Bernstein

[Lev Bronstein]

I think that he's played a tricky hand of cards quite well.

But, what's the story about when he resigned as City chairman. Always thought it was about Keegan's signing of Fowler. Was there anything more to it?

[aaron bond]

He has done very well over the last week.

I thought he was an excellent chairman for us. He was exactly what we needed at the time and was a key figure in getting us back as an established Premier League club.

My understanding of his resignation from us was partly to do with Fowler, in that he didn't want to sign Fowler because of both his injury problems and him being pretty crap by then. Also, Keegan wanted to spend more freely and Bernstein wanted to show more restraint in the transfer market. The rest of the board went along with Keegan's ideas and so Bernstein was left with no choice but to resign. I remember thinking it was actually a turning point for the club then, as by that stage Keegan had brought in some good players for us, and then after Fowler, we got players like Sibierski and Reyna and the quality of player we got gradually decreased.

That's how I remember the situation, although I'm sure there'll be someone on here who might have some more detailed information than that.

[Socrates]

As I understand it, Bernstein had appointed Alistair MacIntosh. He asked MacIntosh to produce a financial plan to move the club forward. The plan was presented to the board and Wardle and Makin, who were angry with Bernstein for failing to back Keegan over the Fowler signing, voted the MacIntosh plan down, this compelled Bernstein to resign. Wardle then implemented the MacIntosh plan so wasn't really against it just wanted Bernstein out.

Nah Lev, completely disagree. Bernstein and the FA have screwed up badly on this one, he should not have let Capello resign.
Capello was right to not have the adminstrators decide who should be captain. Capello comes out of the England job smelling of roses. He can and will walk into another managers job with ease , his record as a club manager is brilliant. He certainly knows more about Football than Bernstein or any of the croanies at the FA that's for sure.

Just because Bernstein was at City we shouldn't let that influence our analysis of what he is doing now at the FA and right now
the FA stinks badly. David Bernstein needs to get the FA sorted out. There is absolutely no transparency in what they do. This must be changed.

Totally wrong, you cannot equate representing a country with representing a club. It cannot be left entirely to the manager. Capello fucked up by not removing Terry from the spotlight. Bernstein had no choice but to act.

[Hazy2]

Love, David Bernstein, but he is not squeaky clean, French Connection, went tits up under him, he for me should not be in a position wherer Harry Redknapp is seen as the Saviour, that is a major gaff, Like John Terry, Harry will bring open season upon all who touch him, not yet, but in time this will end up going TITS UP BIGTIME AND THE SHIT WILL STICK TO THEM ALL including David Bernstein, who should not have allowed the scout cunt to appeal his hack by the way, another fuck up....

[Socrates]

French Connection, went tits up under him

Utterly wrong, he oversaw the rebrand to fcuk which saw the company grow when all around it were floundering.

should not have allowed the scout cunt to appeal his hack by the way, another fuck up...

I need a translation

[Crossie]

Berstein has bollocks. Bollocks are needed in the current state of the England team.

Capello was a joke. He didnt learn the language for starters. Players lost respect for him due to his militant ways.

Im glad he has gone. I hope we can find a manager with some passion for England.

Nah Socrates, you are wrong on this. Bernstein had no reason to do this ( remove Terry as Captain) at all. The timing stinks.

He shouldn't even be selected until the court case is heard. It's a very similar situation to the Duke of York, he might be very good at negotiating arms deals but he cannot be representing the UK as a country because he is mates with a sex felon!

Good grief Socrates. Re Duke of York, stop throwing red herrings into discussions and keep to the subject.

The current batch of English players are simply not good enough to win the Euro 2012. England will be damn lucky to get
out of the group. All the FA has done is allow Capello to walk away , 1.5 mill richer. Now we've got the media having a frenzy all the way up to the tournament, crapping on about England and their potential under someone like 'Arry.
At least we won't have to put up with Rooney for the first two games - mind you , he'd probably get himself send off
again. Tw*tter that he is.

What do you mean he shouldn't be selected ? Why don't the FA step in and stop him playing for Chelsea as well. What nonsense ! The guy (Terry) is innocent until proven guilty.

Look, I don't care for John Terry at all, but the way the FA has handled this is a joke. It's deflecting from other issues . the PL has problems with bad referees, with Ferguson, the FA is being very inconsistent in it's handling of video evidence ( re Vinne, re Crouch).

Excuse me, don't try and tell me what I can and cannot say. The fact country and club are different is obviously a very good and valid point as you cannot answer it...

Maybe you should stop trying to deflect from the issue by talking about whether England are crap or not and bringing the club situation into it?

[ross.mcfc]

I am not sure how leaving your team without a captain and a manager a few months ahead of a major tournament can be considered playing the cards right.

When you are currently guaranteed failure then it is worth rolling the dice.

Hey John now stop getting stroppy over French Connection, it was his baby and FCUK is the rising from the ashes,Not a major prob, but also not right to say he was not part of it... The scouse cunt is Rooney,THE APPEAL WAS A DISGRACE HELPING A TWAT WHO Hacked a player from behind who will do something similar again. We appeal that and Condem the other wanker Terry before he is dealt with by the courts ! Mental, fucking hate the FA and it's double standards led bty a media seixing upon the get Cappelo out. Sorry our ex Chairman is there he will be covered in shite by the end of his period, Terry, Cole Ferdinand and Now Harry, fuck me Balls of steel needed and even then your fucked if you do and fucked if you dont. He will be fire fighting scum bags in the press trying to defend scum bag players like Terry,Rooney The pay's good though, which seems the only thing the football gravy lickers care about. Rooney 2 brass a night elbows off the ball effing and jeffing down the camera, and we appeal an assault, you could not make it up...

[PeterParker]

He took a high gamble on this one. Like all of you i am convinced that Cappelo couldn't bring glory to the national team at this moment, and at the Euro, England could had made it to the last eight, but not above, but you can''t make this move if you don't have a backup manager who you already talked. Of course, it could be 'arry, but they should announce it by now.

All the high street was struggling Hazy, the fact he guided them through it makes Bernstein quite a star.

Forgive me, you didn't say scouse or I might have got it. I tend to agree but you can see why they did it.

[Socrates]

Right yeah. You should visit Earth sometime.

[feedthegreek]

england will win sweet fa regardless of the manager, our premier league is flooded with foreign players, some like silva modric kompany and plenty more off other teams great for the clubs, if redknapp got the job no bale no modric vdvart gallas ekottu sandro kaboul ade and so on, hes left with who, apart from our players at city and a few more hes got zero.
the golden generation lampard gerard crouch bent me mum could have scored that,there not good enough.
or else wed have a premier league side topping the table with about 15 english worldbeaters.
