Vincent Vega Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Shazz I am going to Brandon shortly to support Team GB OK If you read my original posting on this thread I said all the best to the boys for the SWC. I am just asking the question can Middlo inspire the team to go that extra yard? The record books dont suggest so 6 world cups in charge and we havent won. See ya there or will you be an armchair fan tonight? Looking forward to your next advert darlin VV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 No before SCB or Vega or someother Middlo headhunter jumps on the above, that doesn't mean it makes it right that we haven't one but the football managers have a lot more choice for their team than Middlo does for his <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Makes a football managers job a lot harder in my opinion.All the choice,trying to get the right combination and cover in all areas in case of injury,etc.A speedway manager just has to ask on of the statistical wizards on here who the 5 best riders are,and Bobs your uncle.Job done.Apart from motivating them(which is Middlos strong point,so we are told)and making the right tactical decisions(which is Middlos weak point,so SCB keeps telling us ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Write off Jonas at thy peril! He could well turn out to be the star of the Swedish team. Then again, he could well not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He could star for them in Poland, but I'd be somewhat surprised if he does anything of note tonight.

Saint Rob Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 will be funny later, everyone will be going completely over the top if GB win comfortably <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No doubt there will be 3 million pages on here saying that Middlo did a great job, the riders were amazing and that we will win the World Cup, even though compared to Aussie, Poland and Denmark, GB look quite poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Why the hell are they called Team GB???? All the riders are English!!!!!! Maybe they should be called "South of England plus 1"? Maybe USA should have been called California in the past (possibly still the case). Berk! It's because if someone from Scotland or Wales were good enough then they'd be eligable and the ACU is the governing body of GB and thats who they're representing, when Wales and Scotland can enter their own team, then they can be called England.

Trees Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 will be funny later, everyone will be going completely over the top if GB win comfortably, and so they should ... look at the group they're in, then look at the group from Saturday, considerably easier tonight. Of course we will be chuffed if our boys do well but this is speedway, anything could happen!! I, too, will be interested to see how the Russians are coming on .............

Don't see how or why you should get a warning to telling us all something that we all knew anyway! Just because you put it in print! and if it was the "T" word then who ever decided that was a swear word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Find it amazing how anyone can slag middlo off personally thinks he does a great job considering the limited recourses he's had to work with at times...not really sure what else he can do to please some of the halfwits on here . Im not a close personal friend of middlo or anything but think he's a top bloke for a pugwasher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate paul Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 However, I don't honestly think Middlo could inspire a jelly to set. Yep, he's a great team manager, but inspirational? Give me a break! Just because you can decide when to put out a sub or play a joker it doesn't make you inspirational. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I've already said, unless you've spent time in the pits with him (and if you have then I apologise unreservedly) how can you know how he inspires his riders?

bazaar3 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 First is everythink any where else is nowhere. Most other managers get one chance to win a world cup maybe two but middlo get 6 or 7 . You think 3rd in a 4 runner race is good no wonder why we don't win . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Think you have got slightly lost between realism and optimism. With that team in Poland, we would do amazingly well to beat the Poles and Danes, but I really would love us to win and we are better shout then 10/1.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Can't actually think some people on here blame Middlo for us not winning the WTC in recent years. He has massive respect from the riders and has a way of getting the riders primed before a race. Why do you think Crump has gone on record stating Middlo is the best manager he has ridden under? And I tell yuo what. Stick me in charge of the Danes on Saturday and I bet I would end up with a gold medal. The manager can do a lot, but he isn't Jesus and can't work miracles. We all know Team GB's limitations and to put any defeat at the Middlo door is frankly ridiculous. Give it two/three more years and we will be serious challengers, with the new batch of youngsters coming through. Hopefully Middlo will still be in charge to get the glory he deserves.

sEdgY2 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 nah the brits want win it in Poland they are just not ready yet eddie, oliver and steady just aint experienced enough yet. Scotty, bomber and rico well give the the other nations a shake though. They could though come second if all goes well they just cant win it though! the darkhorses are Australia! Adams home track 07 world Champ Crump World Champion Sullivan getting back in form Holder the next Superstar Schlien is a future GP Star! No harm in thinkong the aussies can win!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well another World Cup rolls around and hopefully Middlo can inspire our lads on to victory. This will be his 7th stab at winning the cup as manager and it would be great if he can get that bit extra out of the side that he has failed to do in the past and we see Nicholls lifting the trophy. I wish Middlo all the best in his efforts <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
