Sheaf, Bidwell, Eccles and Collins would all get into the playoff final team as well - three of them did!

It is concerning to say the least that someone who admitted to having no interest in the game as recently as two years ago is apparently using his own football judgment to decide on transfer policy.

Which three?

It’s just a Man Utd fan site - no real record of breaking news Given it’s the type of rumour that’s almost impossible to substantiate one way or the other I would say this is bollocks

Haven’t seen this posted elsewhere yet - Big Doug has weighed in on Stamenic and the midfield: Doug King on Ben Sheaf, Marko Stamenic and Coventry City’s midfield numbers

Carsley’s reputation is close to zero without his work with England.

They’ll just do recess appointments.

Honestly don’t remember this game, but you can relive the match thread here (all two pages of it): England Fans

Well apparently some people are saying that!

I get that they’ve tried to add some stakes to the tournament but I just can’t bring myself to care. Can you imagine the country coming to a standstill for the Nations League final? Open top bus parades if we won?

I don’t have any Spanish or Portuguese friends so I don’t know if it was a night for the history books there Personally I would rank an England Nations League title somewhere below a decent goalless draw for CCFC.

Fans/bookies will consider pretty much any former player who’s still in management - there’s no other reason why he should be in the running, it’s just nostalgic narrative-building.

Did they really care that much?

He was an elite player for sure. An elite manager?

23/24 after 15 games - 5 of the top 6 finished there 22/23 after 15 games - 3 of the top 6 finished there 21/22 after 15 games - 3 of the top 6 finished there 20/21 after 15 games - 4 of the top 6 finished there So clearly you can make up the ground at this stage of the season - but as I said...

So what you’re saying is that fewer than half of teams finishing in the playoff spots typically do so after surmounting the kind of points gap that we need to bridge? We could also, of course, end up as one of the teams that gets supplanted by a team below us going on a great run too.

If every team routinely made up 8 point gaps on each other from this stage of the season then the final league table won’t look remotely like it does now. Whereas I’m willing to bet there will be some pretty strong correlation to the current state of play.

They usually don’t though.

I think the risk of hiring Carsley is much more tilted in our direction. I doubt he will get a much better career option than us once he leaves the U21s job. Think a media role is more likely tbh.
