And I'd imagine they might even be offering less than then, he wanted £400m didn't he back in September? I'm sure I read somewhere that the bid he recieved was closer to £150m.

Contract expires on the 30th June. Get the fucker cleaning out the bogs in SJP.

I've been saying that since Kinnear got ill ffs Either him or John Sitton imo.

Fair play.

Do you think they'd just give us money for nothing?

Will his version of MI5 allow you to do that? If there is any progression, I shall contact a few organisations and individuals in the UK (MPs, Amnesty International) and see what comes of it. Can you not wait & see if they do a good job of running the football club first? No. Death to the Sultan!

Notts Forest job, he got it midway through the season just gone.

Be great if they ended up getting Phil Brown instead.

No, it just shows that I've strong beliefs that every human should be free, and that I'm not morally bankrupt like some people. What about the kids who work in sweatshops to produce the shoddy clothing sold in Mike Ashley's shops and online businesses. Do they prick your consciences too? Are all your clothes fair-trade? Do you only buy chocolate that is fair trade? And coffee, tea and sugar? And cereals? Cos I bet you that you don't. I've bought some beer before because it was fair-trade. Yeah but you're not preaching to us about how these Omani blokes are the devil incarnate.

Always used to buy him for mid-table Prem teams on Football Manager. Wasn't bad, if I remember rightly. Heh, as soon as I saw Shak's post was about to say the exact same thing, just replace "wasn't bad" with "was fucking class".

He actually knows how to use his pace, playing on the shoulder of the last man and all that. He knows how to get in behind. That makes him more useful (not better) than Martins at the moment.

bet you wish you hadn't asked

I think this. If he thought he had even an outside chance of getting the job back he'd have been shitehawking in the media for weeks.

We don't own the free hold to the land, the ground is owned by the club and the land is on leasehold like many other properties. We are no where near being on the brink of administrration and nothing like Darlington at all. Scaremongering nonsense tbh.

This. The upstairs people are trying to sign global superstars... Hughes is signing decent Premiership players who will be surplus to requirements when they eventually get all those galactico type signings in. They will never crack the top 4 whilst Mark Hughes is there, I promise it.

If that was Hoddle's assessment of Cole, its a good job Martins isn't English and had been around when Hoddle was manager ; he wouldn't have merited CONSIDERATION for the England squad, let alone be left out.. Also, Hoddle had the luxury of selecting one Alan Shearer as his main striker - are you now going to try to compare Martins to Shearer as well...! I wasn't the one drawing comparisons, I was just correcting an incorrect interpretation. That said, one could argue that Martins was comparing himself to Shearer when he consciously chose the #9 jersey Martins said many times in that first season that he did not want to be compared to Shearer because they are totally different players.

This. Should give it at least one more season in Wales.

Ah, right. I saw his picture on my (muted) SSN before and then got a text about it.

Apparently Tony Adams has been approached for the Celtic job :lol:

Aye, Cole's is outstanding.

I think James is taking this a bit too seriously. Just shows he lacks emotional maturity.

Jonathan Greening? (could be wrong there) Leroy Lita is available on a free. Two year deal, we're laughing. Greening didn't play in the final and didn't drop down to the championship for another 7 years after that 7 years!?!?! My bad.

Yeah, but that was usually "wide of the mark".

For free he's surely worth it.
