    Thats exactly wot i was thinking, Nathan jones would be my choice .
    I was just hoping for someone with Championship managerial experience. Or even top League One. Or even...Prem! Never had much expectation of either though!

    One thing I'm surprised hasn't been covered (not from the majority of the thread I've read) is regarding the style of play, now from reading a few bits and bobs he seems to use a big target man to distribute to the wings, quite a bit of long ball football, just a 'usual' football team. Now does pushing Riga & co. out the door push Cogitraining out the door? This will have a huge impact on Poyet staying I should imagine.. anyone shed some light on anything aforementioned?

    To be fair he went there half way through the season and one of their best players was a 6'6 Serbian striker so you play to he's strengths , Iv heard that he usually likes to get the ball down and play and he likes a lot of wing play but who knows how we will play come August .

    Many Seagull supporting m8s would gladly drive him back to VFR - it's all about opinions and perceptions!

    Because we're not a Belgian club.

    Yes, because the last 4 British coaches we have appointed have all been such great successes. Time for a change.
    That's very selective. Powell was a success.

    I can't find anything positive about my club appointing 2-bob, apart from maybe saving £50-a-week in wages which to be fair is more than they are losing from me not bothering going so they're still quids in. Good luck to them

    Off topic, but I enjoyed reading down this thread and finding an advert asking, 'Are you a Liverpool fan?'
    The clue is in the forum name, chaps.

    Bit of a mystery the signing in registration thing. Maybe admin can shed some light on the March 11 sign up date.

    English the language of love. Thats nice. Gaaf as the Dutch might say (probably spelled that wrong). Which Spanish team does your girlfriend support (if she likes football) ? Her Belgium team is yours, I am sure.

    With no disrespect to Belgium football, my opinion is that the top 3 to 4 of the Belgium league would in the championship top half, maybe the next 4 in the championship lower half, the lower would be first first division and the belgium second division you are looking at lower league one. The Belgium football I have wathhed is a completley slower pace and intensity. It is my impression that the there is a lot of underestimation of the strength of the Championship in the Belgium league.

    You can see that in the players that Roland brought over earlier on in the season. I am concerned that Bob Peeters knows what he is getting into. I only hope that Roland / and the unnamed football advisors leave him with some decent players and not some kids / second string network players / and unnamed triers. It is a massive gamble, again.

    He signed up on March 11 2014, that's all. If it was March 11, 2011, or any year previous to this one, then it would have the year.

    Girlfriend really HATES football :)

    i dunno how to compare belgian football to the championship. In the championship the budgets are a lot higher in than in the belgian league, tv income is only a fraction of what clubs in the uk get and the owners of the club don't tend to invests like bags of money into their clubs as some owners in the UK do. But the quality of players produced in the belgian league is really not substandard. Clubs try and survive financially by selling their top players to bigger clubs here.

    Your opinion that "the top 3 to 4 of the Belgium league would in the championship top half" implies that the top 2 in the championship would have a big chance of becoming first and second in belgium as well and thus qualify for the champions league.

    If you look at the champions here:
    when RC Genk became champions there best players were Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, Benteke . they got sold after they became champions
    When Standard became champions and their best players Steven Dufour (now Porto), Bonfim Dante ( brazilian intrenatiol, plays for Bayern munich now), axel witsel (benfica after that Zenit) - Marouane Felaini. All got sold after they became champions, also their striker duo Jovanonic-Mbokani got sold.

    So clubs do have to sell their best players, but it's not like you can win the title in belgium with a bunch of muppets.

    You also think that besides the top 4, the 12 other clubs in belgium would be likely relegated or are just league 1 level.

    The difference between top teams and lower teams in belgium isn't that big as you suggest. A lot of games are very close and the champions this year, Anderlecht, lost 9 out of 30 games during the regular season.

    It is very difficult to compare leagues, based on european results last 5 seasons uefa rates the leagues as follows - http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2014.html

    i guess the championship, together with segunda division in spain - 2. Bundesliga in germany - serie B in italy and league 2 in France can compete with the leagues ranked 7-th till 12th, with championship and 2. bundesliga imo being the strongest of those leagues.
