You're right about that, he has even commented since being shown the door at West Ham that he wouldn't be coming back here for the same reason he left, his family.

Mort didn't say that we wouldn't buy anybody in January and it's been confirmed that Keegan wanted Woodgate in January and we had a £7 million bid accepted by Boro in January. This has been confirmed by Keegan, do you think Keegan was telling lies when he said we'd tried to get Woodgate?

I tend to believe the press a bit more when they carry quotes rather than made up bollocks, what do you believe?

The stupid thing is that we have no proof that Ashley isn't backing Keegan other than baseless press coverage, where we have quotes we have evidence that Keegan is being backed. The behaviour of Keegan also suggests that he is being backed because we've seen before what happens when he's not.

We've tried to sign £25 million worth of players that we know about and probably others that we don't.

Believe what you want, I'll believe something which has been well publicised and not contested rather than believe something which some people have concluded based on no evidence other than us bidding for players who ended up not coming here, something which nobody has denied. As far as I’m aware the media picked up on what Mort said and nobody from Spurs or anybody who represents any of the parties involved have said that what he said was wrong, the same goes for when he mentioned Woodgate. Surely somebody somewhere who was involved in one of the two deals would have said something if it wasn't true.

You don't have a problem but you throw tantrums once you've had a drink.

If you've got a problem then do something about it, I posted a comment that had nothing to do with him and he passed comment so I asked him to prove what he was saying just like in the other thread when he told lies so it isn't every thread and it wasn't only two in this one if you check. I hope this isn't going to end up with you throwing another tantrum. How come you never comment about anybody else or when he does it to others? You have a problem and you need to sort it out.

Of course it's healthy for the team because it improves the atmosphere which lifts the players.

Thanks, I didn't think you'd find any.

I'm sure some people on here will try to tell you that the last time Frings checked we were in the CL but changed his mind when he realised that we missed out this year.

He couldn't have, Oliver told us yesterday that his agent had offered him to us. Of course Oliver might have go something wrong for once.

That's a fact.

I clicked on the photo but it didn't take me to anywhere to see where anybody at the club had said we had a policy of lowering the wage bill or to where we could see quotes about us missing out on players because we'd offered less money than another team. Any chance of fixing the link?

I've given you quotes that we lost out on two players which we know we bid for and didn't get, both of these we are told went elsewhere for less money, a claim which I can't remember anybody denying yet its public knowledge that it was said and it was said in print by a lawyer. The only other two players who we know for sure that we were in for both came here. Have you any quotes to say that we have a policy of lowering the wage bill? Or, have you got any quotes from club officials that say we’ve lost out on any named players because we offered less cash?

Only about Keegan meeting Shearer in his boot room when it was public knowledge that they met down south. I didn't say that Keegan shouldn't talk to potential signings like you've just tried to imply. Keegan should meet players, something we know he did when we went for Modric because Keegan is quoted talking about when they came face to face.

Apology accepted.

Liar.

Bernard was a free agent and came in after the transfer window had closed.

I would just like to make it clear that I am not related to a Jock.

Ahhhh s**** man. Aye. f*** him. (Sorry Beyewatch.) Good lad, stick to your principles.
