Robster

I would have to expect there to be more attractive destinations for him... isnt there going to be a vacancy at Real Madrid in the Summer ??

I bet the Northern Irish are well f***** off with him. Have to say I think its a bad decision on his part - he was doing really well with NI and I thought he would have had the professional decency to see the job through. Such a loyal man !!! > I can seem him struggling next year. Still. I cant help but be relieved. At the back of my head I had visions of FFS giving him a call !!!

do they have a new home shirt to match ?

I think it looks OK At least the lion looks harder than the gay one on the new villa badge

I would like toi see how he plays in a B&W shirt under decent management and coaching. I am not his biggest fan but I think a better manager would get some more out of him than we have seen so far

Try this one.... www.amsterdamtournament.nl This then automatically forwards you to the address above... no details on there yet though

you said it right there. Its because FFS has come out now, before anything has happened, that is causing the problem. If he came out with some outburst after he has gone fair enough but to do it now is just plaint thick. From what I can see, its all just typical tabloid speculation about Owen and if FFS wanted to know whats going on he should get him up to his office and talk to him face to face.... not via the papers

Says it all. Has been mentioned before that we are a Leeds waiting to happen

If there is another way I would love to hear it because in principle, I agree that it is vital that the players have fans getting behind them. However, I have yet to hear of any better way for him or the board to take any notice. This latest Owen episode proves that he has learned fuck all. Chanting at him doesnt work. All that does is get the current manager sacked. He then feels he has given the fans what they wanted.

not really. I feel shit that it has got to this stage. Never been so depressed about the club in my life.

There is a setting on your profile where you can have swearing "shown"... I believe loads of people miss this. its defaulted to asterisk any swear words... worryingly I dont remeber changing my setting

Assuming Allardyce doesnt go there, I think Man City are a good bet for next year

I aint no fairweather fan mate. I havce been going since 1980 but there comes a tiome when you just have to say enough is enough. Its gone way beyond just supporting a team that arent very good.

I shant mate. If your happy with him acting on like like that then good on you. You have more patience that I have.

This fuckhead of a Chairman needs to be taught a lesson. No one on the board seems prepared to challenge him. Do not give him your money otherwise we will never get rid of him.

Everyone, to a man, has responsibilities in their job. Can this man not be taken to task by someone for coming out with stuff like that ?? He must surely be as vulnerable to disciplinary proceedings as the rest of us... this must be a sackable offence. Cant the board members give him a vote of no confidence or something like that ??

Whether a fluke or not it was fucking magic. Another one that should be in Sky's Best Ever Games catalogue.

Lets just be grateful that we are all discussing manager which at least some of us are pleased about. Be grateful its not like when we got Souness when not 1 person wanted him. Sams the MAN

He is the worst of the 3 options but beyond him I cant see who, realistically we could get so because of that I would take him. The frightening prospect could be that FFS would push Shearer to take the job

While this kind of jounralilsm fucks us all off, lets be realistic about this.... Englands Number 1 Striker is stuck at a club that is a complete mess and in utter turmoil. Would we really be surprised if he wasnt open to offers and vulnerable to bids from a bigger club.

As great as KK was, I am a firm believer in never going back because its just never the same the 2nd time around. I remember Howard Kendall going back to Everton... twice. He just couldnt recapture that original championship winning formula. however, i think he would make a great Charman or some other role on the board

Sign 'em up

So absolutely nothing is different from this morning then ??

we shouldnt always assume that if someone comes to us for an interview that they should automatically drop everything and come and join us. there could have been various reasons why he didnt join us back then. I agreed 100% though - I hope it doesnt backfire as well.
