Owen, but that is unrealistic. Maybe Harper, the rest can leave.

Bottlers.

He must be bored alot, he's always opening his mouth about matters that don't concern him or Palace. I think most owners feel an obligation to not air their opinions on other clubs, this guy doesn't care, all he wants is to see his name in the papers.

I've never cared less about someones opinion.

No no no no no

I don't have that big a problem with him myself. I was willing to wait and see if his system worked longer term, even after Keegan lost his head again. I think alot of people have had a chance to judge the new boys and are now seeing that although the system had it's faults it did bring us in good players for good prices, it wasn't that bad.

Why bother with the Mourinho and Owen questions?

Duff is a name. It's sad but he's got to do what he has to, i don't blame him.

What are you talking about? Because i don't think Owen is world i want to watch s*** players? Is that what you're saying? Is that your logic? Is it? Eh?

No, it just sounded like he was overrating him big time.

We signed him from a bigger club than the one Eto'o plays for. So what? He was sitting on the bench most of the time.

World class striker? He's not Eto'o ffs.

Because if he stays he will have to appease the mob, which is a sad reason to appoint a manager.

Or Paul Ince, or Gianfranco Zola.

The problem is we are close to the alleged deadline, is the club going to be sold or is Ashley staying? If Ashley stays then does he stick with Kinnear? I would hope not. But if the club is close to be sold then obviously we should wait. The problem is we don't know shit about what's going on.

Hell no? I've heard worse options, most people were saying they would take Steve Bruce ffs. Grant knows his football. Explain please, how Grant knows his football? Who has he previously managed before his "jobs for the boys" stint at Chelsea? You can see by the way his Chelsea team played, they were organized and good tactically. Some are obviously putting that down to him just having a good team, but i don't think it is as simple as that. Why didn't Hughton do aswell as Keegan? Why didn't Souness do aswell as Robson? I have no reason to think he's a mug.

Baffling isn't it, not only would it make no sense at all for Ashley to sell players, but any potential buyer wouldn't stand for it either. Your talking about Ashley here though, he thinks to make life easier for the next lot taking over we should not have a full time manager in charge. So selling a keeper who is on big bucks when we have Stevie Harper + a host of goalkeepers who have been picked at various age groups for there country may make sense to him on some level. He's not a moron despite what alot of people like to think, and personally i think having an interim manager makes perfect sense as the news guys will want to bring in their own manager, it saves them having to pay-off whoever has the job. How many of these takeovers have happened & the new crowd have come in with a new manager as part of there plan? Or sacked a current manager with in a month of taking over so they could bring in there own man? If you were buying a club, would you be happy with the previous regime giving someone a long term contract even though they know they're selling?

I still don't see how Ashley would benefit from selling. Selling would annoy any buyer and shave value off the squad, and therefore the sale price, which includes the squads value. Ashley will get money from Given by keeping him, so why sell, during a relegation battle, and put the clubs future further in doubt?

What do you mean bring money in for Ashley? The value of the squad is in the clubs price, so he will get money for Given either way, selling would be silly considering we're in a relegation battle.

I didn't say it's like Allardyce's, he plays a different formation. I would say it's almost as bad to watch. Bruce would be another Souness, and i would cry if we signed him. If a takeover happens we will be able to attract far better.

How is he a good version of Allardyce? He has achieved less and his football is almost as bad. We may aswell just keep JFK, and i really don't want that.

That is a fox like. WOOF WOOF!!!

The mob must be appeased!!
