i'd echo this. i think he'll do ok. i'd like to see him with Martins as he'd look better with a quick player stretching the opposition. also needs to work on his first touch as he's not got skill or pace to fall back on if it fails him.

The team clearly needs a manager.

Precisely. I hope (but doubt) that when the dust settles we get an explanation. However for now I can see the club and Keegan's stance of not directly speaking to anyone, it would just result in more mud slinging. But similarly I can see why people feel frustrated in not hearing anything. IYAM the club were not saying anything in the hope that it'd calm the protests tomorrow. They're probably cursing the LMA for coming out and making that statement. It's a joke we're relying on the League Manager's Association to keep us up to date with what's happening. Has Lambrini even given any kind of interview/statement yet on anything?

They don't seem that interested do they?

The nightmare continues.

The club is being run as some kind of social club with Dennis pouring pints for his mates.

Why do we have to be run like a business or be run like the previous regime. What is wrong with spending some of the £40m Sky give us every season like a normal football club? We'd still be living well within our means. Ashley drinks the sky money for a laugh. As you say...but why Coloccini? Don't think he's a big drinker. Do you have an opinion with regard to the original post? I know this is all one big larf to some, but since there is such a militant mood at the moment serious replies would be appreciated. I'm sorry I know nothing of the 'Evil Masterplan'. :-[

It's 1.4 billion now. Financial analysts are also compalining it is hard to unravel all his intertwined business stuff..... are you sure of sentence 1 bearing in mind sentence 2 ? You have me there. I liken financial analysts to the Miranda character out of The Devil Wears Prada, "This season i shall be mostly investing in crocs". Bunch of retarded cunts. Cocktail drinking nancy boys to the last.

Clever operator.

Tissues.

Apparently he's been offered the chance to train with them and go to a game, seems like more of a publicity stunt then an actual trail. Lightning bolt got there first apparently.

DD will end up at Lyon.

Jobs for the lads etc.

Godzilla? For the fish? Certainly a few about.

never mind them, or Owen or Martins, Trappatoni has said Serie A sides should go for Given now that we're in a mess. Wouldn't blame him tbh. Owen?

Doesn't that contradict one of the basic arguments of the Ashley critics, i.e. we are operating on a buy to sell policy? Coloccini was signed before Milner's sale. In any case, if you were looking purely from a profit point of view, why spend £10m on an international centre half from a major league? For a third of that you could probably buy a defender from Africa "with potential" and a good re-sale value. i said all summer we'd probably see one 'big' signing and i think coloccini was it. i think the potential thing is a general policy that you can see through our other transfers more so. at that point i thought the board was beginning to show some balls, but almost immediately Faye left, and it started going downhill again. doesn't it strike you as strange that they'll spend over £5mill now and possibly more later for a relativly unknown spanish forward that the manager didn't want ? Someone must reckon Xisco will turn out alright. Time will tell as they say.

Godzilla so he can step on fat Ashley's head.

If we don't compete the likes of Collo and Guti will soon leave. (thread closed/)

I think people now realise Mort was the only sane one amongst that lot.

me neither. this Ashley hatred is stupid. nobody has the facts and just like sheep, they gravitate to the Messiah. This is why we are always on the wrong side of the media. We need gods/messiahs etc to put us all in a zombie state. Bollocks.
