Varadi

Delph has had a decent season this year. Enough to have taken him well out of our price range anyway.

Sounds like he hasn't completely given up on the idea of winning 14-0. Don't blame him tbh.

One of the most depressing things is the thought that to Mike Ashley this has been a successful season. So every season can be like this one and he'll never get the sack. Just think about that for a moment

Ironically it could be that putting so much pressure on to sack Pardew has actually made his position more secure - we all know what a contrary twat Ashley likes to be.

If both teams start next season with the same managers they'll be finishing well ahead of us imo - look at the respective records since January Poyet P 19 Pts 24 Pardew P 18 Pts 16 The gap will probably be even bigger after today....

If it's true that Pardew is staying then we've seen the last of this lad in a black and white shirt.

This was always going to be the case imo - he's achieved the target he was set, and does exactly what he's told - why would Ashley sack him? Most likely outcome now is a disastrous start to next season and he'll be forced to ditch him some time before Christmas as relegation looms yet again.

And there it is Agent: "Interested in up and coming French manager looking for a new challenge, used to working on a budget and producing attractive football?" NUFC: "No, we have a manager on a long term contract thanks"

The "offered services" bit actually makes me less hopeful tbh, thought for a while we might actually have been proactive in sourcing a new man.

No poll option for Christophe Galtier? Shoddy.

L'equipe article: http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Galtier-depart-possible/463502 Dodgy translation: For the first time this season , coach Christophe Galtier Etienne has publicly questioned about his future on Thursday at a press conference . "My duty and my dedication mean that I have to prepare ( next season , Ed) . After , we are sure of anything in football. It is very difficult to talk about the future of a coach. " A convenient way to confirm a rumor that runs on his desires to go elsewhere next June. In office since December 2009, forézien technician did not appreciate the implication of the Chief of club services , Stephane Tessier, by Bernard Caiazzo , the chairman of surveilance ASSE . And he also questioned the recruitment policy of the club while ASSE should play in the Europa League : in his mind, the arrival of a striker , a creative midfielder or right side would be desirable. The best coach in Ligue 1 last season (elected trophy UNFR tied with Carlo Ancelotti ) therefore meet its leaders after the arrival of Ajaccio for an update on the ambitions of the Greens. And if the speech in front does not suit him , Christophe Galtier , under contract until June 2016 , does not prohibit to go elsewhere , since he has a release clause . Aston Villa and Newcastle are already informed on his professional record .

Is it bad that I'm already worried that Villa will offer him more money?

If there is even the tiniest bit of truth in this then it looks to me like Graham Carr has been involved, can't imagine anyone else at the club having even heard of this bloke. Ashley has seen he can pick a player, guess it would make some sense to ask his opinion on potential managers?

Is it too late to get a "Galtier In" banner made for Anfield?

Know nothing about him but I think he should definitely get the job based on that picture alone

He might not be all that good - the mackems only started winning games once they dropped him.

15th. Not with what just happened to Villa's GD

Aye. Will be finishing only 2 places below us at this rate

That's just fucking ridiculous

ffs

I would expect this TBF. Aye, not entirely sure what point he was going for there.

I really don't think he is mind, would be a marginal improvement at best. We need rid of Pardew for sure, but Steve Bruce really isn't the answer imo.

Towing the party line ffs. And he gets paid for this?

It's beyond retarded. Teams with a bottomless pot of money are effectively ruining the game and the punishment is "send a little of that money our way and we'll say no more about it"

A fine ffs - they're absolutely taking the piss Wonder who gets that money btw??
