That and we’ve still got a bloated squad and 9 people whose contract runs out next year. i suspect it’s probably jan and next summer when things truly start to happen.

Don’t think anyone can afford his wages. Surprised we haven’t discussed the moral decisions around him not moving on more in here to be honest.

Really nice thought but I think they’ll prefer to help fatty out personally.

We haven’t signed a player from the top six because we haven’t tried surely - not because they won’t sell. we’re years away from being a top six team yet and I’m personally fine with that.

Exactly the way I see it - you all of a sudden get new multi billionaire owners in overnight and kick off a new project when the books are padded out with mundane players, you can’t expect them to run out like rats from a sinking ship.

Ever been to boro? It’d be like the hunger games where he went to work.

We have wood and Gayle for that

Uefa ?

And reduce the wage bill at the same time - we seriously need to ship some out.

Can’t believe the premier league didn’t prevent them from paying the golfers!! wtf has that to do with ffp? You still choose not to listen

That was a different time and you can’t do that now, everybody is saying this year the ffp is serious and “finally has teeth” - direct quote from Chelsea chairman I think it was. People need to manage their expectations and not be ridiculous with what they think will come in. The clubs already said several times what they can spend and what they’re going to spend yet people on here choose not to hear them.

And that should have been the headline right there

I remember all of us being pissed when we sold Cole at the time not realising shearer was incoming

I honestly don’t remember that game

Interesting you list the Sunderland game first, Man Utd was an amazing day

Which games would you include? I’m going to start with a weird choice - arsenal 4 - 4.

I remember reading somewhere when he said Ashley refused him entrance to Newcastle but niaill quin sent a limousine round to pick him up, take him to Sunderland matches, feed him and fill him with him drink then take him home but he still couldn’t cheer them on to win. The bloke was a legend

We have had some great frenchies to be honest - ginola, Robert, Ben Rafa - and many more I imagine. For some reason I want to say - my god I miss Bobby robson

The first day is the hardest right?

It is congrats but maybe too much for little old me. Sometimes it’s better sticking to what you know but it’s only first day. Management is tough and political man

Cheers, genuinely wondering if I should stop posting and just read at this point. That buzz I have is strong

Smart arse!! - disclaimer (surprised I can spell that), started a new role at work- been a shit day and I’m 5 whiskeys deep so my posts are gonna be shit.

Can’t do emoticons so - thumb up

Genuine question- wtf is pearl clutching?

Always good to keep wood on the bench - it’s nice to know if you’re not scoring you’ve still got wood
