So why did they sack him ? Because he was being poached by us behind the scenes for the last 6 months. It's how I read it. They got tired of his interest and chit chat about our job.

New crooks will replace the old crooks. Bigger crooks got irritated when they realised that they had no trough at FIFA. SA WC press conference live they just said they had no issues about sending Jack Warner the 10m to distribute. Someone took a beifcase to France (general laughter in the press corp) but they can't remember who it was....

Should never have given that world cup to Russia. #Yanksgonuclear

He must know a bit about football by now. #expectationslowered

90% of these stories are put in the papers by agents.

I'm getting to the point of accepting nothing will happen till the end of June and even then it will be some kind of bungle.

He'll get a suit and a haircut. His new name will be Carvier.

Nobody has been approached. Nobody. There is no shortlist.

It'll be mid-July at this rate. And if you start seeing Carver with a haircut and a suit on......

If they had any sense they'd get Mc and V with Viera as assistant and then take over a couple of years down the road. Best of both worlds. Leave no space for Charverstien.

It has to be Viera so it won't be.

This club would be prime for a Louis Theroux doc...Just see him wandering around low key asking our drones semi-metaphysical questions....

Up and coming blue chip managers would want too much control. The architecture and environment at the club would clash with their forward thinking ways. The club it seems is determined to get someone who isn't going to cause waves as far as I can see. These have been the dominant signals.

Can't say. Neither have managed in the PL. Done a bit of reading up on V and it looks like he has the self-belief.

He's already said he doesn't want anymore mid table stuff.

Don't forget he'll have the pin no. of the Man C credit card.

It could work and he has a very good contact book around Europe already. If supported correctly I'd rather something left field like this than Joe Managah.

Masterstroke.

He's just spread out the votes to areas where he can gain most control (bribe). Fifa is hated in Europe.

And why in the name of fuck has Asia got nearly 50 votes (just a few less then Europe)?

Problem is Asia and Africa have too many votes (nearly a 100 between them)...South America only has 10 and Europe 53. Africa and Asia are very pro Blatter.

They use a moneyball type database and a transfer committee.

It's only the first leg isn't it? Yeah but one down at home.
