Works even better if you can imagine them singing it due to the way they pronounce more/mower. 🤣

Have you had to walk 500 miles?
Were you advised to walk 500 more?

I really don't know why anybody thinks Manchester City are in crisis, they've merely been restored to pre-oil settings.

Hopefully Rooney will now realise that he is not managerial material, or clubs will have taken note at least.
Any club taking him on now is showing their lack of judgement.

Was all relevant before Plymouth took him on.

True. How many levels of confirmation are required on the footie merry-go-round?

Some clubs are attracted to the glamour of a celebrity manager and not credentials 🤷♂️

I would have thought just looking at him and listening to him should have been sufficient

You are just being Scousist.

I don't think he ever will, I guess part of the makeup of someone like Rooney who has been very successful in one field is that you can replicate it in another. Even when it is proven that you can't, the ego kicks and you remain convinced you are capable.
As has been said, there will usually be another club prepared to take him on for the PR boost.

PR boost? Birmingham style? Ditch your current manager when you are 6th in favour of Wazza, 3 months later you are 20th... serious boost that.

Yea, Nistelhorse is doing well isn't he? Oh and Gary Neville at Valencia was a giggle. Lampard did great at Chelski...

It does get them column inches though, whether we like it or not (and I do not!). These owners love it, that's why the likes of Rooney/Lampard/Gerrard keep getting jobs. The owners don't seem to actually care that they put the clubs in an even worse league position.

Dean Windass: he's the first case I'm aware of younger than me.
How long are the authorities going let this go on. Are they looking to rely on plausible deniability indefinitely or are they scared that if they ban heading that'll be seen as an opportunity for a class action to take them to the cleaners?

I'll need some background for that to make sense. Never mind, found it.
Said it before, football is heading towards a non-contact tippy tappy version.

It isn't this simple. In the general population, EOD runs at about 100 per 100000 in the 30-65 age range, and about 270 per 100000 at 50-59.
Basically, if you took a snapshot of league 1 from 2009 when he retired, which probably had you'd expect at least 3-5 cases I think.
Footballers probably lower their risk in some ways, so the prevalence is possibly lower in the pro footballer group. This makes it hard to show causality.
The risk is cumulative, and exacerbated by a stoic "play on" attitude, which is still common. So risks can be motivated possibly to an acceptable essentially undetectable level by reducing heading in practiceand at younger ages, and by taking concussion seriously.
I imagine a vast amount of academic work is ongoing to study this.

Published on the 9th December 2024 by the University of Glasgow:
Overall, the study team found that the rates of these general health and lifestyle dementia risk factors were typically similar – or lower – among former players, compared to their counterparts. Moreover, the contribution of these factors to dementia outcomes was notably lower in former players than in the general population.

Published in the BMJ:
Yes, there's undoubtedly a lot more research than a few punters on a cycling forum hoying up links.
The fact that it's been recognised that kids are to be restricted in how much they're coached to bang their heads against a hard object is the right thing to do but it's naive to think that kids won't just practice a skill that gives a player a competitive advantage outside of formal training. They're just driving heading underground.

Contrary study conclusions ^.

I think it's more about ongoing brain development.
But the issue is cumulative damage, right? So if you should be able to gauge the effect on the normal person by the effect measured on a cohort that does something for a living. I think the reasoning is that if you suppress "bad" heading in the young, who will never go on to do it often enough in adulthood to cause a problem, and teach it correctly in the group that will, the risks are reduced. Those risks are also weighed against benefits of doing the activity in the first place, just like cycling and prostate issues.
Rugby seems to have a potentially more fundamental problem, because the game is designed around intentional "car crash" level events.
