Funny how this is pretty much the only player to avoid an injury. Three possibilities. Now the money grabbing bastard has secured his £3m payday he'll start playing with more effort as there is no worry of being injured. Or alternatively, he'll suddenly injure much more easily than the rest of them now the £3m is in the bank. Or perhaps he's just honest and shit, and willing to put money ahead of ambition, knowing that we could well be relegated.

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/3974597.Butt_accepts_Kinnear___s_offer_to_extend_contract/ So basically there was nothing the club could have done about this one. I'd imagine wage is the same or better, and it's better money than he'd get anywhere else.

Thinking about it, I think there was a clause that said he had to get the extension if he played so many games. Although Kinnear might be happy about it and Butt clearly wants to stay, this is sadistically enough a remnant of the Shephered regime

I remember when he was playing for Keegan. Attacking movement was exceptional throughout the team, which allowed Jonas to get involved in some really good passing moves, and he could run the full length of the pitch. This doesn't happen anymore, because Kinnear spends four days out of five coacching defending. Hence we are completely impotent. Kinnear Out!

At least when we go down, we can sell him for £500k to some fool so Ashley can bid £100k for Fabian Delph.

So that's what they were up to yesterday. They can all fuck off.

For me it would be 1. Ketsbaia 2. Martinez 3. Bruce

Someone posted a couple of days ago that he's already gone.

Good luck to the lad.

Peter's just as fast as Charlie. Indeed, but he's going to play less, making his pace less of a factor to the team.

Goalkeeping - Weakened Defending - No change Creativity - Weakened Scoring Goals - Strengthened Pace - Weakened Squad depth - strengthened

We aren't in a position to get the best untarnished players. With a choice of tainted talented players, or reliable mediocrity, I'd go for the former every time. There is a reason a top manager like Sir Bobby made a good club out of these types of players.

Some figures haven't been officially confirmed, but an estimate would be: In: Barton - £5.8m Rozehnal - £2.9m Geremi - Free Alan Smith - £6m Cacapa - Free Enrique - £6m Faye - £2m Beye - £2m Baheng - £500k Kadar - £400k Tozer - £500k Zamblera - £300k Diatta - Free Sodeberg - £250k Jonas - £2.5m Guthrie - £2m Bassong - £1.5m Coloccini - £9.1m Ranger - Free Xisco - £5.7m Gonzalez - Loan Arestidou - Loan Lovenkrands - Free Nolan - £4m Taylor - Free £51.45m Out: Parker - £7m Dyer - £8m Huntington - £500k Solano - £1m Luque - £2.6m Pattison - £400k Carr - Free Ramage - Free Troisi - Free Diatta - Free Rozehnal - £2.9m Emre - £5m Faye - £2.25m Milner - £12m Given - £5.9m N'Zogbia - £6.5m £54.05m

The one thing about Raylor that fills me with optimism is that having him in our team may add that little extra fear in the opponent. I've had this feeling that for a while, the likes of Martins and Jonas get scythed down without the fear that we'd hurt a team from the set-piece. Such a situation could leave opponents in two minds.

I wouldn't accept it, but I think Ashley could make up to £50m if it happenned. Player sales + parachute payments + the assumption that those prospects we've signed would be good enough for this level. I voted no btw.

I've actually felt for some time that this is the only realistic way that Ashley can get his money back on this club. A massive gamble, but Ashley is a gambler.

On transfer deadline day you should be prepared and have a plan. There clearly was no plan, which suggests no intention. The plan was to finalise the Taylor deal and bid for Johnson. There was a plan, just perhaps not the best one. Part of the pre-deadline day plan needed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that such a move was possible if we stumped up an affordable amount of cash. This preparation did not happen.

It only becomes 10 for me when its mathematically impossible to stay up, so I'm now up from 9 to 9.5.

Then the board could just consult video archives and provide evidence of lie after lie. Plus it would be hard to do so when the buffoons at the club are trying to give him a three year extension to his contract.

At one point he said Wise was doing the buying and selling. It has been said that Wise has been sacked. The voices in your head don't count as rumours. This was being widely posted a couple of days ago by other people. Please apologise.

Howard Wilkinson won the Old Old English Division One in 1992. Him and Kinnear of of the same ilk, of the same era. That was what we got when we appointed Kinnear. Howard Wilkinson without the pedigree.

Because hopes of a solution in terms of fixing the team's playing staff problems has been completely eradicated. I'm kind of hoping he did get screwed over and decides to quit as a result.
