I find this sort of over-the-top segregation unutterably sad and would not consider attending any game under such disgraceful conditions.

It's more or less standard in Holland these days. For the biggest matches of the season - Feyenoord v Ajax - away supporters are simply banned from attending.

Saw this earlier today, some big numbers, for one big numbers for nowt!

Out-of-work Kenny Dalglish will finish the season as Britain's best-paid manager and the fifth highest-paid in the world, new figures from France Football magazine have revealed. Liverpool accounts showed they were forced to pay off Dalglish and his staff with £9.5 million at the start of the season after deciding to replace him with Brendan Rodgers. According to the magazine, £8.52m of that went straight into the pocket of the Scotsman, making him this season's highest-paid British coach without even having to manage a single game.
Dalglish was on a reported salary of around £3.5m while he was at Anfield and a tweet went viral when he left the club that read: "Kenny Dalglish has asked that the £8 million compensation owed to him after his sacking be put towards new Liverpool signings. Amazing gesture."Angry Liverpool fans then bombarded the Liverpool Echo with phone calls asking why the local paper had not reported Dalglish's gesture. The Echo were forced to publish a reply saying: "The simple reason is it's not true."
Dalglish won the League Cup for Liverpool last season but was criticised for paying out bloated transfer fees on unconvincing signings with the £35m paid for Newcastle striker Andy Carroll – the highest fee ever paid for a British player – drawing particular criticism.
Dalglish was fifth in the overall managers' high-earners list which was unsurprisingly topped by Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho who earns €14m (£12m) a year.The highest-paid manager currently working in the Premier League is actually Arsene Wenger (€9.4m) who is sixth on the list overall.Manchester City's Roberto Mancini is eighth on the list just making slightly more than Sir Alex Ferguson.
Top 10 best-paid coaches in 2012-13 (Source France Football – figures in Euros)
1. Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid): 14m
2. Carlo Ancelotti (PSG): 12m
3. Marcelo Lippi (Guangzhou Evergrande) : 11m
4. Guus Hiddink (Anzhi Makhachkala): 10.8m
5. Kenny Dalglish (Unemployed): 10m
6. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal): 9.4m
7. Fabio Capello (Russia): 9.2m
8. Roberto Mancini (Manchester City) 7.6m
9. Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) 7.5 m
10. José Antonio Camacho (China) 6.1m

The money is crazy because......................managers are not that important.

If your club is going forward, then the manager who stopped the rot and got it moving did a very important job, but then he can go, it doesn't matter. Usually this manager will be poached, he'll go (for more money) to a bigger club but one that is struggling. Where, more often than not, he'll fail and be sacked. The guy who took over his original position, as long he doesn't tinker too much, will succeed and the club will continue to prosper.

Honestly it's true.^_^ I read a thesis covering Spain, Italy, Germany & England, the top 2 divisions. Managerial stability doesn't matter much at all regarding results, as long as the club itself is stable and has a plan.

Parkinson out! :thumbsup:

An ill-considered post for sure Spokey and you have my apology. The result of disappointment and being labelled as QP-hahahahaha by an excellent moderator. Okay, and a few beers.

It struck a nerve because, quite frankly, at times over the last 10-15 years we have been a carnival...so Ian probably has a point after all and I'm a wee bit sensitive at the moment, for someone who likes to dish it out too.

All the best.

No worries.

Must admit. He was a good keeper. Great shot stopper.
But yes.. think the masters in slightly beyond him.. but then again... he would just have to stand in front of the goal and nothing could get in.

Ha ha, Neville Southall! Would have been 2001 when I entered the kop at Bradford via the top entrance, eagerly anticipating the derby v Leeds. I looked down and saw a really fat bloke in the goal below, thought he was fan who'd won a competition or something, the blokes shorts were ready to rip!

It was fat Neville. I can't remember exactly, I think he was our goalkeeping coach and an injury to Gary Walsh and bizarre morning injury to the reserve (Matt Clarke) who'd fallen down some stairs, led to fattie being roped in. I was horrified, the guy must have been 20 stone.^_^
