Leicester Ram Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 3 minutes ago, Charlie George said: Would love to read Nicholson's book when he retires.Clearly a very good local journo with an excellent knowledge of Derby County and understanding of football in general. But some of the stuff he throws out for the demands of his employer are horrendous.He must be privately embarrased and frustrated by it and is longing for his retirement date to come. Must be galling to work for so many years only see Ryan Conway show up with the dream job at the Athletic where he actually gets to write proper articles and be way more popular than Nicholson ever has been. If Nicholson put out a book I’d buy it very quickly though, I’m sure he’s got so great stories and some good insight. Shame his skill has been washed away with old media’s slow, slow death.

Abu Derby Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Alan Pardew at 50/1. Made me chuckle. Who makes up this tripe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Brolly Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I think I'll take a punt on advocaat before his odds start to snowball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 3 hours ago, David said: SkyBet have basically offered odds on all the Dutch managers they can think of ten Hag 3/1 Advocaat 4/1 van Gaal 6/1 Hiddink 9/1 Cocu 12/1 van Bronckhorst, Bosz 14/1 De Boer, Slot 16/1 McClaren 50/1 I would rule out Advocaat, van Gaal and probably Hiddink who is now 73 yrs old. So yes, ten Hag would be best bet. After that no reason at all why Philip Cocu wouldn't be a good option for the job. Even considering the historic ups and downs of the Dutch national team, it would be a walk in the park after the 2019-20 season at DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that's bad, Betfair apparently had Johan Cruyff at 16/1 to take the Barcelona job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he must know 99% of content is terrible, but all that matters are the clicks. Yep, it's a shame that everything has gone that way isn't it. It must be absolutely soul destroying for long serving old style journalists that this is what it's come to nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a bit of rivalry simply by being the most successful clubs over there, but plenty of players have represented both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
