That's exactly what I think *may* be happening. Wanting to be his own DOF would have come out at the start, right?

Might be different in England. In the American sports when a rich guy wants something it's done in a few hours, 1 contract or 8 contracts.

Thing is, this shit should have been done last night. Something ain't right.

Man, I was reading comments on Ryan on either a blog or the Chronicle. Holy shit you guys hold nothing back. Guy said, and I quote, "As for Fraser, he walks around with a face that looks like a well spanked arse" Jesus. Anyway, should be fun with all the shots of Howe frowning in the stands and the sleeves rolling up dare I say?

Should be a lift I would guess.

I'd sign up for that. "In the street there is violence, and lots of work to be done." Listened to that record since mid 80's. oh and brother it's Eddy....

Thing is as an American I cannot nail down the role of Technical Director in my mind. Seems to vary from club to club.

Not that bad. Hopefully in 4 years it's half the squad.

Not sure how many are on international duty on the squad. Most going to be there to train?

Tomorrow should be fun until as you guys have pointed out, they take it up the rear. Who knows, maybe lifts the club up to battle a draw. 7 or 8 additional points to end November would do.

Nice! Get on the phone with Jones and give some direction!

I would expect they already had. Is Sheffield United eyeing the money the owners are worth and saying "Well, Eleventy million will do fine" - I mean I have no idea. Throwing random shit out.

Would he really agree to blow the whole thing up over Tindall this time?

and that it broke down late in the talks, yea.

They still trying to get Jason Tindall out of his Sheffield United contract?

Yea, I thought about it after I typed that. They'd let the team know first of course but why sit on it I guess once they did. Hopefully soon, looking forward to see how he does.

Makes more sense to announce tonight rather than shift focus from the match tomorrow and have the players unsure when they hit the sack tonight. Just give them clarity tonight and let the match be the focus tomorrow.

Saw this on Tifo.........

He handed it to me and said "put this under your shirt" and opened the damn door. I was frozen to the spot and had no option but to improvise. It did work by the way. edit: It was his dads rum. I get now what you are asking. It was his parents house and we were 17.

Holy shit that looks like a mates house back in 1978. God rest his soul. It was bad. He had me smuggle out a bottle of Rum under my shirt in front of the family. That was fun.

Those are huge positives (especially the Zorro thing) and he seems like a really passionate manager with a plan to boot. Alas......

So far yep.

That's the thing. My guess is the dude has to sleep on it and these guys don't know. Should be clear tomorrow.

My understanding is he has a 6M release clause.

Does staff count against FFP calculations?
