He highlighted West Ham because Pardew was sacked despite missing possibly ther most important player. Big fucking deal.

An apointment almost worth resigning over. Even after Souness' departure Shepherd was still quoted as not understanding why the fans were on his back from the start, showing a shocking lack of insight or even much of an interest in finding out. Ah well, he was quoted as saying that he effectively had to get the next appopinment right or he would have to go. Lets hope it all works and he leaves with a big trophy in his wake, but if we do continue to falter and fail, I hope that this time, he keeps to his word.

What, and see those dastardly betting scammers get their way, oh sure.

Are you taking the piss?! Clearly. He is certainly 'not defending the Board'. The next time someone 'castigates' the board whether it be for their choice of manager, the inability along with their man to play the transfer market successfully, the drop in our fortunes both on and off the pitch, the debt, or for any other valid reason you will also quite possibly see him 'not defending the Board' in another of his posts.

What do you even mean by that? Have a guess. Well I assume it means that you are mocking his post as being a bit thick, which is a shame, though I have to say that I'm not entirely sure if there are any other ways in which you are supposed to interpret it. That is why I asked.

What do you even mean by that?

This is why many people find you defense of the current regime so astonishing, as the choices for 'their man' have, for the most part, proved to be poor at best. No, there is no guarantee any new Board will do either of those things any better than the current one, but nor is there any guarantee they would do any worse. While, lets be fair, as we repeatedly get the simple things wrong, the chances of Freddy and the current board improving would seem slim indeed.

I hope you aren't suggesting that he is a work shy foreigner... cos... http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f312/Tonito44/ThatsRacist.gif

No.

Viana was hardly a winger though despite being shoved out there for the majority of his rare outings. He said himself often enough that his position was more central.

Ferraribéry!

are you all there?? the defender was the kid from kiev, and the whole world found out yesterday that he wasnt coming!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nonsense. Roeder wouldn't tell the supporters that he was looking to sign a bloke in the next 48 hours without even knowing how good he is. It's all smoke and mirrors. I bet we have actually signed this unknown defender and have simply not released a statement just to make the end of the transfer window a bit more fun and exciting for the rest of us. /guuuurr

Quite, the only actual quotes referring to our transfer kitty were from Roeder himself. But, whatever. Someone has been telling porkies and the only way to sort this out is a........ FIIIIIIGGGGHHHHT!!!!!! http://www.hdfa.co.uk/sffred.gif http://www.hdfa.co.uk/sfolly.gif http://www.hdfa.co.uk/sfglenn.gif :lol: Do you mind if I add those to the smiley index? They're a bit rough but no bother, anyone can have 'em.

0 (ZERO) HOURS AND NO STATEMENTS. THE DEFENDER HAS DECIDED. IT'S ALL OVER. ALL HOPE IS LOST.

It's like 24 only with 48 hours instead of 24. Previously on 48: *plunk.......plink.......plunk......plink* "Gimme the list, Glenn." "The FUNDS, Freddy. GIMME THE FUNDS!" "You've got 48 hours to bring this guy in Glenn. Don't let me down...." *cut to Roeder on phone* "Yeah, Gavrancic.......yeah.......he's WHAAAAAT?..........Worse than fucking Ramage? Are you sure??!......FUCK A DUCK!" The following takes place between 13:01 and 14:00 on the 26th of January 2007. *plunk.....plink......plunk.....plink* Quality. 3 HOURS!!!!!!!!!

So when exactly is Brett Emerton signing? Have a bit of patience. Long gone are the days you could organise a transfer in 48 hours. I've been patient for 25 and a half days mate! I've been patient for 25 and a half years... mumble... grumble...

I really don't believe that Roeder would be so stupid. That kind of comment would inevitably backfire if he knew it wasn't true. This has Shepherd's fingerprints all over it. I don't expect the club to buy players, but I do expect honesty. don't think Shepherd has been honest to either fans or manager. Well I'll tell you what, IF Shepherd has lied to Roeder and told him there was plenty cash and has now pulled the rug out from under him, then the onus is on Roeder to either go public with it or walk out. Sorry, but no manager is going to stand for that and nor should they. So unless I see one of the above happening then I very much doubt that Shepherd lied to him. To be honest Roeder is not gonna walk out or speak out even if that has happened to him. He's 51, has a family to support, obviously has some affection and won't be wanting to lose probobly his last shot at managing a big club. Walking out and speaking out are the same thing I'd imagine, either way you'll be leaving the club. Don't forget Roeder is on a rolling contract, all Fat fredd has to do is decide not to entend and Roeder will be gone. My sympathies lie with him, but that is not the kind of man you want in charge if that is the case now is it.

4 HOURS! :confused2:

I trust Alan Oliver, and while it may be hard to take, as a hard hitting journalist he is right to reveal that Glenn 'significant funds' Roeder is quite simply a sickening and outrageous liar.

You do realise that defender was Gavrancic and the deal broke down, so there will be no new signing in the next few hours. Gavrancic was a smokescreen.

4.5 HOURS. GETTING EXCITED.

5 HOURS? IS IT FIVE HOURS LEFT UNTIL THAT DEFENDER COMES? :clock: GLENN!?!?!?

HOW MANY HOURS LEFT!?!?!? http://www.toontastic.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/firefirefire.gif
