Teaching is not about MEMORY. The 'Revie Plan' was developed while he was PLAYING for Man City so pre-dates your 'Jimmy Greaves golden era'.
I also think you need to know that just repeating something ad nauseum does not make an idea fact or evidence. Also lack of evidence is not the same as disagreeing with you.
Even your reply follows the same old pattern that something g is true merely because you assert it to be so.
Anyway, I'm stopping this there as I've been weak and assumed, once again, that you wanted a discussion but of course you don't. You just want a platform to repeat the same-old, same-old stuff about how it was so much better in your day and other comic book fantasy.
I'm open to any real, well-intentioned discussion but I've had enough of banging my head against your brick wall. I've always assumed the best of people but congrats, you've worn that out.

I feel for you Gazan. You are the one who keeps this forum alive, starts new threads amd responds to others.
I don’t often agree with Wartman and Luckour, but at least it’s a discussion, and the subjects and contents change
As for Mike. Unfortunately he’s the reason I don’t contribute much these days. It’s not a discussion. The sheer length of his posts, usually with long sentences and few paragraphs often puts me off reading them. They are a non reader friendly slog.
I echo all Gazan says above.

I am pretty much with Gazan. I don't comment much on here mainly because I can't be arsed arguing the same point over an over again. Frankly, it is tedious when there is so much more to discuss. The Academy has been a constant supplier of cheap players for so long I have lost count. Whether it is sustainable in its present form I couldn't possibly say, But to suggest coaching kids (and adults) in sort is laughable. I play competitive sport (well, I try to) and in the 50 years I have been playing I have learned from people who have been able to see what I am doing wrong. And to suggest Sir Alex Ferguson was never coached is ludicrous.

Good luck to Lee Bell. We have had a poor 2 years where the team was destroyed through no fault of the then manager and given the need to balance the books probably no one else's fault either. There are clearly youngsters coming through and we have to wait for them to get to a level where they can thrive in our team.

Carry on Gazan
