His post-match interview today was a bit... iffy.

agreed.

he wouldnt say fuck all would he.

if we approach, he'll take our hand off imo

Hughes.

would have rather had harry tbh.

We're still clamouring for Shearer. I love being told what I think.

great isnt it.

i also love being told im happier losing 4-3.

they havnt got a clue man.

every paper in the land cant stop talking about us, neither can the mongs on the radio, the pundits on the tv, or the ill informed muupets on ssn.

yet we arn't a big club??

dont seem to remeber this clamour when citeh sacked pearce, bolton sacked the dwarf, spuds sacked jol or fulham sacked sanchez.

fuck the lot of them man.

hughes all over the rags tomorrow

So he's now apparently paid off all of the debt?! Bloody hell.

 

He's going to get much more hands on?! Bloody hell.

 

All he wants to do is play attacking football and win trophies. Bloody hell.

 

Obviously actions speak louder than words, but the prospect of this combined with Alan Shearer at the helm has me wetting my kecks.

 

Shearer?

 

Here's how I feel about Shearer ... I think he would be a good manager but as far as buying players goes I think he would struggle massively.

 

I think Shearer would be the sort to always go after Brits. Shearer would have bought someone like Smith too.

 

Does he really have the knowledge of world football that will allow us to get the best players we possibly could to the club?

 

That would be my biggest worry.

?

scolari is a good shout.

still can see us only going british, and i think a shearer/keegan combo looks the way we'll go

I've never been sure of the financial implications of the debt he paid off, whether he just paid off loan debts for deals etc or whether he paid the lot off, including the mortgage on the stadium.

 

He says there we don't owe anyone anything - if that's true and gate receipts will now go 100% into club coffers, that bodes fantastically well for the future. If you take a general rough estimate of, say, £28 per ticket, 52000 works out at about £1.5m per game. That's £27m over the season just for league games, without TV deals, sponsorship, the rest.

 

Get the pending massive decision right and the future looks rosy, despite the current malaise.

agreed.

the thought of him hoying money at big al makes me sexpiss.

Brought butterflies to my stomach. I think its clear he's dsperate to invest. I just wish he would get this appointment right, something tells me that the defensive minded managers, like mourhino et al, wont be on the list.

 

 

i just find it strange that he went for harry?

Cracking Interview.

 

agreed, and after reading the whol ething i feel a alot better.

 

anyone else get the feeling the new bloke is going to be heavily backed?

 

He's pretty much said it's about winning, not the money. I can see him backing his manager to the point of buying a trophy. Happy with that tbh.

fucking right!

i can see some big big spending on the horizon!

pro's - knows the club and how it works up here.

          would get full backing and time.

con's - lack of experience.

          terry mac would probably still have a job

sounds promising.

but i have no faith in him bringing in the right man

For all the absolute s**** that has masqueraded as journalism the past week that article pisses on the lot of it.

refreshing to read that isnt it, after the ill-informed bullshit that we've been fed recently

cant see jol being appointed here after thy sacked him at spuds, cant see kelmsley giving ashley rave rviews like

i reckon if shearer comes in, and has someone with him, its a lot more likely to be venables than keegan

HE ISN'T IN CHARGE MAN

Robbo asks for a transfer according to the Daily Mail.

 

So much for 'I'm going to fight for my place in the team'.  Maybe the signing of Stekelenberg or Kameni isn't too far away and Robbo knows what that would mean.

 

 

did he not expect to be drop after constantly making mistakes?

and being shite

hughes or maclaren i fear

rather him than harry, hughes or maclaren

must be one of those days, so dont be surprised to much by 'arry

barnes is a canny shout tbh

Just buy us some good midfielders please.

this plus sol would do me

If we've got £20m to spend and half of it went on Dean Ashton i'd be livid.

 

We need 2 centre mids and 2 strikers imo - Diarra + D'Allesandro + Saviola + Crouch or something

 

The defence will be good enough if he brings Tony Adams with him, keepers fine, wingers will do.

2 strikers????
