So very sorry to hear this. Sad news, I wish you well.

 

Dear Smithy, so very sorry to hear your sad news. It is such a difficult time to endure. Thinking of you, with all good wishes. God Blessx

 

So sorry for your loss, Smithy. Thoughts are with you mate x

 

Sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how it must feel after such a long time together.

 

After reading this and not really having much interaction with you i wasn't sure how to take it.

Now i have read on all i can say is really sorry for your loss Smithy, will be in my thoughts tonight (i don't pray)

 

I am sad to hear of your loss Smithy. My condolences to you and your loved ones.

 

So sorry for your loss
Stay strong and well smithy

 

Terrible news, my thoughts are with your family and you.

 

Sorry for your loss

 

Yeah I feel a bit for Doherty, he was signed but then asked to play in a very different way to what he was used to.

 

Jose doing what Jose does, asking the board to provide better players

asked whether Tottenham's slump was related to his style of management, Mourinho replied: "No, not at all. Mine and my coaching staff's methods are second to nobody in the world.

"I think for a long, long time, we have problems in the team that I cannot resolve by myself as a coach."

 

I don't interpret this as a nudge to the Board for more players. He's alluding to problems within the team that a coach alone cannot solve. We can only speculate what these problems are.

 

Well if there are problems within the team that a coach can't solve then who can?

 

Sorry to hear this Smithy

RIP your wife

 

Jose being Jose and blaming anyone but himself as usual.

I enjoyed seeing this farce and his media meltdowns when he was Chelsea manager (twice) and at Utd but seeing his poison drip into the club I love is painful.

Praying for the nightmare to be over soon

 

Sorry to hear of your loss mate. I hope you're holding up well.

 

Sorry Smithy

 

Levy? I understand a football "coach" doesn't have the remit of a more conventional manager and is limited by what he can do? This would support some of us suggesting that a DoF would be beneficial and would avoid the need for players to go blabbing to Levy!

There are many potential reasons that he could be alluding to but yes, my understanding is that if any problems are not within his remit or powers, then Levy is the next man up which presents all kinds of issues.

 

Sorry to hear that Smithy.

 

So sorry to read that Smithy, please accept my condolences.

And thanks for the reminder of what's really important and how trivial football really is.
