Davros

For those that know him, the king of the daleks indulges in a spot of grass-roots football management. Well, it came out tonight in the first foot.ie London meet-up of 2005 that our man's qualities in that capacity - emphasis on hard work, there's no "I" in team and all that nonsense - make him a perfect British-style manager. The supreme irony given his rants on here.

Anyway, it was too good not to share with you all. Who'd-a thunk it? Davros. A manager best suited to a British system!

FFS, your team mustn't know what the fook to do - hit it long into the channels or total football out from the back?

Wasn't he Ernst Happell or whoever they named Stadion Prater Park in Vienna after?

Whilst trying to "poot 'em oonder pressha" or float high balls up to Hartson....

I think it was Ernst Happel, aye. Looking forward to a trip there in October. Particularly if the schnitzel place by the Riesenrad (ferris wheel) is still open. Schmecken immer

Im not sure about the analogy of Davros as a British-style manager. I can rarely understand his morse code-style posts on foot.ie. For this reason, I believe that Dav is more comparable to the formative years of Claudio Ranieri as Chelsea manager. Nobody could understand much of what Ranieri was saying. Does this mean that Davros is more of a continental manager?
