Shearergol

Burnham to London?

5 minutes away is close enough tbh

Of course, he'll be completely innocent. Sad I know, but a lot depends on the people you mix with. RIP.

Already an improvement.

that pissed me off as well. Nobody has asked him to buy 30m quid players, not me, you or anybody. Nobody I know has asked him or suggested he buys 30m quid players. Only that he allowed his manager complete authority over his staff and scouting teams, and that he backs him as much as possible, and by that I mean if Keegan wanted a player [whatever the price and despite any claims to the contrary, Keegan understands the need to get value for money] then he would do his best to get him and pay a bit over the top to trust his manager if need be. Thats how big clubs should act. Shit, I know I'm going to regret this, but.... Pretty certain you said that the new board should be judged on a number of things, including breaking the world record for a transfer. I can find the quotes if you want? you will find a quote or two somewhere saying that they shouldn't be afraid of breaking the world record transfer [ as they did with Shearer] but fundamentally, it all comes under backing the manager. I don't suppose you have any major misgivings about how buying Shearer turned out ? The other side of the coin of course is the absurd posts by people who think you can compete with the other top clubs by buying a team of cheap signings from out of the 3rd division ? And by saying you can match these clubs without going into debts [like they have themselves]. If you disagree, you should write to ManU and tell them how Alex Ferguson has been getting it all wrong in winning all these league titles when he could have done it for peanuts. You will find the odd occasion I have commented about "world record transfer" has probably been in response to this sort of stupid post. Not that I'm particularly arsed. I know that I'm right when I say the club has to behave like a big club if they truly want to be one. See, that's why I'm gonna regret it. I don't disagree with you - like you, I said from day one that bringing in the youngsters rather than looking at established players wasn't the way to run the club. The two should be done hand in hand. I personally thought that we'd have to spend big to even compete with the top 7 teams, let alone the top 4. My only reason for questioning you was I thought you thought exactly the same.

3 or 4 nil. Great time for them to play us, and a really bad time for us to play them.

£50m profit? Is that after wages and overheads?

Kevin Keegan can't stand the sight of him. That's enough for most fans.

You really are. What part of the job description does it say 'work with players you don't want, no final say. shut up and get on with it'. To be fair, for all we know, it might have said that.

5th bottom now. Cheers Kev and Mike!

A year ago on Wednesday, Derby County were beating us. We've been shit for a few years now tbh

The one player Keegan signed eh?

How much added on?

He's fucking shit tbh

The worst thing for me is that some of our "fans" now want to see us lose.

Keegan didn't have to walk away after 3 matches. He had that choice. You know we didn't sack him, right? Everyone involved should hang their heads in shame, including Keegan. Best summary of this sorry state of affairs I've seen on here.

Still, it's not Keegan's fault for leaving.....

We've got something like 21 points in the last 8 months. Hardly a shock that we're shit, especially without a manager and half of our best players out injured.

To be fair, even under Keegan, we were one of the worst teams in this division.

Agreed. Him or HTT.

Deportivo and Milan. That's about it.

If we appoint Ince, that would be all of the Milner money gone in one swoop.

Are people taking the piss? I couldn't care less if he sat on the half way line for 80 minutes if he still got three goals.
