Perfect time to announce it like, there's going to be charvas getting Keegan tops printed as we speak (probably paid for by SSN)

Tell him they can go to Shiremoor school in a thick geordie accent. Chez moi? C'est bon. When can I start zis job?

For some reason I read the topic like Snap's 1990 number one "The Power"

Maybe we are, but none of them are willing to come and wrestle with this car crash of a club at the moment? We may well have to settle with someone who has enough of a hunger to manage a team like us in this league that they're willing to take on the huge baggage that comes with this job and out of those we could do much worse than Houllier with Al as his assistant.

Souness, Gullit and Dalglish won trophies. None of them lasted long. It would be funny if we appointed a manager who was sacked by Liverpool for almost exactly the same reasons Sam was. In spite of what the media would have you believe, our expectations are not nearly as high at the moment as the Scousers were then.

Never mind Ashley, I reckon you need to get your cheque book out and back us in the transfer market if he comes.

Well the fans were still split on Sam when we were losing while conceeding about 2 or 3 every game.

First apparent progress on an appointment I'd be happy with. There's certainly other managers I'd be more excited by but at the moment I'd take Shoulier now rather than gambling for what's in the box.

I'd be very fucking happy with a GH/AS combo, considering some of the other options we could end up with. Certainly take it above Redknapp, Hughes, Jol, Keegan or a lone Shearer appointment.

"We're all having a great time with this on Sky Sports News". Fuck off David Craig.

Talking about Houlier on SSN now. GH's reps have confirmed they would welcome contact from Ashley. AO says Shearer has said he would like to work with GH. GH's people indicate he would like to work with Shearer. GH apparently in "informal discussions" now.

Right, if that's true and we end up with some British plank then Ashley wants shot with shit.

Heard Cacapa described as a black Titus Bramble the other day.

I've no idea what to think anymore. It would be a destinctly uninspiring appointment and a sickener to miss out on a good foreign coach but it also means we don't end up with Bruce or McLaren. If he'd got the job straight after we got rid of Sam I'd have been furious but as this fiasco seems to be barreling along the Shitcreek Express Line en-route to its terminus at St Clusterfuck Station paying Blackburn a fortune for their mediocre manager again would almost seem like a relief.

Fucking hell, he looks like a bad guy off Dr Who in that photo.

Right, I'm not opening this thread again, it's too terrifying.

I like nufc.com putting the Samaritan's number in their report. Reminds me of The Mag (Or maybe Talk of the Tyne/Toon) giving away a free suicide pill for if we went down in the season before the Premiership was formed. Caused me to get fucking twatted last night that match, can't even remember walking home. Hope they're happy.

We should have been 1-Nowt up at half time as well

That or appointing Shearer may be the only way he'll still be able to sit with the fans in his Smith top.

"In the process of choosing new socks for Chris Mort, we have identified a number of potential candidates. "This is a very important appointment - our first since taking control of the Club - and we will take as long as required to make sure we choose the right socks. "Those socks will be a pair we believe will be able to deliver style, comfort, warmth and durability. "We will continue to devote our time to the very important task of selecting the socks and we will make a further announcement when appropriate."

An on SSN they're saying we only want someone connected with the area in charge.

You never know, Man U may go into this match complacent, Pearson may play players in their default positions in a standard 4-4-2 and we might suddenly find ourselves playing all right.

Slow mo black and white toon montage with sentimental music on SSN now of the Keegan years, geordies crying etc, then ending on a shot of 'Arry. Looks like an obituary.

Can we keep griefing those cockney cunts now 'Arry's turned us down?
