Insufficiently corrupt for 2018 World Cup bid

198

The prospect of watching the world’s greatest players on home soil at the 2030 World Cup, with the announcement of a joint bid by British and Irish FAs, is tempered by the realisation that it would provide flag waving political types of various colours more opportunities to distract attention from their day jobs.

The English FA bid for the 2018 tournament but the UK government was insufficiently corrupt at the time to garner enough support from the Fifa executive.  A great deal of work has since gone into upgrading politicians corruption status across the UK, so the Scottish, English, Welsh, Irish and N. Irish FAs will be hopeful their governments can cut it with the best Banana Republics out there.

Perhaps harsh but not without foundation.

  1. Happy to hear that Steve Clarke has ruled himself out as I don’t think he could adapt to attacking football every game. I’m now convinced our best option is David Wood as DOF and Eddie Howe as manager. They’ve worked together so can get on. I’d push the boat out for them. Regarding players out on loan I’d only be interested in a return for Jack Hendry, the rest I’d let go. But if you had a DOF in real soon he could run his eye over loanees and out on loanees. That would be helpful.

  2. Bada they were bang on and miles in front with their

     

    “Don’t Fall Asleep At The Wheel” Banner

     

    Maybe a return of the tarpaulin stand and poor

     

    ST sales will worry the board more than the GB.

     

    A redesign might take money they do not wish to

     

    spend at this time. Make Tarpaulins two-over

  3. Every day it seems we get more evidence, or at the very least a reminder, of how badly run we are as a club, this article https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/five-problems-for-new-boss-to-solve/

     

    is a prime example and has seriously put me on a downer.

     

     

    The thought of those 5 (maybe except the CH since we don’t have any) to join the weak squad we have is seriously depressing. If the article is correct we start next season with four first team players, Turnbull, Soro, Taylor, Mcgregor.

     

     

    What a mess we are in. Maybe getting a management team in place before the Euro play offs would help? What do you think?

  4. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Mickybhoy- given the last few months, I don’t think money will be a consideration for DD ,if he decides to chase them.HH
