Made up for him. That's brilliant.

RIP.

This is bonkers. £15m. And for a one season contract! I sincerely hope he proves worth the money for them. Seems a good guy even if we outgrew him about as quickly as we bought him.

He probably would've but I doubt anyone with good intentions would've come in. In spite of the ludicrous sums other clubs are going for, they're perennial European qualifiers with clear structure and facilities. I don't see how he culd've justified it considering the structural shell of a club. Either way, he made his bed and ended up lying in it. The dipshit would've made so much more out of us over the 14 years and from the sale if he just didn't have to be such a spiteful little bitch.

Found an article that implies he became a bit of a pariah for clubs after he took West Ham to court: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1415997-the-curious-case-of-alan-curbishley-footballs-forgotten-man Didn't remember it being KK levels of dissension.

Is there much reason he disappeared off the face of the earth? Dyche-like levels of achievement getting and keeping Charlton up and his West Ham stint wasn't a complete disaster, was it? Always seemed strange how he just never popped back up.

Get in. We must be on course for a shit-related discussion in Chat in the next few days then, too. Never change, N-O.

Take me back the good old days of 'should our best ball playing defender be moved to defensive midfield?'.

Sorry I just can't believe it's still going.

Have the past eight pages today all been about Shelvey? Just so I know if there's a single page worth catching up on.

There's obviously still a chance, even if I don't personally think we'll make it considering we've been punching above our weight. A lot will hinge on whether teams catch up/overtake us next weekend imo. Last match of Bruno's suspension, no major expectation of points with it being Liverpool. Hopefully with him refreshed and available to run the show post-League Cup we see a return to form. Obviously we don't want to be going in to next season relying so much on one player but that's where we're at this year.

You could see how much it meant to him. Lovely moment.

Offside there ffs.

Love how far behind commentators always are on their stats and facts. Talking like we're any sort of threat from set pieces outside of the first couple of months of the season.

This lad retired yet? Utter waste of a career.

Remember as a kid begging my mum to get me the bedroom set up that I'd see taunting me every damn time. Wallpaper, bedsheets, lamp, the whole shebang.

Yeah there'll be caveats in there somewhere. No chance the former ESL cabal are going to go from 'we're setting this competition up to guarantee top tier income forever more irrespective of performance' to 'yes reform football for the good of everyone'. If they're agreeing to it they'll have assurances they're the big dogs. He stated 'we've surveyed 50 clubs who agree change is needed..'. It's one thing to agree changes are needed. We all think football needs big changes so it doesn't eat itself. But did these clubs agree with what changes he's proposing? That's two completely different things.

Bring him home.

NFTs. It's time.

I think I got more excited at this thread name change than any transfer since the new owners arrived.

This. I know it's not what we're aiming for in the long term but they've already shown in a spell they can coexist. If Maxi isn't firing and Bruno is out, why don't we?

Welcome to N-O. Look forward to updates on him if you stick around.

When they talk about how many draws we're getting it always sounds negative but it's worth bearing in mind half of those draws would be losses in most previous seasons.

Quick. Wipe 90% of this thread.

Consider me already a converted Gordonite.
