I don't get it.... Harry's a wheeler dealer, always has been. Just now he's doing it on a bigger scale... Exactly wheeler dealer, at West Ham barely had any resources except upcoming talent like Defoe, Lampard, Carrick, Ferdinand. To call him chequebook manager, because he is in a position to sign players now is something else. He brings in alot of bargains/free transfers in his career its hardly chequebook style. your right, he spent very little at pompey. oh wait......................

mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif Being fair KD, he was good tonight I thought, I don't rate the two mentioned either really. I think it's time to put a bid in for Kranjcar. Have you seen Lennon this season? he's been immense. When Kaka says that Pennant is a better "footballer" then him, i somewhat see his point (altough i completely disagree with it), but his point becomes void when he also states that he's also a better "footballer" then Milner. By using the term footballer, i assumed he was basing his judgement on technique alone but then Milner is twice the player Pennant is, when it comes to that. I am now 100% convinced you don't even watch football games. Milner better technique than Jermaine Pennant. God have mercy on you for such profanity! :lol: That is a shcocking statement. Milner has been superb the last 3 or 4 games for us. Read into that what you will. its called good coaching. fwiw, i also believe pennant is a superior player to lennon and milner.

so you say he isnt? he did well at pompey, with plenty of cash. he couldnt lace the likes of o'neills boots man.

Well it's lucky that you're not a fan then. Your club is doing good this season so enjoy it while it lasts. I'm enjoying it very much, ta. Just commenting on Harry's approach to management. Don't think our good season impinges on my ability to comment on matters elsewhere, tbh. harry is a t***. i don't mind spuds at all tbh, but harry makes me want them to fail. i agree that they have a right to be worried, not quite as much as us, but they are spunking cash in the way we used to, and they dont have the manager to coach what he has as you say. i dont think harry will last fwiw. We have absolutly no reason wotsoever to worry whn it comes to the clubs finances tbh. The running of the club in regards to that department, is excellent. Have a look at a couple of pages back to see what our actual net spend is. We do however have to worry about the fact that we're in a relegation scrap and whether or not our players are actually up for the battle. i'm really not that bothered mate. a revolving door of players was more of what i was getting at, t doesnt do anyone any favours, and, without knowing the numbers, you must have one of the biggest turnover of players in the league. and now harry is signing what wasnt deemed good enough as little as 6/7 months ago. harry whinges every week about squad depth etc, and it shows him up, you have some real talent in your side, so his own personla shortcomings shouldnt be disguised by his weekly excuses. surely its the coach's job to get the ebst out of what he has? not blame that it isnt good enough every week? im sure the likes of fulham, wigan, west ham and hull who are above you, would do a straight swop of players with you. as i said, got nowt against spurs, but harry is a knob, a self promoting useless bent one at that.

yet more evidence of very very good coaching. fuck knows where some of our players with potential that we have had would be now if we'd had a good coachin team.

only fools and horses at its best

Well, yes, and the temptation to reunite the glorious, almost-top-half-of-the-table team of last season must be immense. I bet Levy soils his pants every time Harry tells him he's got a new transfer target (although he probably gets it from the media like the rest of us), in case he tells him he wants to exhume Danny Blanchflower. Wobbly faced c***. never a truer word spoken.

he's at it again. what a cunt of a man. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4852832,00.html

i'm not sure about it because he would never come in a million years

give this man a medal. he's the only ITK we have

he's been working there since new year

this.

i know! im fucked i reckon.

canny back up if you ask me, and for £1m is worth it. he'll certainly fill in for habib well enough.

setanta (havnt seen it meself, mate just text me to say it was on)

anyone take him for £1m??

craig gordon went for £9m and the kid has never had, and never will have a prime, he's fucking shite.

Comment: The blame game Turmoil in Toon once again then, and the only club employee who says anything in public is at pains to point out that none of this is his fault. There again, given the amount of blarney & b*ll*cks JFK has spoken since arriving here, taking his stream of consciousness outbursts at face value is about as useful as sponsoring Viduka in the Great North Run... Rather than blaming Keegan and Allardyce for the team selection problems he faces though, Joe should consider exactly why those two managers exited from SJP. Kinnear is missing the point by pointing the finger at the current crop of injuries. Although the club has failed to help itself by signing physically and emotionally suspect players in recent years, the flaws are more long-term. God knows what he was doing before he popped up here, but those of us who suffer this crud first-hand are only too aware of our repeated inability to either develop or sign players in crucial positions. Let's go back to August 2006, when we were moved to wonder just what the hell the club were playing at, as Glenn Roeder made a public trip to Rotterdam to watch Dirk Kuyt - although he'd already pledged to join Liverpool. Our squad shortcomings were all-too evident at that point, with frantic late transfer activity seeing the arrival of messrs Sibierski, Rossi and Bernard - one trier who was a worthwhile addition, one loanee who was rarely played and one complete waste of time who never appeared. Successive transfer windows saw Roeder's successors try and fail to make suitable signings. That culminated in the events of August 2008 that saw Milner depart, closely followed by Keegan, but still no signings in the areas we were patently lacking in then - and remain so now. Joe may also reflect on the fact that regardless of who is to blame for our demise, the fact he's within a country mile of a top-flight football club is purely because any credible candidate could see us for what we are - left high and dry, failing to back up words with deeds. Those responsible for the financing and recruitment of the squad should be. Some blame should be apportioned to Freddy Shepherd, but the fingers should be pointing fairly and squarely in the direction of Ashley and Wise. The most depressing news about this club in 2009 isn't the on-field strife - it's the fact that Kinnear has been offered a long-term contract. Allegedly. Previous to that, we believed that fans and players would tough things out until the end of this season, hoping that we'd retain our top-flight status, jettison Joe and try to reinvent ourselves yet again. Now that no longer looks to be the case - which may well have drastic ramifications in both the stands and the dressing room, as people on both sides simply throw in the towel, abandoning their seats/squad numbers. In a way though Joe's permanent appointment would complete the circle: meaning that the club was being owned, run and overseen at all levels by people with no credible track record in the game - and who can't even play the Geordie patriotism card like the previous mob. And even if three teams can conspire to finish below us in the final league table, we're struggling to see any grounds for optimism when considering next season. The thought of watching Shola Ameobi lead United out to a half-empty stadium hardly gets our pulses racing - with a catastrophic drop in season ticket and corporate sales. So what's the answer? Splashing the cash is only part of the answer, given our unsurpassed track record of lavish and useless purchases. If the current administration are unable or unwilling to sell up and ship out, then they have to try and reverse the feeling that the whole club is going to rack and ruin and being run into the ground - it's 1991 all over again. On current evidence they haven't got the first idea of how to do that - and have already passed up their best opportunity to salvage any credibility, given the amateurish performance so far in this transfer window. In fairness though, you would question the motives - or sanity - of anyone who wanted to join Newcastle in their current state. One phone call from Stephane Mbia to his Cameroonian compatriot Geremi would surely be enough to blow that transfer out of the water at any price... There's a danger that those "upstairs" confuse the current lack of public agitation from fans with their acceptance of the situation - that will be shown up as folly come May. Empty seats don't make any noise, or bring in any cash.

europe already surely? man utd will already be there?

probably posted elsewhere, but he claims he has a 2 and a 1/2 year offer in writing.

racist. ban please.
