That's cute.

He's Iain Dowie in waiting.

He's completely f***ed now in terms of his career arc. Palace will sack him in due course. Where do you go when you're sacked from Palace? Not so sure as he was forced out of West Ham, Charlton and Southampton and still ended up with a job in the Premiership As PL money increases less Chairman will want to take chances. He's hardly seen as a great league status consolidator in the Allardyce, Pulis mould. I can't see it. It'll either be a team doomed to relegation or nothing. Ashley's employment of him was an anomaly.

I'd like to Souness do an advert for Nationwide Sun Awnings.

Sorry is incoming outgoing players not a stat?

They'll probably try and consolidate their league status and then push on from there.

Llambias will just be playing to the press. It may be that they give it a couple of games before naming all five or whatever, but that was obviously the plan and will doubtless remain the plan.

Well now I feel bad for being a dick.

Thank God flip is here to level it out.

Imagine the enthusiasm you'd have for your job in his situation.

In summary a man tried to kill himself. He needs looking after because on some level I think you ought to accept human life is worth saving. Also his illness seems to manifest itself in a way which puts others at harm and that's something that needs considering too. It's a complicated subject that stirs up anger in a lot of people, like family and friends, they should stay off twitter to air their grievances. Hysteria on both sides of any debate (see Ched Evans) often prevents a sensible dialogue from developing.

I should imagine the consequences will be more than a bit different in this scenario.

Those options.

Do you want Lambeezy back?

Zero hours contract.

I imagine the latter, see if we can get a bit more money for them. I would love to think it's to suit both clubs i.e help Rangers get promoted while our players have that experience under their belts ready to come into first team squad next year but it's unlikely to be the case. It's looking tricky. If they win there 2 games in hand they are 10 points off promotion. Not only that but you have a manager being forced to work his notice, who can only choose half a team. It's absolutely batshit and hardly conducive to success. They are currently in the promotion play-off position. They'll be playing one of the utterly abhorrent teams at the bottom of the SPL. They'll probably get promotion. Didn't know that's how it worked.

The fact they have gone to Rangers at this moment in time suggests that their development is not a priority.

I'm sure he does. In all honesty it does sound like Carlisle should probably be sectioned.

Can you imagine being that rich and not a full on rapist?

yeah essentially half the outfield positions are taken.

Shame we've been so crap at getting loanees playing time at clubs Mike Ashley doesn't have an interest in.

He completely made a rod for his back by saying something in the heat of the moment. Would have been far worse for him to remain silent. The innuendo of his original posts meant he had some explaining to do.
