I would agree that there are many so-called coaches who contribute little at the lower levels through an insistence on a Wembley Stadium ... rigid mimicry of styles of play which they see effectively used by top professional clubs, but only dimly understand. Yet there is no doubt in my mind that the FA Coaching Scheme has made an immense contribution over the last thirty years or so to football both in England and overseas. ... they would more than The widely held belief that we are somehow technically inferior to the Continentals and South Americans is, in my opinion, also patently untrue. Not only do we have some of the most skilful players in the World, but we also have some half f i11 it. of the best organised teams, which is vital in modern football. Today's Cup Final teams are a perfect example of this blend of natural talent with perceptive coaching. DAVE SEXTON and DON HOWE are products of our coaching SIR HAROLD THOMPSON, C.B.E., F.R.S. system, both are an essential part of our National Team Chairman of the Football Association set-up and there is no need to look any further than COPPELL and MclLROY, RIX and BRADY for con­ ffff ff ff ff ff ffff ff firmation of what the British Isles can produce.

Our Football League system puts great pressure on players and a player who does ffff ff ff f ffff ff f not possess the basic equipment will find it hard to develop skills amid the pace and commitment of top-level competitive soccer.

  • Reflections on the City–United Dynamic in and Around Manchester David Hand
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-space: Manchester Metropolitan University's Research Repository 12 Love thy neighbour or a Red rag to a Blue? Reflections on the City–United dynamic in and around Manchester David Hand I love Manchester United, they are great – I know because I watch them on Sky TV all the time. I once drove past Manchester on my way to a wedding … but I didn’t have time to get to a match … I love getting together with all my Man United supporter friends here in London to watch old videos of Bobby Charlton and George Best … I love all of Man United’s strips and I have bought them all for sitting in front of the telly … I once met a couple of blokes from Manchester but they supported a team called City … it’s unheard of someone from London would support City. I can’t understand why anyone would support a team that hasn’t won anything in years. Some people support a team just because they were born there – they must be mad! (MCIVTA, 2002) Any comprehensive coverage of the United phenomenon must eventually emulate the spoof Internet posting above and consider Manchester City. To an extent, the experience of City’s supporters in particular is defined (and lived) differentially in relation to what has latterly become the domineering presence of the United Other. The City–United dynamic is, therefore, a highly significant football and, indeed, social issue in Greater Manchester.

Yes: 82%No: 7% No View: 11% 4. Both Stan Kroenke and the Arsenal Board continue to reiterate their commitment to Arsenal’s Self- Sustaining model (where the club only spends the revenues it raises) and reject suggestions that either of its two main shareholders invest money into the club. Which of the following models would you prefer Arsenal to follow? a. Self-Sustaining model (only spending club revenues earned) 60% b. Outside investment into the club (benefactor model) 40% 5. Earlier this season the AST urged the Arsenal Board to review their business model, and, while supportive of the general principle of sustainability, urged them to fully review options for injecting additional cash into the club such as through a rights issue or short-term loan against future income.
