I must have missed it.

"Fat bastard," I bet it kills you when you type that.

I've got no problem admitting that I'm glad that Shepherd has gone, why wouldn't I? I'll also stand by what you've quoted, I've got no problem with that either. Keegan going doesn't change that in the slightest.

I'll answer your question when you can show where I've said anybody but Shepherd would make good appointments, I'll not be holding my breath.

I'd like to know as I would then owe one of them an apology as I've blamed then both at times, the best result for me would be for me to be able to blame both.

That's possible, we may never know.

I'm baffled at the appointment and it doesn't become any clearer when trying to work it out. By that I mean the decision process and who actually decided to go for him and why.

His family were in London and he was here for all of the games and most of the working week. Quite a few people work like that though, I've done the same thing in the past, it's shit but becomes second nature.

He was here on a 12 month contract but it could have been extended if both sides wanted it to happen.

Maybe (that word again ) Mort didn't want to spin and con, I can't think of anything which he said or did that might suggest that he wasn't anything other than honest. He wasn't here long but he's made some changes for the better, at least it appeared that way at the time, I'd have him back without thinking and I doubt we'd be in this shit if he'd stayed.

Nobody was asking for Keegan to be brought back, Ashley wasn't under any pressure to go out and get him.

I got the impression that he walked but can remember something being said when he arrived, I might look for it.

I'm sure he was always here for a limited time to look at the club as a whole rather than the first team. Was he here for 12 months? He might have had a 12 month contract.

We're not selling games out, did the season ticket sales change our policy?

We made a 100% genuine bid for Modric, who wanted him was another thing.

It sounds like you're crap although that's just a guess.

Yes, you hunt in packs.

Shit, sorry. I thought I was still replying to 2J.

Weird isn't it? Second question no, third question nowt.

f*** off, I'm right all of the time Sorry, I wasn't clear enough, you must have missed the bit which is now bold.

Most of the people who I know that have been really successful in what they have done think they are always right, no matter what they do. I think that's how they are good although that's a bit too simplistic.

They are like two adult kids if that makes any sense and I think that they have both lost out which makes this situation even more moronic and sad.

I doubt he'd have known how things were going to turn out, none of us knew that. I just think it was too easy for him to walk but he was happy enough to meet Ashley so I still think he probably wanted a return.
