There's certainly more to it than just heresay. Three counts apparently, and a separate charge for grooming. Innocent before proven guilty and all that but they don't whack you with charges like that unless they think they've got you.
I get the impression Ashley wants to appoint an English coach. Someone he feels he can relate to, take out on the piss and twist round his little finger. I'd be surprised if we got any of the French lads mentioned.
I think McLaren is a safer bet than some French guy who's never managed in England before and whom most of us have never even heard of.
McLaren has at least a breadth of experience at home and abroad and is by all accounts considered an excellent coach who in particular would be good for our younger players. It would be the safe option I agree, and perhaps a little bit "meh"; but it wouldn't be the end of the world by any stretch. I'd have preferred McLaren to Pardew any day.
Needs a real run in the team week in week out. He was woeful against the Mackems, but they all were! The lad can definitely play. There's some players in there, young Armstrong is one, who would flourish if they weren't surrounded by so much shite.
Personally hoping Chelsea win this, just to keep the gap between us.
They've us and West Ham at home, can see them getting six points from those two, with Man City and Liverpool was it away? Hopefully nothing there. Final game against Leicester.
A complex of four buildings, two being more student accommodation. A hotel, and 50 residential apartments.
24 story tower block, you'll able to look right over the top of the Gallowgate and down onto the centre circle at that height.
