The Sky Bet Football League Thread 2013/14

[Adam]

Not sure why he's gone to Wigan if he has ambitions of managing in the premier league

More likely to get there with Wigan than Brentford tbf.

Maybe now he can put that penalty out of his mind and be dogged no more of the biggest nearly moment of all time.

[Lineker]

Richie Barker is the new Portsmouth manager, and Steve Coppell as Director of Football.

[Lineker]

Brentford's director of football Mark Warburon is now their new manager.

David Flitcroft is the new Bury manager.

Yossi Benayoun has joined QPR until the end of the season.

[Emperor DC]

Flitcroft is a good appointment for Bury.

That club, with its limited resources is always going to struggle and he did not disgrace himself by any means.

QPR unveil plans for new 40,000-seat stadium

[Matt]

GFHC have agreed to sell (possibly have already sold) the club to an as of yet unnamed party but they have no connection to any former owners or players. The two most likely candidates are Red Bull and the original consortium that GFH were supposed to be brokering for last year before Bates fucked them off. Either way we've been promised riches once more, hopefully it happens this time. The deal is expected to go through on the 23rd of this month because of some clause that said GFHC couldn't sell a controlling stake within one year, not sure how true that is though.

It also explains the rumours that we've agreed deals for Nahki Wells, Tommy Rowe and Callum Wilson.

[Adam]

If it is Red Bull, are they going to continue their trend of sticking their brand name into the name of clubs they own?

Red Bull Leeds United or Leeds Red Bulls sounds good

[Matt]

Not allowed sponsor names by FA rules fortunately, otherwise I've little doubt they would. I'd just expect us to be sponsored by them and have the stadium renamed the Red Bull Arena which is fine by me because I'll still call it Elland Road.

[Berober]

I would imagine that if Red Bull took over Leeds, they would do something similar to their Leipzig team and rename Leeds to RB Leeds, where RB stands for something arbitrary (for Leipzig it is RasenBallsport, which just means 'lawn ball sports') while it's still pretty obvious that RB is meant to mean Red Bull.

[King Ellis]

Leeds, ReallyBad

[Matt]

Hey Adam (and Bad Eddie, I guess)

He scores when he wants, he scores when he waaaaants, he's Ross McCormack, he scores when he wants.

[EddieG]

I'm not in Donny, I don't care ya tosser.. oh wait.

Shouldn't have changed my pick in 16.

[METALMAN]

Big Franco Zola has resigned! All of Linkles teams are losing their managers because he is a bastard!

[Lineker]

I'm not entirely convinced that it's related to my bastard status.

Zola did need to go, though.

[Matt]

#pray4eddiehowe?

[Lineker]

Howe is pretty much untouchable.

[METALMAN]

You spoke too soon!

[Lineker]

Barnsley have reappointed Danny Wilson as their manager, 15 years after he left the club.

[Dan]

I would imagine that if Red Bull took over Leeds, they would do something similar to their Leipzig team and rename Leeds to RB Leeds, where RB stands for something arbitrary (for Leipzig it is RasenBallsport, which just means 'lawn ball sports') while it's still pretty obvious that RB is meant to mean Red Bull.

Maybe they could hire former RedBull Brasil manager Argel Fucks

[Rafael]

Fuck Argel, I hate him.
