My take on the Head Coach search
-
Just as an aside for you guys, i'm a supporter of the soccer team that Randy Lerner bought in England - and basically every fan is now calling for a new owner, someone who is interested, turns up to games and will put some money in; and that the reason we can't attract good players is because there's no ambition at the club.
I thought some of you might like the irony in that

It is not ironic at all. Why should a leopard change its spots? That said, Randy should have plenty of money now that he sold the Browns.
His problem there may very well be the same as his problem here was: Not being able to find the right person to run his team.

Haha, Randy Lerner is a bitch.

I think the big problem he had was the first guy he hired, he signed a load of players for big money on big wages that failed to perform. Since then we've basically been running at a loss and he's reluctant to put much more big money in. Plus there's the nature of the league - there's no parity involved, if you have lots of money, you're free to spend it how you want. He's a billionaire, sure, but only worth a couple of billion. The big kids on the block are worth hundreds of billions (one team is backed by the royal family of abu-dhabi) and think nothing of pumping in half a billion over 2 years.

That is how baseball is run here.
To me, if Randy really wanted to get his soccer rocks off....and if he can't really compete in that league over there, then he should invest in the MLS here.....and put a team in Cleveland. He could be a big shot in that league, something he cannot apparently be in England.

Damn near. I'm 67 & the Browns WERE one of the dominant teams in the 50s & 60s......UNTIL Modell. That's when it started downhill. They were also a very entertaining team many years later, but woeful since "the return". It's unfortunate you seem to have no GOOD memories.
Mike...I may be old, but I'm sure as hell not dead!!
Good stuff, Mike.
Anyone that is old enough to have any memories of the Bernie Bernie Dawpound years knows how magical Cleveland is when it has a good football team.
Some might be just old enough to remember the 94 team, and they at least have that.
I really feel bad for the early 30's and under crowd, the poor bastards haven't seen shit, and they are still loyal.
This fanbase is going to EXPLODE if we ever get this thing right.
I live over 1,200 miles from Cleveland and we had over 100 people at our Browns Backer bar when we were 4-5, coming off that win against Baltimore and playing Cincinnati. By the end of the season it was just us 50 or so diehards again, but even that is impressive.
I became a fan at a very young age, and Leroy Kelly and Bill Nelson were still playing. I was a teenager through the Kardiac Kids, and was in my early twenty's partying years through the Dawgpound era.
I was thirty years old when we last won a playoff game in 1994 and now I am going to be fucking 50 this year.
Twenty years with Nothing ... three of them with no damn team.
My hat is off to all Browns fans, especially the old ones that stick with the team and the young ones that have blind faith that has never been rewarded.
Our day is coming. And it is going to be SWEET,
Did you read about the Steeler fan that suing the league because his 8-8 team didn't make the playoffs?
Let's all be glad we aren't Steeler fans. Damn glad
Week 15 ... Browns eliminated from playoffs, five game losing streak, playing the Bears for absolutely nothing ... Steelers clinging to playoff hopes, playing division rival, first place Cincinnati:
Browns Attendance: 71,513
Steelers Attendance: 45,873
Eat a dick, Pittsburgh.

Wow that's sad. You can't tell since the court documents are scanned in black and white, but they are probably wrote in crayon.
Good stuff from you too, Zombo.

Same with my team Spurs. Seems I can't get away from underachieving teams with questionable owners !

I'd love for the villa to be as underachieving as spurs. Give it time, and someone that isn't Tim Sherwood as manager, and you lot will be fine.

A lot of fans of other teams say that but we've been run like a business for too long, every time we get close we auction off the players to the highest bidder.
Mind you that's probably a discussion for another forum lol

Well, if you will support the yids
I do think that selling Bale was the right move, though, AVB just tried to replace him too quickly with too many players that will need time to settle. Lamela already on his way out on loan?It'll be a cold day in hell before Zombo creates a soccer forum on this board!

He has created a soccer thread in the Barber Shop section. So don't be surprised if these posts end up moved over there.
This is, after all a football forum, not a futbol forum.

I would say that this guy epitomizes the Pittsburgh Steeler fan base: A. He is in prison. B. He is borderline illiterate C. He is spoiled like a child C. He is ignorant of the fact that a dozen other calls in various games probably went the Steelers way to even get them into a position to being in contention. If he wants this call overturned, then they should overturn all the calls that went the Steelers way so that they would end up like 4-12....thus making his motion moot.

Is this where we have to repost Canton Mike's and Zombo's posts to
get back to the subject of the thread?
