loads league titles. Then players got old . It was not Souness's fault as manager. You cant do a rebuild and expect to continue success. Its difficult to keep going forever. Man U then took up the baton...then they disappeared after Fergie. Fergie won PL in last season I think yet they were crap. Milan were best team in Europe not just Italy then disappeared..likewise Juventus. Noone stays top forever.
Is it too late for Potter to bail from Chelsea and relieve us of Southgate's cluelessness with England...the way Rashford, Saka and now Sancho are beginning to play - let's not waste a great chance at Euro 2024. You've only got to look at Brighton to see that Potter is miles better than Pratgate as a coach.
100pounds on the chelsea hierarchy paying someone to throw that question in! No chelsea supporter would ask do you feel sorry for him or say o hope he keeps his job!!!!
As a united fan I would love Qatar to take over united but then looking at things and news I don’t think premier league or glazer will let that happen.
A body that seems obsessed with taking knees to somehow remove racism from a domestic sport that clearly does not have any or so little that makes no difference also pays no attention whatsoever to all kinds of horrors going on in countries such as Qatar. Words like corrupt, scumbags, disingenuous, treacherous, and hypocritical come to mind. Of course, one course of action would be to at least remove the word hypocritical from the list by stopping this taking-the-knee nonsense, but they have gotten away with it thus far, so why change?
after tonights panaroma program , can i ask simon will he stop drinking tea, will any of you, if yes then ok judge qatar like i have however i not drank tea of coffee since i was a kid lol , but after seeing how so many people high and mighty about the issues in qatar still but trainers made by 9 year olds on what 10pence a day still drink what 10 cups a tea a day , there are human right issues in your every day life but you wont give up nothing because it suits u not to , so just explaining hypocrisy
