To be fair, William Hills have been shortening their odds all afternoon after having large bets from Glasgow, Newcastle & London backing KK. aye, the Glasgow bets are a massive indication that he is coming back. How the fuck do you work that out then? KK lives near Glasgow, and it was from there that significant bets were placed on his appointment in January.

Please don't post anything as definitive as that without a source. I'm sure there is at least one poster on here with a heart condition.

Interesting that large sums have been laid in Glasgow, that is where the original KK stuff originated from in January.

The anti-KK propaganda has started: http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1390473,00.html

He's going to be playing for the U18s tomorrow unfortunately.

Good news that Cacapa, Geremi and Xisco all trained.

And they came up with Ince and Poyet with Deschamps as an outsider? Dear god, Oliver had better be fucking wrong. Year after year Oliver comes up with really shit players and managers, basically because he doesn't have much knowledge of football outside of Britain. However if true, people better start singing Deschamps' name on Saturday.

At least with Ince, we won't have to be worried that the board are signing the players. Blackburn transfers: Paul Robinson Robbie Fowler Keith Andrews Julio Santa Cruz Mark Bunn Danny Simpson (loan) Carlos Villaneuva (loan)

If true, I hope he proves KK wrong.

Do people realise that the 2 months thing is a rickroll? Just checking.

Yes, he really wants to depreciate the value of one of his £250m assets.

Back the sword! Crack the horde! Hack the cord! Smack the Nord!

I remember when Taylor dislocated his shoulder, and within a month he was fit enough to do anything that didn't involve falling over. Souness played him and he dislocated it again. Duff clearly lacked confidence beating his man after he did his shoulder twice. Really hope it isn't dislocated, as it is basically a bad 3-4 month injury (avoiding risks) which can affect a player's form.

Wouldn't be suprised if one of Martins and Viduka are fit.

Everyone lied it would seem, although the contrasting opinion on the lies depending on who told them is hilarious. And now, everything one person says is gospel, while what someone else says is a pack of horseshit

What people are forgetting is that while everything was kicking off at the board meetings on the 1st, Dennis Wise was in Leeds arranging the £1.5m transfer of three academy prospects. Leeds denied it and i believe all three players are still at leeds. Fabien Delph scored his first goal for them the other day. Transfer windows are pretty irrelevant when it comes to recruiting academy players, and Leeds have denied many things that have come true. If it was true, then the fact that Wise was negotiating when he didn't need to be would suggest that his role isn't as senior as people are making out. whatever you say, but Delph and Elliot are now in the first-team, not the academy, so i think i'll stick with my story. did you personally see Wise in leeds or not? knowing you, you probably thought the 3 has already signed for us. Any reason for making personal comments? Like I said, there are two sides to every story. Knowing you, you probably thought that any story discrediting Wise and the board is the right one. I don't personally know whether Wise was in Leeds or not, but if he wasn't it is a bit of a rubbish story for papers to make up on transfer deadline day when there is so much else to talk about. We can sit around blaming this person, trading insults with that person, but at the end of the day, we are stuck with our situation, and we may as well try to find some positive spin out of the whole situation.

Have you met him personally? As a player, Poyet always showed up in the big games, and certainly seemed like someone who thrived under pressure.

It is a fact that there are two sides to every story. It is a fact that no-one apart from KK, the Board and close associates know each particular side of the story. It is a fact that the press and the fans are making up their own stories without a shred of proof. I'm angry at the situation, I'm dissapointed with boardroom PR, but right now a lot of the aspects of the blame game are unfair on all parties.

Doesn't sound like an ultimate denial to be honest. More like a: "Nobody has made a move for me yet, so I'm happy at Spurs for now"

Basically it is a choice of: 1) Someone with a good track record who won't like the boardroom's transfer policy. 2) Someone experienced who is purely mediocre. 3) Someone unproven or with limited experince, but with some potential. 1 and 2 will fail, at least option 3 gives the club a chance of having something to smile about. There are tons of better options that Gus Poyet for option 3. Name them. Roberto Martinez I'm not discounting Poyet as an option, he interests me somewhat as a coach. But having witnessed the buzz about the Swansea team down here and the fact that he is as much a coach as a traditional manager I'm championing Martinez as our new First Team Coach assuming Ashley stays. If we get taken over I would fully expect a 'big name' to come in. I understand the sentiment, but I feel that Poyet's record as a player would command respect in the derssing room, whereas Martinez would find it more difficult. Having said that, while a risky appointment, I still reckon he'd offer a greater chance of reward than the Allardyces and Redknapps of La Liga.

well said, we cant let the sheep decide, we will run round in circles forever....oh look...the grass is greener over there...baahh I seriuosly question your constant and frankly disturbing refrence to sheep, you may find you need to seek help my friend. What's to say Poyet would be any more of a gamble than Laudrup, Rijkaard, or any other foreign coach? It's highly unlikey in the current system a British manager would want to come in. Some fans really need to let Keegan go, he gone, done, finished and this club needs to find a replacement. So you can continue your pathetic and frankly futile crusade while I get on with supporting my football club, enjoy. Gets my award for the stupidest comment of the year. Are you for real ? An assistant manager who's CV consists of number two at at league one club and number two at a club who finished middle table in the prem and are currently 2nd bottom of the PL is no more of a risk than a European cup winner and multi la liga winner, who's managed one of the bigggest clubs in the world ? I think he means before they got their big breaks at management.
