Because that would make sense. Seriously. Argh. What a shit club I support.

How fucking pathetic

That sincerely confused me for a minute

So Phil Brown is an embarrassment to Hull as well then? After that stunt he pulled against City? yeah.

fucking hell Kinnear. What a disgrace.

I'd rather Ranger not come on today. Would kill me to miss his debut.

cos they sell them in deals to tv companies, but i do agree with the point your making. Liverpool have one for 50 quid a year, can't see why we couldn't do the same.

Fucking club really needs to come out with an online tv service. "Hi, I'd like to pay you for something. Wtf won't you sell it to me?"

If I end up missing Nile Ranger's debut tonight I'm just about going to explode. Come on ITV!

Pretty shit Hull side. This should be interesting.

Ah well, so much for that glimmer of hope. Looks like text only today then.

Surely it'd be physically impossible to get everything up to SJP on such short notice? Hope so though. Literally every fucking network in the world was covering the Chelsea match.

Great price. Simple fact is that despite his strengths Geremi simply no longer has the fitness to be playing Premiership football. Very happy with this move as long as the usual caveat "if we get a replacement in..." comes through

Roeder was the worst manager we've had for years IMO. If he was a school teacher the kids would be firing pellets at his arse through a pea shooter every time he tried to write on the blackboard. I disagree So do I. The team played much better looking football than under Souness and Allardyce, and had no worse results. Remember us holding Manchester Utd to a 2-2 draw with a defence consisting of Solano, Taylor, Huntington and Edgar? Sibierski up front? Hell, even Pattison got a few minutes. Our squad was even worse then than it is now. Roeder's main problem was that he was incapable of getting good players in. Remember getting beaten 5-1 at home by Birmingham City? Roeder had his share of shitters

Yes, and they came to SJP and one of our former players enabled them to pinch a point - true..?? As Fading star points out, our record against pooer teams is hardly great, is it? Read beyond the first line. Please.

Because he brought through LOADS of class young players.l By all accounts he was a good, hands-on coach for the youth setup. Not his fault that our youngsters have been useless in the past few years.

Wouldn't mind putting him back in charge of the youth setup here.

So are we changing the topic to (apparently not)?

It's just really hard to think of a player as s*** when he was quite recently the best striker in the world and is still only 26. Shame he turned out to be a complete idiot.

It's worked elsewhere (and you could argue here with Hall) - is there a fundamental reason why it can't work here? If you say "credit crunch" or some variation then can you tell me there are no more people rich enough, with non-diminished assets, or should I point a few out? Admittedly none of them have expressed any interest but theres nothing to stop them doing so. you are dumb. everyone has been affected by this. I think most "rich" people have suffered more than the average person as most of their wealth tends to be invested in the market, hedge funds and real estate. With the market down as much as it is. Most people at the high end of the spectrum have lost over half their wealth and are not currently in a position to make a luxury buy like a sporting club. Prove it. Investing in football clubs aside the idea that the rich have "suffered" is ridiculous - down to their last couple of billion - my heart bleeds. Also a s*** load of money was made by short selling - who gained from that? The rich may not be standing in line at the soup kitchen, but the desire to plunk 400 million initially and God knows how much in the long term into a football club abates considerably when you've just lost about half of your fortune. Roman apparently lost around 90% of his money during the crisis by the way. And by the summer or the end of the year he'll have it all back. I've not got your amazing powers of precognition, but lets just say I have my doubts as to whether every billionaire on Earth will magically recover all their losses by next summer. I've worked with financial software since the 80s - stocks and assets always bounce back and rise over time - it's just a question of how quickly. The more you have as a starting point (assuming they haven't sold out) means the quicker you recover. As I also said money was made from the collapse - some rich people somewhere either offset their losses or made money. Unless you've been "working on financial software" since the 30s, you have simply not seen anything of this magnitude. I'm not saying that it'll never recover and we're all fucked, just that it's presumptuous to assume anything about where the economy will be in a year.

Indeed. The whole Chimbonda thing is equally though.

What did Kinnear say about Appiah? Oh and the spurs itk reporting that Appiah has rejected our 6 month contract offer and is looking for a longer deal. 1878 i think we asked for Baines or Lescott tbh. With Bale apparantly being loaned out, i guess lb is a priority (redknapp has said before that we're short on left backs). Shame you sold your best one in the summer.

Certain things seem a bit suspicious. How on Earth did nobody notice him training with us for two months? Why does he seem to have no club affiliation at the moment? Why does the photo have him wearing a Toon training top in what seems like Brazil? Caio Vinícius Ferreira seems to be a fairly common Brazilian name so Google isn't helping me sort out what the deal is with this kid.
