Colos Short and Curlies

That'll do me :colo:

30k would be expected for a third round carling cup tie. Only ManU and Arsenal with a tenner offer beat that number (i think). losing 10k on that in the current situation when the game is on TV isn't that unreasonable imo

i think there is actually. how about Fabricio Coloccini's 70's Haircut? :colo: Colos Curlers - get on the case mods!

First of all apologies, I got whisked away to Glossop to work and haven't had a chance to look at the cash flow - will do tomorrow. Secondly, I'm not going to quote the post above but you can't take the wages in isolation. They need to be compared to other clubs and the timing of new TV deals. Back in 1998 Shearer was out top earner on about £40k a week (based on media reports I grant you). Bear in mind we signed him as a WORLD record transfer fee. Barton and Smith earn more than him now, I'd guess that £40k is a pretty average premier league wage now. Thirdly, someone asked about the frequency of wages. There is no set answer, it will be on a club by club basis. I know of a few clubs who pay youth players monthly and first teamers twice a year. Not that it makes much difference over a year. Finally, I know I'm being a cheapskate, but if anyone has the 2005 accounts could you post the deferred income figure for me please - reason being the accounting period changed in 2006, if the deferred income was higher in 2005 it will prove the timing of season ticket receipts for me, I'm interested!. Oh and Chez, I know I need a name change, just don't know what to. (Is there a Geordieboyo on here yet?) Ta

Doesn't Shearer like Tel? going back to the Roeder caretaker period - Shearer assisting Tel could work short term

Basically how I feel. Martinez and some of the continental names being bandied about like Deschamps might sound nice in internet land and could be very successful at a normal well-run club, but this club is a circus at the best of times, and at the moment it is completely in the shit. Can anyone honestly say that the vast majority of supporters would accept the manager of Swansea? I just can't see it. I really don't know what sort of manager Shearer would turn out to be, but if Southgate and Keane can do it reasonably well without being made to earn their stripes at some 3rd division club (which is a stupid argument to begin with) then I don't see why Shearer can't. We don't need a big reputation, or experience in the Turkish league or attractive football. We need a motivator and someone capable of lifting us out of this funk. Shearer might be a desperate, panic appointment but this is a desperate club that should be panicking. You need the fans on your side and you need to raise expectations. Forget about Zico and get real. We may well need to look at 'the manager of Swansea'. Who else would look at us - I have doubts over whether Martinez would want to come up at the moment. AS for the man, if he continues on his current developmental path then he will manage a top La Liga club in the near future. He has revitalised a Swansea team which was stagnating in division one after a couple of play off pushes and now has them in the top half of the Championship playing exciting attacking football.

Zoggy is talented but is a head down player. Put the right players around him and he is useful. However, relying on him to do anymore than put his head down run at people and try to make somethign happen and he will never deliver. Agreed, can we accomodate such a player right now? Its another tough choice, do you play someone who may create a chance out of nothing but who may also end up wasting every attack he is involved in (and don't get me started on the corners)

Did anyone else think that there was nothing wrong with Colo's ball. Taylor had plenty of time to play the ball, he dithered and put himself in trouble then tried to fanny himself out of it. I used to like Taylor, but he has started to go backwards, he needs a rest

N'Zogbia tonight reminded me of when I used to play football up to under 18 level and there was one player in every team who had more technical ability than any of his team mates. Unfortunately this player spent ninety minutes running with the ball with no attacking penetration, just wanting the ball stuck to his feet so he could look good. We've now made 3 very poor teams look at worst competant. Thats not good enough. We need a manager in now. The takeover can wait if it means we can get some direction again. I just can't think of anyone who would take it right now

Martinez

Shot of confidence thats not a typo! He needs taken out of the team for a little bit

If thats confirmed then it be either 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 Hopefully 4-3-3, couldn't bear Duff and Ron on the wings! Zog left Duff right Colo or Cacapa centre mid with Ron right back then perhaps?

Bananaman man!

From Wiki... The prince is accused of spending about US$14.8 billion of Brunei’s money on personal investments and roughly another US$13.8 billion for unknown purposes. In accordance with a settlement agreement signed in 2000, the prince began to return his assets to the state, including more than 500 properties, both in Brunei and abroad, more than 2,000 cars, more than 100 paintings, five boats, and nine aircraft

Whatever happend to the Sultan of Brunei eh? Wasn't he supposedly a fan back in the Keegan (original manager) days after we held a training camp there. Surely his wayward brother hasn't spend all the money on cencept cars and carparks

May bring him into some other role at the club and appoint a different manager Director of Football ftw pardon my ignorance, but what does ftw stand for? For the win i always thought so, but never really clocked on. guess i'm a bit thick ftw? I only got IYAM - If you ask me last week

Wonder if Dawson will be playing or if the shit he has dumped in his pants at the thought of Martins playing will keep him out

Can only be good news assuming all is true

Vince McMahon

So how does 3-4 weeks after the injury ocurred (Houghton) become 5 - 6 weeks in the first paragraph (injured 2 weeks ago, another 3-4 weeks out)

The game shouldn't be replayed imo. The fans would have to fork out again, neither club would subsidise it. I can see it going to court though if Watford needed 1 point to stay up/go up at the end of the season

I'm getting a sense of deja vu reading those comments. Sure I've seen them elsewhere today.
