Parky

Make the box concrete?

That's right and GJarn. Could you find that for me? Also Parky YOU of all people really shouldn't play the "yeah but according to you" game ....and here he is...To plead his feisty case.

absolutely mate. Do you want any more advice You took yer time.

That's right and GJarn.

I thought you might avoid this one, Parky. The honest answer is I don't know. Ronaldo has started badly and it will take time for Nani to settle. Rooney out. Giggs is past it and the keeper is dodgyish....Fuck knows how they won the league.

Yes Dave but according to you Roeder would still be here. Wasn't that you? I thought it was you? Nah. I even bollocked someone for FACTING he would be staying. It was you, you pulled those towers. YOu fuck I have it on good authority it was you. Let me look at those fingers.

He seems a very honest and decent sort and truly a 'details' person. I think he has a very good understanding of how business 'deals' and how business should work. However he might have been a little slow to adapt to the fooball environment as was hinted at by SA. His interviews have been steady and he has made it clear with regard to the debt management and long term planning for the club. He seems a little safety first but that is what we needed at this time. Doubts still linger in some circles whether they see Sam as their ideal choice as manager yet he has gone to lengths to dismiss them. I don't think we will see Mort's real contribution filter through for a couple of seasons yet. Thoughts?

In the case of Jol if you pay even scant attention to the Spuds sites there is definitely the opinion that communication between the DOF and Jol broke down last year over a number of issues and hasn't been right since. For Jol who I consider a competent manager it must be frustrating having this geezer working against you behind the scenes. And if they were to look on here a few weeks ago they would see the majority were under the opinion that we had no money and that Ashley and Mort wouldn't back the manager, basically people putting 2+2 together from what little they get from the media. I thought this was going to be the season Jol was found out in your words, now you're saying he's a competent manager. Make your mind up. The clue is in the word 'competent'.

Yes Dave but according to you Roeder would still be here. Explain? It's is self-explanatory no?

Why would any Toon supporter in their right mind waste their precious time on there? Comedy value? Kaboul is the new Campbell etc...

It was.

This is all utter cack. How did it get to 8 pages?

They've spent fuck loads of money. Some business plan. so did we under souness. Spending is a lottery whatever the set up at the club. GS was just the wrong manager. Chelsea aside I don't see that Spurs buys have been that astute tbh.

Open your eyes the thread is about descision making reg players at football clubs ie DOF's etc...I'm saying when this process is done by comittee or 'others' ie NOT the manager...Problems arise that deflect the vision of good managers and even 'great' managers like Mourinho.

They haven't spent a penny have they? They've spent money and had the most successful 3 years in their history. Your point being? It's Kenyon's point that matters. Yeah, but what was your point? Or did you not have one? Kenyon's thinly veiled critique of Mourinho. I was suggesting Chelsea wasn't a very good example to bring up of a club having a DoF and it not working in the Premier League though. They aren't and neither are Spurs. Going purely off the relative recent records of the clubs. Which is all that really matters. The rest is largely conjecture about wranglings behind the scenes. So who are we blaming for the Spurs left side? So, that was the point you were making when you brought up Kenyon? Spurs' left side. Not even worth replying to that one Parky. Nice try, see if you can hook someone else. I though YOU were talking about Spurs AND Chelsea? Let's put it another way ManU might have won the league last year cause Mourinho didn't get the players HE wanted.

Every man and his dog has know about Alex for 3/4 years now. It's hardly what I call 'a find'.

I shall refer to him henceforth as 'pinhead'.

Pini Zhavi is a close friend of Roman who has also suggested and done the deal for the new Israeli coach to come to Chelsea. PZ has a villa on the Cote de Azur half a km from Romans place and spends time on Roman's yacht Pelorus every time it visits Monaco. They are close friends. You my dear aren't even 'barking' more like a whimper. mackems.gif

Hardly kneejerk and hardly planning, they've just spent massively, more than Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal in the last 3 years and they've somehow managed to go backwards. With the money spent they should be in the champions league places and have a better spine to the team than Robinson, Dawson, Jenas. blueyes.gif Or maybe it was the lasagne? mackems.gif
