I feel pretty much entirely this way. Changing managers is not the correct option at this point. Let's get some players in during the next window and go from there. We won't be dead in the water come January so there's no need to panic.

I'm talking about football in general. Very different climates, expectations, and above all, gulfs in class. You could go from Div 2 -> top 3 finish in the First Division in those days. These days, never.

To be fair, comparing what KK did in the 90s and what Hughton has to deal with now is like apples and oranges. Two totally different climates in football.

Can we give him the 3m EUR to pay off his contract?

No clue. All they have really talked about as far as player signings goes is that they want "young, hungry" players with things to prove rather than the typical designated players.

My guess would be that they picked him up because he was the highest scorer in the league behind Ryan Pore. Could make a good back-up player if not a starter. A lot more people to sign yet.

Bright Dike Ryan Pore Kevin Cronin and the surprise was Eddie Johnson formally of Man U (academy) and the Austin Aztex.

I have a feeling it will be: Cronin, Pore, Dike, and perhaps Alhassan being the four players unveiled today.

Interesting. Will watch. Hoping, though knowing just how unlikely it is, that they have a designated player ready to be announced. That would be awesome but the rumour is that they are saving that for after the kit announcement in December to garner more interest so we'll see.

http://www.mlssoccer.com/videos?catid=1916&id=9750 Portland Timbers are to announce their first MLS signings (rumored to be USL players already at the club) live.

What's the craic on the Man U boards?

This.

I couldn't realistically see him put money into anything other than the LA Galaxy.

I know we're way down the table but one win and we can jump almost half the table. Still early doors.

That chick in the tunnel behind the managers

really good craic by the mackem's in the chat room where I'm watching this match too: "Anon2867: evrtime i go to a party i take wellies coz its knee deep in clunge"

really fucking poor match.

Would Rooney go back to Everton? Would Everton fans have him back?

A lot of MLS teams are steering well clear of Pires at the moment, take from that what you will.

Would like to see Tuncay here.

Not only that, but he's a total moron who doesn't show any sign of learning from his mistakes. We should get rid asap, he's not worth the hassle. No way man, didn't you hear? Legend in the making.

Would anyone take Hodgson here if we were to let go of Hughton around the same time that Liverpool bins Hodgson?

So we're basing his ability on a 65 minute appearance in one of our crappest performances of the season? Christ man, the way people write off players here is ridiculous. Based on that measure, we'd only have Coloccini, Jonas and Shola left at the f***ing club You hit the nail on the head with this one.
