fish mitten Chelmsford 29 Jun 21 1.17pm
A friend of mine went to Viera's wedding when he was at Arsenal. He was friends with his wife and also went to his house a couple of times. Despite his reputation on the pitch at the time, he said he was a great guy, very down to earth. At his wedding, the Arsenal players were all sat on separate tables so they were with the other guests. My friend has Dennis Bergkamp on his table and was trying to persuade him to sign for West Ham (who he supports) as he was nearer the end of his career. Evidently Bergkamp just laughed when he said West Ham. Not sure what he will be like as a manager as not followed his career much. It's a bit of a gamble, but it seems whoever we take on now is a gamble. I always favoured Dyche or Howe, as they have that experience, but having played here so long and being a relatively big name in football terms, I think it could be an exciting appointment.

Wow, this is a shock. Can't pretend I was happy to hear it but looking at his record on Wiki, it's not all that bad. He had three seasons at New York City and improved their position every year. Then at Nice he took over from Favre and actually got them to finish a place higher than Favre managed the previous season. However, seems as though things went to pot a bet after that and he was sacked. If it's done then lets just throw our support behind him and hope his name has enough weight to attract some decent players. Still won't believe it until the club announce it, however. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

It says in one article that Vieira was 'Sacked by Nice following a run of five straight defeats in all competitions'. Or 'September' as we like to call it at Palace. Edited by TheBigToePunt (29 Jun 2021 1.23pm)

Originally posted by acepal All we will be doing, if he's any good will be grooming him for the Arsenal job. When thats available he will jump ship straight away. Agree. This will either be another FDB situation, or another Steve Bruce situation.

Originally posted by dazza I did bet on Favre at 66/1 & Lampard at 15/1 but only put a fiver PV as was not confident in the information passed. I had put £50 on Favre & Lampard. But you only have one open bet,that would be the Viera bet,the others would still be open.
