BisQo's Agenda

Now that the tournament is over and a few days have gone by there is room for an open and honest discussion on what we've seen and how we should move forward. This England team has done a great job both at the world cup and at the current euro's but have failed to climb the final hurdle. Sceptics are free to look at the comfortable fixture list en route to our exit and say that we are a front running team, whereby we only show up against smaller nations. This cannot go ignored as England's performances vs countries with comparable talent has been less than satisfactory to say the least. Patterns are developing and they must be addressed if England are to progress. To believe that to go from a semi-final in one tournament, then to a final and furthermore to win it sounds logical, but the reality is other countries will improve and it will only get harder to progress at these tournaments.  What will we do if we're drawn in a "group of death". What happens if we

Arsenal have lost all competitive edge, and after back to back losses vs Wolves and Aston Villa a replacement would do a lot of good.  I've cooked up a shortlist of candidates I feel would be reasonable to go with at this time.  I was tasked with a short criteria of the following;   1. The manager cannot be world class, so managers such as Allegri/Pep/Klopp are out of the discussion 2. Wouldn't need a budget to succeed 3. Could get more out of the team than the current manager. So here we go. 1. Eddie Howe. (Free Agent) A free agent, Howe is currently available and has an impressive CV. Is one of the brightest English coaches around. He's done all he could at Bournemouth, with three promotions and many individual accolades to his name. I can't see what more he has to do to earn a spot at a big club. There does seem to be some caution with giving him a larger role as there has been a few opportunities. But Spurs chose Mourinho, Everton chose Ancellotti and Arsenal chose

Wayne Rooney, maybe the greatest player in English History has been appointed the Derby County Manager. Without his Uefa A licence. Unqualified for the job.  Now is a time as good as any to bring up the status of Black coaches in football. It's easy to make a stand against fans singing offensive songs, or chants, but putting black coaches in EARNED positions of authority has proven to be beyond this sport. While watching yet another unqualified coach take the reins at an established club, in the face of only 6 "non-white" managers out of 92 jobs in the football league, I am here to say the EFL and Premier League have failed black coaches. The current system disadvantages potential black managers, both young and old and its time for a radical change. In the Black Lives Matter era we are living in, a major shake-up in the recruitment process for football managers would show an actual positive change instead of the posturing for camera's that is currently being done. I&

I'll never ever forget Jose Mourinho's "specialist in failure" comment, as a reluctant Arsenal fan all I could think of at the time was how true it was and how much of a laughing stock we had become.  "The Banter era" still frustrates me to this day and even though Arsenal have gone on to win a few FA cups, I don't believe that we've moved on from this era. My sole issue with Arsenal is that in almost 20 years, Arsenal FC have shown no urgency to win. Winning is not Arsenal's number 1 priority and that sickens me. They have defined success through developing young players, balancing the books, creating commercial revenue, qualifying for the Champions League and even cool kit designs. Arsenal have shuffled and shimmied through every possible definition of being successful but never winning. The height of being an Arsenal fan was the invincible era, which was great but still not the pinnacle of football. Winning a domestic league is great, but ther
