Allardice surely knows that owen is one of the best strikers in england and the best english striker! Why the hell would he get rid of him? Bolton are quite fluid AND MAKE GOOD USE OF THEIR FULL BACKS (BYE BYE CARR, BABA!!).

possibly leave us a bit vulnerable to more physical teams

the front five would frighten a few teams when they're on form...

Depressing isn't it! please let freddy make me eat my words...

Ha ha ha... Why do you think he was sacked? Funk all to do with Freddy making an intelligent decision...Just that season ticket renewal period is coming up and we need something to bouy up the locals with...you don't actually think we'll get a top manager do you? Hughes or Allardice will come in and take us up to the 6-9th level in the league...whoooopeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa!! Imagine this front three: Owen Tevez Martins Bit short on ariel power but they could run rings round most defences...

Should really be who we keep! Wouldn't have to write so much... Given Owen Martins, Zoggy Milner Taylor Solano

WOW! Must really be an inside source then:)

-Would love Hiddink to come here, has been successful wherever he's been (from what I can remember) but it would probably be a job that could sully his career and is perhaps interested in bigger fish (chelski). -Houllier has also done very well at Lyon and would bring with him the in depth knowledge of european players (especially french) which would probably mean more for our money in the transfer market. I like the way Lyon have played when I've seen them in the champions; organised defence and attacking football but always with a team effort... -Sam is a ready made option and would probably be the best option to stop the slide as he seems to know how to scrap out points. Not too optimistic about the long term with him as we don't know whether he has other feathers in his cap (systems/tactics...).

In order of priority: Ramage Babayaro Pattison Carr Luque Bramble Gooch Moore Dyer Butt Impossible I know, but there's always hope...

reralistically...good word eh!

Houllier Reralistically Sam allardice (no long balls please!!)

Neither of these really get me going, Allardice has the required experience and hasn't done badly with limited resources, just a bit scared that he knows nothing other than "rough em up" tactics....better than "stick with the older players" tactics that we have at moment...

Typical admin killjoys!!!!!!!!! Crap title now!!!!!

P.P.S. Would be better than what we have had over the last 3 years I suppose....

P.S. I wasn't being serious... (I'll specify this next time)

Has he got his badges yet? It would be another of Sheps magnificent PR coups if he did this. Very doubtful if we would be any better in a year's time though'. Bored...

I'm amazed that nobody has thought about our messaiah coming back and sorting things out "a la Keane" style.... Just a thought...

I've watched Milan a few times on the telly this year in the Italian league, Kaka reminds me a bit of our own enigma "Emre", both of them have "moments" in games and have 5-10 minute spells where they dominate but they both also dissappear in many games and are carried by the rest of the team. Kaka is of course a far superior technical player but he does tend to float in and out of games, can be frustrating at times...

Quite comical really! What we need is a new back line!! That ginger lads goal was so easy, nobody around to take it off him...

suppose...

Do you honestly think we'd get something better for less than 1 million? He knows the club and is pretty average but is able to do a job if someone gets injured...

Ship baba out and keep carr as back up for the new left and right backs that we'll be buying in the summer. We'd get more worth out of him that way and we wouldn't overstretch the squad and still have an old head to give out tips etc..

It would have to take about 8-10 million to sell charlie. everyone has their price and if it's for the benefit of the team why Not? A couple of defenders for that price and we'll be better off for it... A crackin' player but expendable as far as I'm concerned, ditto Dyer...
