Anybody think that Wilder is helping to change attitudes about British managers and British players in the P.L.?

Even Watford have looked for a British saviour at long last to lead them out of trouble.

Bruce at Toon after Benitez.

Leicester, Rodgers after Puell.

Lampard after Sarri.

There's a mini- revolution going on and our manager and his success is playing a full part in it. Lampard doing well with British kids too.

And foreign players are proving less and less value. It seems that £50m buys are just speculative these days. Any number of flops are no doubt causing wringing hands and furrowed brows in boardrooms. Will they be so eager to write those big cheques in future?

Maybe such as Pellegrini, Farke, Spton manager will be feeling a little vulnerable when our manager is achieving so much on a modest budget. Dyche has done it for years, Howe also. Will P.L. boards think they don't have to throw big managerial salaries at foriegn managers, some of whom can"t even communicate with their players fluently.

British players and managers are showing their value at long last and our manager is right up there flying the flag. There will be more and even top clubs will be watching and wondering.
 



The responses to your OP contain less words than the title. Not your best post eh mate,
 
Interesting that you would post this thread when there is currently another thread of yours stating ‘Wilder is unwelcome in the P.L’

Which one is it?

Have a read of the other o.p., it said the same thing.

This is how it should have read. The other one paid too much respect to readers, took too much for granted with the written word.

Provided a few drops of blood in the water, sharks don"t rest on Xmas Day it seems, they have to feed😁

I've read both threads now and I think they are about the same thing...

Anger. Probably linked to low testosterone levels, but made worse by such things as:

defeat in the egg and spoon race on school sports day, a lowly examination grade, critical parents, a menial job where efforts went unappreciated, a missed promotion, jilted lovers, a partnership that went septic, financial jeopardy, unreliable friends, an estranged family, fading health, a feeling of a lack of personal fulfilment.

There was a good article I read a while ago and it said there are 7 ways to spot if you are becoming a grumpy old person:

1. You refuse to make new friends
2. Clothes exist for function not fashion
3. Technology refuses to co-operate with you
4. You have replaced conversation with complaints
5. Leaving the house becomes unnecessary trouble
6. You baulk at the "so-called" evolution of language
7. You just don't care

It comes to all of us does old age. I'm a young whippersnapper in my early 60's. I can still run, cycle, weight-train down the gym, climb trees, play conkers, play football, have sex several times a week (sometimes including other people in it). ;)

I saw my eldest brother start to turn into an old man about 10 years ago now. He stopped listening to pop music. He stopped wearing fashionable clothes. He lost interest in travelling abroad. He bought a caravan. And eventually...he started playing crown green bowls.:oops: (death knell imo!).

This was the start of it.

After that, it wasn't long before he started wearing cardigans and corduroy trousers.

He stopped going out to restaurants for meals.

Everything became a "rip off" and a "bloody racket".

He became very short tempered and irritable about the slightest thing. He seemed happiest when arguing. These are all signs that the chemical that gave you splendid boners in your younger years, but has since made your hair fall out, is now disappearing at quite a rate and without it you are turning into a grumpster!

His wife, God bless her, has learned that the best thing to do with him is just ignore him when he's like that - and occasionally he'll snap out of it and become the nice person we all know he is, for a short while anyhow! But more often than not, he'll find something to drag up, to try and salvage some kind of victory over his perceived adversaries. And, like a dog with a bone, he will not let it go. He'll shake it and rip it and snarl at it, until it is completely destroyed.

I'm uncomfortably intrigued by your eldest brother.

Has he ever considered appearing on Long Lost Family?

I hope your family learned how to help him through it all. How did you help him in your own way? There are people like him all around us and Xmas is one of the most difficult periods. Allied with poverty and unhelpful family and neighbours it is hell on earth I am sure. We look around and try to help, do you? ( Not just you Ceb, all members).

No, I don't think so. But, funnily enough, I was writing a letter of complaint the other day to the BBC, to complain about them taking "Points of View" off the air, as I now have no outlet for my complaints about TV, when an idea crossed my mind. I suggested to them that they really should be trying harder to compete with ITV and their "Long Lost Family" show, by having the equivalent on BBC, but, with a bit of a twist. I think there should be a programme where you can disunite members of your family and send them a long bloody way away, so you never have to see them again. I think it would be a winner!👍

I exercised a bit of journalistic licence there Woody! ;) He's not totally like that. But, he definitely has got far less interested in lots of things and he did once buy a caravan, which I thought was a very bad sign, and he does play crown green bowls! (Marbles for owd folk if you ask me!).

It's a fair question you ask though. I'm the youngest, by some years, of 3 sons. I've always been the one that's kept the whole family together for some reason. It was my parents wish that we should always support each other - and we have done, even though we have little in common perhaps. Maybe it's easier for me because my two brothers grew up together a few years apart, sibling rivalry an' all that, whereas I came much later when they were adults, just about. I've not been able to do much about my two brothers' broken marriages and estranged children though. They engineered that one themselves. Although I am still close to their ex-wives, nieces and nephew, and I meet with both sides of the broken families, though they aren't on speaking terms with each other. I'm sort of an interpreter, when they ask questions like..."what's that old bugger up to?".

I don't see much of either of my brothers as they live at opposite ends of the country. But, we do all meet up, once a year, to have a meal at some fine hostelry in middle England! I organise that. If I didn't, it would never happen, simple as. In fact, it's tomorrow. (We normally meet on the Sunday after Christmas, but t' Blades are playing at Man City and I'm not missing that bugger for t' family!). ;)

In retirement we have channelled our efforts towards older people charities and it's very rewarding, if a bit repetitive to be honest.

What occurs to me on this forum though is the amount of time fathers with young children spend on here. Every day you see mothers and fathers on phone screens when they are out and about and their kids look so glum; they always need attention and the sight of the parent's phone is immediately a signal of lack of that attention. The kids know full well.

I'm sure Liverpool want to rip up van Dijk and Allison's contracts and go back to the comedy club they were two years ago

Was it Toure, Lovren and Sakho before?

Gomez is a Londoner😏 Arnold and Robertson, Milner pretty good.
