« J’ai bien discuté avec le président de Valenciennes. Mais pour l’instant, j’ai préféré ne pas donner suite », a annoncé à 20 Minutes le technicien.

Pablo correa turns down the manager's job at Valenciennes.

Valenciennes have parted company with their manager,  Faruk Hadzibegic, according to yesterday's "La Voix du Nord", and are interested in Pablo correa and Réginald Ray. The problem is that Correa, who has expressed interest in the post at Valenciennes, "appears to have been in England at the weekend, studying other propositions..."

Valenciennes are expected to name their new manager on Thursday at the latest, the day before their home game against Tours.

Nancy have until the 8th of October to conclude severance with Pablo Correa, after which time they will be liable to a 15,000€ fine per match (Vincent Hognon, who has all his coaching diplomas, will officially become manager 1 month to the day after Correa's suspension. To have 2 managers on the books is a breach of law).

Compensation will be huge - Correa's salary wasn't indexed to relegation so he stayed on 40,000€ per week and his contract runs until the end of the 2018-19 season...

"Fifty shades of shite - the official history of Rochdale Football club".

Theresa May has made a (good) speech with which I agree mainly, but not wholly. In any case, it has probably won her the election - if that has not already been won.

To broaden the geopolitical spectrum somewhat, it is surprising that France escaped this wave of terrorism during her Presidentials, given that roughly 10 times more French have died over the last twelve months at the hands of barbaric so-called 'Islamic martyrs' than have Brits - including the horrors perpetrated in Manchester.

If the current modus operandi of Jihadists is anything other than disparate (and I've no idea whether this is the case or not), then one could imagine that a concerted effort by them, on the UK, post Brexit, is not inconceivable, in the way a wolf-pack would separate sheep from the flock. I would assume that the big cheeses at ISIS are as far removed from everyday life as Paul Dacre is at the Daily Mail, so any attempt to destroy the English way of life would seem a reasonably goal given the symbolism of Anglo-saxon culture in the post-modern world. The question is, do we sacrifice all by blindly lashing out (as was the case when we (erroneously) invaded Iraq in 2003, thus largely fueling the current resentment against the 'west'), or do we strive to preserve our democratic ideals at all cost?

I'd have let him have a 20 foot run up for that.

Don't be cruel.

Train ticket should cost about 30, love.

Leicester.

Bitterness due to losing Alan Young to Leicester under the then-new 'Freedom of Contract' - and not helped by their fans destroying the Rochdale Road End during a night match. Was always feisty after that for many years.

All day and all of the night

lol! a

He's awaiting sentencing (which is happening tomorrow) for assault of an Elvis impersonator.

Can't help falling in love with him after reading that. No matter what suspicious minds think of Stokes, I say sign him, It's now or never.

The comments on here would be vitric, we'd bay for their blood!

Ultimately they should be more fruitful than a single 'Cook Report' style interview. IMO the door is still wide open.

We have to believe NNN when he says it's an ongoing thing. The more meetings, the more rewarding the dialogue. The danger now is that these 6 fans may throw the towel in, and who could blame 'em?

It's no wonder politics are so :censored:ed up. Nobody in their right mind would want to face such dogs abuse for trying to make a difference!

"OWTB topsy-turvy helterskelter ride from tin-pot to Champions League and back in just 8 pages shock horror!"

Anyway, we can conclude that the atmosphere's decent and the ground looks pretty full when there's a 7,000 crowd. Imagine home games at the Ricoh?

 

Perfect chips, cheese and onion pie the best ever known to mankind and jam rolly polly pudding and custard to die for.

All this followed after lunch by a visit to BP to watch Alan Groves destroy defences.

Mind you, the Chinese restaurant at the bottom of Yorkshire Street, I think it was The New Moon was pretty good too

To this day I'll never know how that chippy was so damned good! If I remember right, the chease and onion pie was sold in slices, pizza style?

There also used to be a bakers on London Road, Derker, that sold the most to-die-for egg and sausage buts on oven-bottoms. Dribbling at the thought...

For a poultry 100m? I'd cry fowl.

I for one would like to give him a big hand for the commitment he showed.

Exceptions to the rule. Since 1992, only current champions Leicester and Blackburn (94-95), have wrested the title from the big 4.

Two things to remember here-

1/ Perception of Latics' historical importance depends not only on stats, but on the age of the particular "viewer". It's not surprising that younger fans associate us with the big time, we were genuinely good when football was being seared upon their youthful conscience. For me, a little more mature, Leeds and derby will always be giants. For those of even greater patina, it may be Wolves, Preston North End, or Blackpool. A club like Rochdale, who have never even known a purple patch, do not suffer from "Fallen Giant Syndrome", their fans are for the most part happy and contented just to be in the football league. We used to be like Rochdale until Big Joe came and :censored:ed things up.

2/ The Championship is very reminiscent of the old First Division whilst the Premier League is very much the Utd./City/Arsenal/Chelsea show with sacrificial lambs thrown in. Although not really quantifiable, it could be argued that League 1 is equivalent to old Division 2 (I know, that last bit, I'm struggling too).

Don't know if their worth anything but mine's clear with yeast floaters in the bottom!

Came from the post-promotion Civic Centre celebration and player's lash-up, for which I managed to wangle tickets.

Barn find. Never been used.

Edit - great minds think alike!

I read many players preferred to play locally in those days and refused offers to play higher with faraway clubs as for money and uprooting the family reasons it just wasn't worth it.

Hence a levelling out in quality of the leagues.

Hence City being like a larger scaled version of Latics.

I remember watching the documentary "City" and being surprised that as late as 1981, even a big club like City was almost wholly "Northern".
