My grandson, reading Medieval History suggests that Clive Tydesley should be more correctly, being of Plantagenet stock, Clive De Tyseley, making him one of us.
I saw that video on Twitter earlier. It was two and a half minutes of him saying that he wasn't bitter whilst spending two and a half minutes sounding bitter.
Quote from: Newby on July 14, 2020, 11:44:46 AMWe were promoted a year ahead of schedule apparently, and I wonder if Purslow thought that Dean would make the necessary changes/management improvements over a couple of years and be able to cope with life in the Premier Division? This is perhaps the reason he hasn't been fired? Given Dean had no management experience of top flight football, perhaps it isn't a surprise to Purslow that we aren't doing as well as we might, given the whole new squad thrown in too. I wonder if Purslow is thinking that Smith is the right man to bring us back up and that his year in the Prem will stand him in good stead? I'm hypothesising of course. Purslow is a far better businessman than I am and I would have sacked Dean Smith already, perhaps wrongly as Dean may get better with experience. Time will tell. My guess would be Purslow is well aware he's been handed a bunch of players simply not fit for purpose in the PL given our particular circumstances.

Yes it is the six foot four Chatteris slugger. In the footsteps of Dave Boy Green.
Tyldesley hasn't been sacked. Just demoted to number 2. His sob story is on twitter. ITV are bastards though. They could have waited till he was next in Barcelona and phoned him up at 9 or 10 PM with the news.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYClive shouts orgasmically, as Rooney promptly scuffs it out for a throw in.

However, he is 65, has probably made a shed load of cash over the last 22 years, enjoyed himself with travelling etc on a large expense account, garnered a good reputation (with some) but now is the time to move on and let a younger guy or gal take over. Nothing wrong with the decision in my view and I can say that as a mid 50 something myself. Sometimes you've got to move on after a great run and let someone younger make their own careerHis comments today are as self centred as his commentary normally is
