spookily harry has disappeared off oddschecker and mourinho has came into 10's from 16's. don't think the bookies have a real clue and are reacting to bets placed (betfair may be skewing the odds as some may bet on and lay off)

didn't you trade that last week for a handjob off the girl from number 12 ?

You're a piece of work. It wasn't "blindingly obvious" it was a barely plausible scenario that I chose to dismiss based on prior history of the man. When liars speak you tend to doubt them. If he's right he's right and I hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Sorry, but I think it was blindingly obvious something was happening. As you said "prior history of the man". You should learn to take such things on face value. Whatever you think of Oliver, and as a journalist he has to find things to write about and so will produce articles to fill space, but the FACT is that very few people are in a better position to know what is going on at the club, and this particular one was such that he just would not have printed it if he had not felt able to substantiate the information. ALL journalists print s****, but it doesn't mean everything they print is s****. As people have dismissed Shepherd on the same basis ie he's a fat b****** over the years even when he did something right, I'm not really surprised though at the lack of judgement and consistency. good point but the last paragraph gives you your reputation. To me, it simply proves that a lot of people are unable to make a measured judgement. I don't see what "reputation" it gives me, other than I look at the facts and don't let personalities influence what I can see of how people can be good for the club or not. If people don't have good judgement or don't understand what is important and what isn't, then its their problem. the reputation that everything has to return to "that" same argument even when you are posting on unrelated matters

but i'll bet they've "laid it off" elsewhere

The Krankies? morweena banks used to on "absolutely"

why not, crazy idea i know, but, let the new bloke decide who he wants to keep or let go ?

i first read that as "NSG on SSR"

Hear,hear.Great post Nate! :clap: Fair point, but only a complete f****** nutter would take this job after the amount of managerial upheaval and fan unrest we've had over the past few years, and i mean a fukin complete and utter mentalist. why ? new board,new set up and hopefully a tempting pay packet and transfer kitty.

wouldn't be at all surprised if keegan was brought back in to the fold but not as manager

so then,just for fun, who do you think our next permanent manager will be ? NOT who do you want it to be...1 name only please

good typing with your fingers crossed in hope

the bastard (knowing nufc highly likely)

some on here aswell

I hope this comes back to haunt you. Me too. Feel free to tell me I told you so. But step back and think about it. Do you think Jose is really interested in this job any more than he is interested in managing Bolton? Or do you think a mean spirited journalist lied in a local paper in order to start a rumour that successfully undermined the man who cut him out of the loop? he possibly would go to bolton if they paid him enough and provided him with a big enough transfer kitty.

Am I the only person who can't see how Oliver was right about anything (as yet)? Do people think that Allaradyce has been sacked because some bloke's agent declared their interest in the job? it would compliment what has happened but as yet we've no proof.

why hate? i'd love it if oliver was right, would mean lippi or mourinho! What I meant is that I hate the fact Alan Oliver might have been right about anything as he usually just takes a wild stab in the dark. In this particular case though I would be ecstatic if he is, which looks likely. whoah boy. i hope you're right but don't go following that to much yet

does anyone get the feeling (due to the timing, allowing him to bid for wes brown etc) that they actually have someone set and are tying things up ?

ferguson

allardyces signings will be in the same position as the rest. new manager comes in and decides who he'd like to keep and who he'll try and get rid of.

IF,and i know it's a big if,oliver is right about this i'll start the "apologies to anal" thread.

Just like sam pre newcastle then "plays nice stuff"

was he ? as i understand it robson wanted him but mourinho thought he had spent enough time as an assitant and wanted a managerial job in his own right.

dunno bout that...it all dependfs on the package (pay and transfer kitty) put before them.

Steve McClaren with 100m... steve McClaren with 1000million wouldn't excite me
