Turned us down for a pay off. Beew.

Agreed - SBR was just as interested in money as KK ever was, hence the reason he turned SJH down when he was asked to take over from KK after he resigned in 97....SBR knew Barca were going to fire him and appoint LVG, but he wanted the pay-off. It was the second time he turned NUFC down as he was asked to be manager after Joe Harvey in 1975 when he was at Ipswich but refused again. He may have had good reasons but the fact that he turned us down twice takes away any claim he may have had to be on a par with KK ; SBR was a self-confessed fan from boyhood too but he was past his best as a manager by the time he joined us although he did a great job in stabilizing the ship after Gullit. He was almost as old as Harry Redknapp is now and nobody on here would dream of having Redknapp as manager. You f***ing what? Considering he said it was out of a sense of loyalty, that's a shocker if you can back that up. YOU f===king what.. Can YOU back up your view - and it is ONLY a view - that he was 'loyal' to Barcelona ?? Would you be loyal to a firm you knew was going to replace you if your lifelong favourite company offered you the top job - UNLESS you knew the firing firm were going to give you a good pay-off..? Get real - you need to get into the real world. Fair point. I suppose I do. Give me 5, just got to drop a post in the other thread then I'll split.

Is Charnley with his bird? She's an utter horror, like. She? Harsh. Unless 'she's' a spitting dabs, that's Freddy Shepherd letting his bangs grow out.

As if, he's got no competition. If Carver dropped him it wouldn't be far off a suicide note. Seems to me that the simple truth is, like Pardew before him, he has the players on his side. Aye, some of them at least. Yeah, possibly not the lad in your Avatar a few weeks back.

Think they'll nick it 5-0.

Bleh.

May just be one nil, but we look well beaten here.

Been biased all evening twats Whey, to be fair it is Chelsea TV. Still twats though mind.

Good challenge my arse, kneed him in the balls.

Bollocks. 0-1 Chelsea.

Fuck me Longstaff. Gerrof man.

Same old Chelsea, always cheating. Ah well, extra time then. Cannot see us winning this unless our unused subs have something about them.

Damnit Longstaff!

Come on you feckers, 3 mins.

Yeah, he's annoying me too, nearly put Cobain(?) through there though tbf.

Negative fuck. Fuck off. /Carver, not nemtizz obvs

Cabs dropped for the Gouf? Williamson and Dummit in the center, together? Teams pls.

Is it fuck. It's not suicide but there are definitely better options. We're a decent stepping stone. We're the stepping stone to the stars man. Even weirdos like M'biwa and Santon get dream moves to Italy. To be fair, I reckon he'd have a damn sight more chance with us than Tottenham. They seem to chew up and spit out young midfielders with alarming regularity.

Is it fuck.

I get offered free tickets for almost every game now. People with ST's just can't even be arsed to go anymore. My dads just got out his seat with a groan, "Well, I'm going to have to go over there and watch bloody Stoke". Tell him its a proper 6 pointer in the fight for tenth spot. Should get the juices flowing.

I'd happily have Carver over Redknapp. For some reason I've got it into my head that he's the ruin of talent, as mercenary as his players, a lacking in class bullshit merchant, blame dodging, saggy chopped inarticulate miserable mess of a man who gets a nosebleed north of Hull, with a big fucking chip on his shoulder the size of England.

José Enrique. The fuck happened?
