Reputed to be a good coach. Fingers crossed he can help get the players all pulling in the right direction again once the window shuts.

 

Brian Kidd, Sammy Lee, even Steve McClaren et al. Reputedly good coaches. Terrible managers.

and Calderwood is coming to manage us?

What can he improve on?

 

Well to be honest he couldn't make things much worse could he?

 

Well we'll see.

 

 

Could Bring back Nigel Pearson 

The next SAF. Mark my words

Chimbonda having a medical at Spurs apparently.

dear me

edit: what are spuds fans saying? iirc they were delighted to get shot of the mercenary cunt!

Oooooh NE5, is your nose getting bigger? Are your pants on fire? If you haven't looked at the finances thread why was your name in the users currently looking at it several times?

 

you know he's telling fibs. he just can't justify his undying support for someone who's been shown to have been dragging the club down into a deep dark abyss. i'll be very surprised if he actually gives in and posts in that thread tbh

 

from where we came, in the interests of balance...not like we had decades of top flight stability is it?

which was relative obscurity was it not?

f*** knows why we've waited 'til the 26th to start making offers.  

We desperately needed the Given cash

I believe the Given transfer is a goer, and has given us breathing space in terms of funds. The 10m from the transfer will see us bag Ebondo and hopefully M'Bia, in addition to one of the youth strikers being bandied about such as Ruiz or Remy. Would be a decent window imo.

Newcastle keeper Shay Given is set for a £10m move to Man City with officials meeting on Monday to tie up the deal. (Daily Mirror)

:yikes: :yikes:

10m is not enough. I would have insisted on the original 14m. He's that valuable to us, and we know shitty can pay it. Nee fucker else is able to sell them their first choice keeper, as nee fucker else has a deputy as able as Harper.

I will be gutted to see him go. Almost as gutted as I was to see Andy Cole get sold.

I just hope they can sort out a gentleman's agreement not to play Given against us if it's his first match with City.

Is Elano still at City? If so I don't see why we shouldn't go after him as part of the deal, he's just what we need.

A fickle Brazilian who may not have the heart for a relegation dog fight is not what we need at the moment imo.

What we need is an experienced campaigner who will come in and know what it's all about. We need someone to come in and have an effect on the team similar to the effect Beardo had when he returned.

i'd take someone like Danny Murphy ahead of Elano any day at the moment in this particular context.

Nobody's forgotten Woodgate.  He played in the 6-2 defeat to ManU at SJP in April 2003. Unlike some of our recent toastings, we were actually at near-full strength that day (no Speed or Robert only) and it was already 4-1 at half time. Our response to that game and its many shortcomings was a single signing, Bowyer on a free.  Now if it were not risky enough signing a single player for the next campaign, we went and got about the only lad in the country facing a long European ban and then did not even register him so that the ban would be served. The predictable result was bye bye CL and bye bye CL revenue.

 

The rest is all old ground so I'll leave it here.

  Certainly the gravest error our then powder-puff chairman had made during his tenure. A bigger mistake than hiring Souness and appointing the fans' no.1 choice Glen Roeder.

Sometimes when I think of Ashley and this mess, I feel nostalgic about the Shepherd era and the good times we had back then. But then I remember the total shambles and cobblers of a job he'd done to send us into a spiraling free-fall and thank the lord someone was stupid enough to buy him out and rid the club of him.

He's in now, Derek, so f*** off back to your desk and work on getting others in, Pronto.  You smarmy looking little s***.

 

  you tell the c*** wbcp'in

  I regularly like to pretend I'm a competent, caring, club owner.

Oh! Thought you was pretendin to be hardman Joe! 

  Soz big Mike 

Simon Bird's written an article saying we owe Ashley £238m. f***ing shameful.

 

Tuesday's press conference should be interesting...

 

"Which one of you is Simon Bird?"

 

"Me"

 

"Alright Dezza, hand me the lube. Simon, bend over you c*** "

 

Think we know the rest!

FYP

Balde is like a bad version of Bramble if that is possible

agreed! an abomination of a defender

He's in now, Derek, so f*** off back to your desk and work on getting others in, Pronto.  You smarmy looking little s***.

  you tell the cunt wbcp'in

Rommedahl was a right winger wasn't he?

That he was, this was during one of Denmarks finest times for wingers, Jesper Gronkjaer on left Rommedahl on the right, two of the fastest players in the world. Lovenkrands by all accounts is really fast so I'm not too worried personally, I see him being a Sibierski esq signing slightly bemoaned at first but will turn out to be good.

 

f***ing hell I forgot about Gronkjaer  is Lovenkrands a left winger/forward so Rommedahl wouldn't really have kept him out of the side.

 

I stand corrected.I don't know my Gronkjarse from my elbow.

classic william tray

Has NE5 said anything on this subject yet?

Nope. But we're all on full alert.

Quite interested in his input tbf

The problem with Bullard is that if he ever goes on one of those visits to see sick kiddies, he could pull the wrong face and actually make them worse.

 

We shouldn't take that chance. Not with childrens' lives at risk.

No one with any ability wants to sign for us - why the f*** would they? Kinnear can try his bollocks off, Ashley could give us £10/15/20m to spend - no one will come here.

 

Stop acting like a child.

 

My goodness.

Stop acting like a mother 

Would everyone please, for the sake of all that is pure, start spelling Coloccini correctly?

Thank you very much

Signed

I'd like to touch him,,,, with a fkn blowtorch.

Penis our management.

Peni tbh

 

 

“I’ve moved him to the training ground – I wanted him more hands-on".

 

 

JFK won't be everyone's cup of tea, but he's a hard b****** if he's telling Llambias how it's going down

i'm really struggling to think of a club in the top flight who hasn't fielded a weakened team deliberatly in the FA CUP over the last few years.

 

the only one i can think of is us !

Fair enough, but why come out and say it? He's a cockend beyond belief, and the fact that he now works for the yids makes me hate the pair of them even more. Cunts deserve each other.
