Gradi is being moved upstairs next season. His talent was watching out for players leaving big clubs like manu or Liverpool and bringing them in when they didn't make the tought grade expected by those clubs. Sometimes he'd get them early on and they'd count as Crewe's youth, sometimes a little later, either way, young players always felt they'd have a good chance of playing at Crewe and generally they all did.

The Lee appointment is a defensive move by Bolton...They know summat is up hence Gartside's sudden change of stance and hot air reg compensation (which they have no hope of getting btw). Sam might have been planning to take Lee at some point, but I don't believe Lee is that vital however good he might have become. It is more than likely that Sam won't reveal his hand till July. The setup at Bolton is almost taking care of itself. Almost 30 backroom staff compared to 3 when SA arrived tells its own story. Lee is going to keep things ticking over, and Gartside is hoping everyone can keep on doing what their doing without minimal disruption, he's already suggested Bolton don't need SA as much as people think. Sammy Lee wont bring anything fresh to the table, in fact the more he tries to stamp his mark the more likely he will fail. Given this is his 1st job Gartside is in charge of the budget, that including selling Anelka which is on the cards and Sammy will just have to do the best he can. But by not challenging the budget decisions in place Sammy can expect some leeway if there is a dip in form and position for at least the 1st season he is there. Speed i think was given the job as if SA did join the Toon he'd be the 1st off with his connections. Brown = Sammy Lee, neither are important, what is important is the setup of the club which is mind blowing compared to what we have now, and its that reason i'd like to see SA here, as that regime and setup should forever remain and maybe a more flamboyant manager can take advantage of in the future if SA underachieves.

Screw you man. Not my fault you get the everyday ITK people on spreading garbage, if you think its garbage dont fcking reply. Simple really. Yes Cartman Next you will be telling me to: http://www.garmentdistrict.com/store/popculture/southpark/collectibles/pins_respect.jpg

Some?

People are just sick of hearing utter bullshit coming from spastic ITK posters every single week. The chances you are telling the truth are less than 1%, why on earth should we believe bollocks like this, what makes you any different? You jumping at people with insults only shows adds to the case of why the fuk should we believe this headcase this time round?

Their chairman Gartside has been very petty in the press stating Sammy Lee is a better manager and it was time for Bolton to change how it plays its football. I just think its sour grapes and it shows, quite sad considering what Sam has done for them, bitterness just makes him look small considering Sam's kind words for the club even though he was held back for years due to lack of funds.

It aint no rumour mate, its fact. You can see by the body langauge of the players on the pitch that things arent right, this just confirms it. Does it now?

They do change their mind quite quickly at the Sun. Yesterday it was £2m, but I recall reading £500k somewhere aswell... No chance they'd get that, mutual termination of the contract has been stated by both sides, they'd be lucky to get anything, and they'd only get that if they can prove Sam had already taken another job, which if its us is certainly not the case.

Yawn

What was he saying? Anyway this part gets me: Roeder is not popular with the North West group of managers with Allardyce, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Wigan's Paul Jewel all on record 12 months ago saying that he should not be allowed to manage United because he did not have the Pro-Licence - even though none of them have it. Surely Big Sam has his pro-licence considering GR had to go on a course for it where Sam was a speaker!

SBR looks ill. He needs to chill out and enjoy his days, i dont want him back here, he can do without the stress.

Lets hope it galvanizes Freddy into action this summer both on and off the pitch. Because if we sit still we will be thumped by them next season, the passion and determination Keane's side will show against us next season will be without doubt the toughest test we've faced off them for a while, and with the current manager and palyers we've got it will be like expensive posh lamb to the slaughter.

Take it up with someone who gives a s***. mackems.gif @ 'Petty crime' You total and utter deluded fool. Have you ever been to South Africa? or do you just sit in Whitley Bay dreaming of your next holiday to some grubby Spanish island? World Cup 2010 - I'll be there having a hoot - you can just watch it go by on your flat screen ! Cheers No i haven't been to S Africa, its why am alive, with my wallet and haven't been raped and given AIDS. You've managed a lobotomy though I see 10, 11 at a push? Guessing your age, give me a clue?

Good.

A few hundrew quid is quite a lot to an unemployed black from the township, and even the employed only earn about R40 per day (£2.50). So when somebody withdraws £200 quid from a cashpoint (God knows why he's need £200 worth of cash in Africa mind), it can get quite a bit of attention! ---- I can understand why some of you are scared and fearful of all this crime rubbish - after all guns are legal. but for gods sake, you've been brought up in Newcastle...you should know how to avoid or attract trouble by now. Stay smart - keep your nose away from the townships and you'd have the party of your life! A woman is raped in South Africa every 26 seconds. (according to Powa which is a lot more accurate than your ignorant views) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4713172.stm Nice Country BTW

Take it up with someone who gives a shit. mackems.gif @ 'Petty crime' You total and utter deluded fool.

Honest to god, MJ you just can't stop talking utter shite can you? Why the fuk this board entertains you and doesn't just send a big fuking virus to your IP i do not know.

TBF Bellamy has had a lot of good managers working to get the best out of him and as soon as get gets a sub-standard one in Souness, he goes off the boil and his mouth explodes. Martins has had to deal with a man with as much charisma as dead fish, and with as much managerial ability as carrot. Not to mention the teams each have played in.

Disgusting that they've got it there in the 1st place. Stabbings, killings, thefts and rapes are what the football fans can look forward too if they dare travel to the scummy continent.

Shearer distanced himself a couple of weeks ago for a return to football, he even hinted he may go in at a lower level 1st, but wants to see out BBC contract which lasts a while longer yet. Out of the papers i heard he wants 5 years in total off to spend getting his badges but mainly to spend time with his family and allow both him and the club to move on.

Really using your subs should be as understandable to a EPL manager as getting up in the morning. But GR isn't the only manager to be guilty of being a plum on the issue, my biggest problem with Sir Bobby was this and he was 70+ and still doing it. His trick IIRC was to leave it until stoppage where he'd make 3 subs which should of been made 20mins ago, then be gutted when we didn't score. Still wish he was here though!

Every single pen save and miss in the Milan & Liverpool CL final. I was like a machine, every single one right, two Liverpool fans bought me a few pints afterwards for my stunning predictions.

I hope you're right. No chance, its personal. Even before he turned us down he'd talk about us with spite, same as Le Tiss does on Soccer Saturday. Don't know what we did to him, maybe its just unexplainable like how much i hate the spuds, everyone has a team they cant rationally explain why they hate so much and Big Sam's is us.
