Some info is outdated and I have slightly modified opinions now but by and large I would love to have anyone of the excellent and decent candidates over Glenn Roeder. Wouldn't mind any of Roy Keane either. I like your list of excellent candidates, I'd add Hiddink and Koeman to that. I wouldn't have Sacchi on it and I'd also add Magath who is a free agent. blueyes.gif

Wot? This: As if you didn't know. You know full well I haven't bothered to read anything about it. I do. You've got to be more careful Parks, there's innocent, unquestioning minds about, you wouldn't want to corrupt them, would you? The way it seems to be reading is that Fat five freddy and his entourage will be the short term beneficiaries and long term it will be the club in the sense that there must be revenue stream tie ins. I still think it is a good venture for us. I wasn't mocking your post btw.

Walton is from Barclays and I thought he was more football development related...But I guess this broadly falls into that.

Financially the Dutch league might as well be called the liliput league fella.

Can't find any loopholes with that statement. Our board are a load of spin-doctors, not a load of liars. Essentially, we have secured (pending planning permission) a stadium expansion that will not cost us, at least not on a level that would bankrupt the club. There needn't be strings attached with this investment. A long enough lease, and I'm think 50+ years here, and permission to use the clubs brand is probably all many investors would require. Quite right James. As I said earlier a MASTERSTROKE form fat five freddy. blueyes.gif Plus the spinoffs and brand development oppurtunities will be boundless. I mean I'm surprised the coucil or the E.U. haven't been roped in (maybe they have)...But you mention job creation and money falls from the trees. so you concede you never would have thought of it if you had bought NUFC witrh your euromillions? It's the first thing I would have done tbh. Sorry 2nd thing after sacking Rodent and hiring a top class manager. Tbh if the area is condusive this kind of thing is par for the course...I will admit I didn't think fat five had it in him.

Wot?

All well and good Indi...But what actually are we putting in other than offerring the lease for which there will be rent (don't forget).

Tbh it would be hilarious of O'Neill took them down. He is close to achieve this.They are 4 points from 18th place At least after that no one ranting about O Neill being manager here Aye. blueyes.gif

Tbh it would be hilarious of O'Neill took them down. he would be sacked OMFGGZZZ we should gan for him!!!!

Xavi to ManU?

You picking on all the Michael's tonight?

SuperMac wins on the sideburns anyway.

I think Martins suggested it he's got some mates back in Nigeria who are waiting to release the develoment funds mackems.gif It's a Martins/Baba consortium backed by conflict diamonds.

Tbh if by some miracle FS decided on Van Gaal....We would brush them aside with a huge wad of cash...FS has more loose change than AZ have in the bank.

Love your advark ssr.

What makes you think he is good manager? Didn't he bring trophies also for Liverpool when he manage in there? In fact he is quite decent at Lyon also? it might be not as great as Paul Le Guen... but he not much worst than Le Guen... Im not sure how long he was manager at Liverpool but as far as i remember he only won the Uefa cup,Fa cup,Carling cup and the Super cup of Europe.Apart from that his career at Liverpool was nightmare and im sure that all of Liverpool's supporters were happy when he resigned About Lyon...They have played in the last 2 semifinals in the Champions league and this season when Houllier was in charge they were eliminated too early when alot of people though that they will reach the final My personal opinion is that Houllier is average manager.Maybe not as bad as Roeder of course but still not good enough Cobblers. blueyes.gif

Felix Magath keen to work in the Premier League. http://www.sportweek.nl/detail.asp?groupid=2&newsid=26637 Felix Magath zou graag willen werken in Engeland. De thans werkloze trainer zegt dit in Bild. Magath loodste Bayern München twee seizoenen achtereen naar de dubbel, maar werd vlak na de winterstop ontslagen." First bit says he'd like to work in England.

...what about 'that' backflip?

Correctamundo.... Fix the head and the body will take care of itself.

It's not technically borrowing. The hotels and stuff won't be owned by the club, so we don't technically have to borrow any money to build all that. Someone else is doing that and they'll own it, the club will still own the land though and get a 'free' ground extension. If that is the case and it sounds like it is....It's a very good deal for us... However, none of us knows the ins and outs of this deal. And there are other possible scenarios - that's all I'm saying. PS. I didn't see you show your fantastic knowledge of the world of real-estate before other people, myself included, explained how it works. It wasn't directed at you it was more a scattergun approach. I never pretended to have real-estate knowledge btw.

For the last time it is privately financed.

I was reading from the initial article in the thread, which unsurprisingly says exactly the same as your selected quote, along with the fact that Roeder/the team "deserved" to be jeered from the field. So there's two "criticisms" for you, apparently - when really only the second one is such. What, exactly, is your point here? I've already said that he's disagreed about the relegation issue and that in the Damien Duff article (i.e. the one that this thread was started about) the players take all of the blame apart from in the two lines I've already mentioned. How many times do you want me to say it? The players take the vast majority of the blame in today's Chronicle and there are a total of three sentences specifically about Glenn Roeder, two of which are exactly the same as each other but in different stories. It's hardly a damning indictment from Shepherd handed down via Oliver, is it? He has disagreed with Roeder before, as well, over certain comments that he's made at certain times - I think it's Parky-tastic that people are picking up so highly on one line that is merely a journalist offering an alternative opinion to a manager. More importantly word has got round that "I" have cut Glenda loose.
