Won't be that, it'll be when they realise that we (hopefully) aren't getting relegated. That's their last hope as they know if we avoid it what our future quite possibly is.

Europa league is a "terrible competition" and a "Euro pizza cup equivalent" apparently.

Kessie and Kamara please

Woolsington Hall was mooted a while back from a training centre/academy and is still owned by the Halls I think

So everyone watching Villareal tonight then ?

We can, just haven't yet.

Of course they do it for a shit load of cash, why else is De Bruyne at Man City, Lukaku at Chelsea etc, they go for the most part where they get the best deal. If we offer a shit load of cash more than otheres we'll get better.

So, I'll ask again, would you rather Lampard last week as opposed to say, for example ten hag next week ?

No, let's think about it and get the best one rather than anyone.

Do you think, had we appointed say, Lampard, we'd have more points now ?

And it does seem like the speed of the go ahead caught them on the hop, now do you want the best possible or the quickest possible appointment ?

The more I look at it , it was a deliberate risk as being unhindered by FFP was a selling point

Do you think if we'd appointed Lampard last week we'd have beat Chelsea ?

Everyone? Don't include me.

If we were a goal down with 20lefr I'd always be confident with that team and we'd just out last teams. I like him as a player and saw him plenty in town where he always seemed quite shy, didn't see any of the antics he was accused of.

It was a range of factors, Man Utd going on a run at the end that bettered our start, loss of form individually (Lee always seemed to tire towards the end of the season and Beardsley did as well), othwr teams seemed better prepared for us as the season went on and we had less of a plan B (perhaps that's why KK got Asprilla and Batty) and also the press with their "Newcastles dodgy defence line" kept teams going after going behind (same story from Blackburn and Man City fans I spoke to on hols that Summer).

Don't know like, always though they never had the quality of defensive players to kick on the winning stuff. It's more his time at Everton that concerns me.

With all sides (ours and prospective managers) keeping silent the media have little to go on. Our side said Jones would be in charge till after Chelsea and that's what's happened. I'm OK with Brighton even. Ill be concerned if we have no one in by Brentford.

Oh right, see your point. Could it be more to stop others escaping their mini league to the top mini league possibly ? Though as you say there always seems to be ways round it.

But how would they argue if, for example, we get in Ten Hag and Overmars, spend 100million in January, because of links with Saudi Arabia become the biggest club in the Middle east and start building a larger following in the far East.......how much are we allowed to be sponsored for then ?

Culled ? Fuck me, a Junior Squid Game.

Truly will be a messiah then.

I think you are alone in your embarrassment.

You do know that bookies don't set their prices on what they think will happen ?

Because there's no one left to link.
