Wouldn't be bad from a NUFC pov if we continue to shop in the French market. Keeps prices down and clubs are more liable to sell their players if they didn't receive a huge profit from PSG or Monaco.

€70m spent already. Next up Falcao and Tevez.

Also Fernando Amorebieta and Maarten Stekelenburg................they are working quick Surely not? That would be a brilliant signing for them. Iirc they wanted him in January but the move fell through and he was stranded at the airport or something. Edit: He was on the plane en route to Fulham when the talks collapsed. Signing him will surely mean the end of Schwarzer.

Good managers tend to learn from the jobs they had. If past experiences at his previous clubs had shown him to be lacking in certain areas, he should take his lessons with him in the next club, not repeat them. Tbf to him he did switch his formation from a 442 to a 433. It's just that he's clueless on how to implement the system correctly.

In time for the RWC too so we save on blocking the SD sign with a huge cover.

Lovely news. Are they paying extra to remove the SD gallowgate sign or it was part of their initial deal? If the latter, please remove the SD signs next to 'Newcastle United' too. With gratitude.

Why would he keep picking the same players if they were going against what he was telling them? Why has he not had a go at the players at any time for not following his orders? Why have players had a go at him for the way that we play instead of accepting responsibility for ignoring his positive instructions? He’s the manager and it’s up to him to get his game plan across to the players he picks, are you saying they don’t listen to him? This. Well put.

Very nice kits, save for the white-border badges again.

Late to the party, mate. Previous page.

Once you see that he's wearing a baby's bib, you cannot unsee it. Darn, can't get my mind off it now.

Not much wrong in that but he should not wash dirty laundry in public. All it does is increase media attention on his players with the benefit of him looking the hard man (my way or the highway). Speak to them, fine them, ship them out if need be. When you are effectively turning the press against well-paid and pampered players it will eventually be one player after another leading to a revolt.

Best pie chart here tbf.

2 years left innit? Might be a good time to renegotiate that in case we put ourselves to ransom with one year running.

Having pies, marra. Looks pretty on the outside but lacks substance inside.

Gone for a proper meltdown, this PDC-Bardsley business.

Had a lot of money the whole time. Chelsea and Man City have even more but he managed to win the league or put up a strong challenge. His longevity and the ability to reinvent his teams and adapt to the times in terms of tactics and managing his players does it for me.

SAF easily.

Aye, around £7m loss then.

Man City involved in CL group stage: P15 W9 D6 L0 33pts AverPts 2.20 Man City after knocked out of CL: P23 W14 D3 L6 45pts AverPts 1.96 Arsenal also met one top 4 side (Man U at home) during that post-CL run.

Only joined well past mid-season, still pretty pleased with my points average of 6.9. I'll be right here from the start come August. It's been fun.

Them fallouts didn't take long. Just needed one disgruntled player to start a chain reaction.

Creativity for that firepower is just as worrying IMO, we don't create ANYTHING. Some of that is tactics and some of it is just simply lacking in quality in certain areas. And it is set to continue if Pardew doesn't drill any attacking movement and understanding between our players, relying instead on his 'moments of magic'. We are so clueless in the final third it's madness.
