Imagine a coach in the NBA saying he doesn't believe in his players shooting the three. That man would be IMMEDIATELY fired

Like, fam, you got hundreds of thousands of results telling you otherwise. Please evolve

What astounds me though, is that it's been 160 some odd years since association football was created, and in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty four, the English still think it's improper to pass the ball around

When they started getting all them Scots and playing a little Tiki-Taka 1905 style

I watched a video about Blackburn the other day and the English would say that's how they knew who was paying their players in the amateur days

and man eventually adapted lol

then scotland started mashing them up, bopping it around them

passing the ball was considered cowardly

like in the early days

a lot of it boiled down to arrogance

yeah inverting the pyramid talks about that

Imagine making up a brand new sport right now and being second best at it after you explain it to someone for the first time

And they created the fucking game and rules...

It's not even a recent thing. Even back in the early days of the game in the 1880s, people had more success with non-English managers

Moved to Huddersfield riding on cloud nine. Got sacked. Went to Portsmouth, sacked again. Now at Colchester United with 4 wins since January, probably looking at another sacking

There was this lower leagues savant, Danny Cowley, a few years ago

It's really interesting the English manager phenomenon thinking more about it

considering his relationship with Ashworth

he might be

but for like squad building and being protected by the club

icl though idk if Potter is the manager to win you a league

McKenna obviously being talked about now

Howe is probably the highest profile one rn

i remember when Garry Monk was trending

there have been some names

yhh
