I think NS was noting similarity between Bradford and Roma's colours.

*Sigh* Here we go again. That's three successful managers in a row (Stendel, Struber) that have left us for better opportunities elsewhere. That's how football goes I know, but the speed in which they leave us is galling. I just don't have any connection to any manager now. They're just stop gaps in The Plan. Eventually we'll get a bad one (like Morais) and the whole pack of cards will come tumbling down.
West Brom will get a manag... sorry, head coach, who demands constant energetic direct football. It's not pretty but they'll never complain that their team didn't give everything.
Barnsley will get a new head coach that none of us will have heard of. I won't expend much energy finding out much about him or even learning how to spell his name, as he'll be gone soon enough.

It's an interesting kind of ugly though.
I particularly liked their tactic of running their front three into the ground by manically pressing and substituting all of them after an hour for their replacements to do exactly the same for the rest of the game. It worked a treat against Brentford and all I could think at the end of the game was fair play to Ismael.
If they could have got past Swansea, he might have been a Premier League manager now.

Thanks for that!
I think one of the under reported aspects of our 'success' last season was the increased substitutions rule. The day the rule came out, Ismael said that it would help our team and then he did exactly what you've said - game after game. The surprising thing to me was that no one seemed to copy our approach when it became obvious that a) we seemed to have more energy than everyone else and b) this lasted for the entire game.

This makes no sense, what's he achieved at Fulham with a considerable amount of money?
Steve Cooper is again the favourite to land this job. I've got very mixed feelings on him, I dislike the way he makes us play but he's seriously over achieved as a manager. I doubt he can make the play offs three seasons in a row and expect him to leave for a better opportunity.

Rafa Benitez to Everton is an interesting one. Would be the first to manage both Liverpool clubs since Liverpool's founding as an Everton splinter group (Everton's manager William Barclay stayed with the new club).
