This. something about the douglas story just doesn't ring true. even if Kinnear hadn't heard of him, you would have thought out of respect for carr he would listened to why he thought he would be perfect for us, and he would have watched a few dvd's......then again it is JFK we're talking about. Ashley loves his free transfers. Logic went out of the window the moment Kinnear Ashley came here.

Erm, that's the least I should be concerned about if I were you.

my avatar has a nice butt That's an excellent rear Sir but it lacks the impact the one Sewelly posted the other day. link ? best I can do , beaten man a suppose for now ...... Aw I dunno if you want to see that man. That was truly NSFW anarl.

He isn't going to come cheap though. Judging by the pride Kinnear had when talking about selling for profit players bought in on 'frees' and small fees, we will more likely than not go for the bargain approach again. Theoretically they can just look to upgrade the 4th choice CH and that wouldn't be too tough a task.

It wouldn't be so bad if not for the pointless blue pinstripes (Puma always comes out with that shit) and the vast unnecessary break in stripes that the Wonga logo can't even cover. And of course the perennial white border around the badge. Wish we have a proper kit manufacturer.

Oh dear, someone taking a Mrs Bimpy forum joke seriously.

Imagine him getting his hands on Kinnear after he gives him a stupid name.

He's signed for Fenerbache or some Turkish club hasn't he?

Go back into Mrs Bimpy's arms. All will be fine.

Our matchday revenue is in the 20 to 30s of millions, which is easily covered by the new tv deal. So long as we stay in the league he won't give a damn.

If he cares about bigger profits it would have been in his interest to realise the potential of the club by having a well-managed club at all levels, focus on timely transfers that improves us, getting the club to be successful which in turn will generate greater income. Yet he is happy with making a mockery of the club and its fans, appointing the wrong people on account of friendship, focusing mainly on bargain-hunting and saving a few 100ks, and us narrowly relegation with a top 10 finish being satisfactory. We are his plaything. If we retaliate through season tickets and merchandise, we just get less or no money for transfers. Sadly we have no control over the happenings. The only way it will knock into him will be at the expense of the club being in the football graveyard, years upon years of not touching the PL any time soon.

Even if the team plays in front of an empty stadium and the best part of 20-30m's worth of matchday revenue gone, he would just be as nonchalant. For him to be truly concerned is if we go down the long tedious road of players leaving and replaced by trash, relegation with no realistic chance of coming back up for years, losing out on those tv millions and league payouts, and him practically totally losing out on his investment. The current tv megadeal has only given him more leeway to engage in his warped ideas of personal entertainment. The only 'realistic' way to get out of this predicament is for him to sell up and us getting new owners.

25m euros apparently. Could elevate them to another level now that they have sorted out some of their issues and there isn't going to be an exodus of key players this summer. Alex Ferguson retiring and the managerial changes at the top clubs can only help too.

There is no need, Joe Kinnear created that database on his commodore 64 . . . .after creating the commodore 64. He created the C64? I'm starting to warm to this guy. I hear he invented the internet.

That's gonna be some record transfer fee, way higher than Wiltord's. So they have finally decided to splash the cash.

Isn't Palermo the club with that mental owner who hires and fires managers on a whimsy? Gattuso's gonna get some real stability if so.

Any news on the new kebab shop?

Reading back on some match reports, it seemed that both Simpson and Raylor did the trolling at throw-ins. I'm not senile after all. The ref shrugging his shoulders at Pulis' time-wasting rants was priceless.

Thought it was Raylor who asked for the towels for his long throw? It was Raylor. Ah darn, always thought it was Simpson for some reason. I must be getting JoKin'-senile. Was an excelling hilarious moment nonetheless.

Most hilarious moment has to be when he asked for a towel to dry the ball during a throw-in, Pulis complaining to the ref about time-wasting to the bemusement of the match officials. Simpson then proceeded to do a short throw-in.

So Kinnear got the job after being interviewed at a pub.

Ferdinand and Shearer worked well together... It could work, it all depends on AP to make the best out og all players... It could work, but faaaar from sure... 2 strikers who knew there are options other than hoarding the shots for themselves, with great service from midfield and a manager who knew how to make things work. Couldn't be more different from our current situation.

Think it's been discussed before. You will have 2 similar strikers who can't work in tandem with a partner, won't have a good supply line, and neither of which will be happy sitting on the bench. I sure hope we spend our budget more wisely.

Such a shame we can't fully celebrate his resignation without any reservations. Derek 'you don't know how nasty we can be' Llambias and Joe 'I'm more intelligent than them' Kinnear.
