if only to save the pay-off.............
and he might surprise everyone - even Mad Sir Alex started out somewhere
-
any benefactor will have to be Scots - no-one international knows owt about Scots football
So how many REALLY rich people are there in Scotland = a few
How many are open handed and stupid =....................................................
-
A striker, a decent play maker and a full back
but we'll struggle whatever
-
"we have the best squad in the division"
look at posts in July - October - not many people on here agreed with that..............
-
we have a grim record at Watford - I'd settle for a draw personnaly
-
what is interesting is that only KK and Hughton have won more than 50% of our competitive games over the last SEVENTY years
No wonder we never win the League - total lack of consistency
-
Wikipedia is out of date
hughton's record in competitive games is P 37 W 21 D10 L6
this is in his current time running the club not including the 3 games after KK quit (again)
Joe Harvey only had a 37.9% win record.........
-
If you take wins in competitive games (and leave out John Carver who ran the club for 1 sucessful game) Hughton comes top of ALL our managers since 1930 (before that it was a committee)
Hughton 56.76%
KK 54.98%
Martin (47-50) 49.03%
SBR 46.66%
Roeder 45.83%
Cox 44.97%
Souness 44.82%
Mather (35-39) 43.57%
Livingstone (54-56) 43.43%
Cunningham (30-35) 41.83%

anyone got the words for the old Leeds song "not enough ice on the runway"............. always used to kick off the action against our Manchester friends.................
-
It'll be an 20:00 kick-off - and if you are driving GET THERE SOON - I was past the Mad Stad last week and they're doing sommat massive & dreadful to the M4 Junction just by the ground = hellish traffic problems
-
Could be the start of a long slide into total obscurity for Scots football
as they have to spend more time qualifying for the money decent players won't be seen dead there and the they continue to spiral down hill
-
remember - he never wanted the job to start with
I'm amazed at what he's achieved
-
Salary caps are easy - all the Govt has to do is amend the next finance act so that sports clubs are taxed at 100% of their TURNOVER if their wage bill exceeds say 50% of their turnover
-
Upson?? not world class shirley???
-
for what its worth me auntie still follows the team (but is too old to go these days)
She remembers us winning the League............................. and her dad started following the club in around 1910 when he was a bairn................
-
two home games next against dross
we have the Smogs away, Forest at home and the rest are at best mid table clubs
16 to play and 32 points for probable certain promotion
-
As long as I can remember - my Gran used to sing me a dandling song
"you've heard of Hughie Gallagher, the wee Scots Lad
The best centre-forward Newcastle ever had
If he doesn't score a goal
We'll put him on the dole
and send him back to Scotland in the morning"
so say around 1950......................................
-
there goes Wayne Rooney then..................
-
"how you can say that Derby and Swansea are the toughies "
:undecided:see why?
-
we don't have a very good record at Derby historically - I'd settle for a draw
-
-
Blu Bamboo FFS - not even any taste
-
"In my opinion it doesn't matter who the captain is, if they're a natural leader they're going to lead regardless of an armband or not."
dead right - I don't see Smith being quiet just because he hasn't got the armband whereas Owen could have been Master of the Universe and still wouldn't know how to inspire people
-
22 points will seal of aoutmatic promotion
Thats only 81 points....... Average has been 86 and 2008 was the only year when 81 would have done it....................
