madras

now that he owns 77% of the club you'd think,if was going to spend big he wouldn't set a timetable of when it's going to start but would spend what he thought was necessary when necessary. i don't think we'll be spending on as great a scale as some think.

footballs always been a business only now the numbers are bigger.

sell the name if it brings in cash for quality players,we'll still call it St James' park. just like i still sit in the gallowgate......i'd have to check last seasons ticket book to remember what it's now called.

leeds road

gone pretty quiet on this story.

But Bent doesn't want to go to west ham so Charlton can either cash in or have a unhappy player in the squad. So the Charlton chairman will accept a bid of, for arguments sake, £12m after West Ham have bid £16m + Mullins? He'll look f****** stupid! Got a feeling Bent will stay exactly where he is or he may be 'persuaded' to sign for West Ham. harry kewell leaving leeds for liverpool You know what i mean though? He accepts a £16m+, saying they've matched their valuation, on Wednesday only to see it break down...........then he accepts £12m on Friday for the same player. It makes him look f****** stupid for asking for so much in the first place. West Ham don't come out of it with any credit either tbh. i know what you mean but it doesnt really matter,if the player has a choice of places then he has the power.

isn't it time to edit the thread title?

allardyce aswell ? bad enough they get players they don't need but managers is going too far

ok now listen up a lot of people on here,i think the objective for next season will be to finish in the top six. how was that ?

I do not think that either Asley or Allerdyce would regard even their first seasons ultimate objective as "top 10". It could be (maybe) that that is all we end up getting - but it CANNOT be an 'objective' - and certainly not an objective that they will be telling potential new players about! i was thinking that,reckon top 6 will be the objective

on SSN

according to allardyce barton will hopefully sign today

allardyce was on SSN talking mainly about the opening days fixture but stated he would like to get in a couple centre halves and a left back,maybe a right back aswell.

TOUGH F*CKING SH!T I know its rubbish really. In addition, Tyneside police now request that we don't play Sunderland, Middlesborough or Man Utd, whoare pretty muc the only teams who havent blacklisted us. Thus we play away. If this is true, it's a disgrace. You shouldn't be able to pick and choose your fixtures like that. You play where you're told and if you've got Dynamo Mars away at 10 am on Boxing Day then tough f*cking luck - that's how it goes. remember a few years ago ferguson whining that man utd had 3 away games after champs lge games,the season after manutd had 5 out of 6 at home,their away they had to travel all the way to bolton,i think we had 5 aways!

If we start now in anticipation, we can have an ounce more credability perhaps. He's crap. A liability, hope we don't get him. never wanted him in the first place yah boo sucks

the mackems get us then boro off the bounce in april

it's not a bad opening few months,especially if the arsenal gane gets shifted

away first game,last game and boxing day. thanx a bunch

ban him

can you think of a better day for us to play the mackems,the towns practically empty,loads of people are having to drive as theres no public transport so they wont drink.or could it be the coppers want the day off ?
