Less debt?

Quickly edits post to avoid also being whooshed.

And you believe that? I don't, 45-50K max. That's what I would've thought, just hope that he didn't use West Ham's silly money offer to bargain us up.

So is this the Big Sam bukakke thread then?

£70k a week for Barton? That is absolutely fucking mental if true.

He'd better be able to fucking handle him, his problems are well known and Allardyce is talking a huge gamble with him.

He hasn't done much yet, he's talked a good game but then again so did Roeder when he got the job. No progress yet on his backroom staff which is a little worrying, disagreed with the signing of Barton but if we can get Viduka and Ben Haim in on frees soon I'll be a bit happier.

And another one, nothing like living up to their stereotype.

One of the comments off RAWK, absolutely unbelievable how he feels the two shouldn't be compared, some of them really are deluded.

So this is the club's plan to improve our scouting network then?

Football clubs also may out a lot of money, hence why most of them aren't making any sort of decent profit.

Martins v Spurs - The fact that I was watching it with my Spurs supporting mate made it all the more sweet.

Normally I would say that's true but when the man is a recluse it doesn't really fit.

A European super league will never happen. Mostly because FIFA won't recognise it, meaning the clubs will not be able to enter any other European or domestic competitions and their players would be ineligible to play for their country.

I think he was taking the piss out of Oliver tbf.

I'm here with him. He mentioned it on TT today.

I think he's in Turkey at the minute.

Fair point.

Still won more in his managerial career than we have in recent times. :-[

The information must have come from there, not from our club." If the information Shepherd speaks about isn't the existence of a release clause then what is it? Anyone who still doesn't believe there is a release clause is either incredibly naive or incredibly stupid.

Aye, Gullit did nothing as a player did he?

Apart from the Bolton bit it was a carbon copy of everthing people were saying about Souness when he came, it'll take more than a few words from Shearer to convince me. Anyway I hope Sam heard all the fans singing while he was sat in the Reebok.

How do you figure that? They got silly money for Carrick which they would've been mad to turn down and if Chelsea want Berbatov they won't get him for anything less than £20m which represents a good price for him IMO.

God forbid he should praise anyone other than our ex-players who he had a problem with. Clutching at straws now.

I can see that you're obviously the brains of the operation.
