Dalglish dropped and fell out with Ginola and obviously couldn't stand flair players and Gullit sold Batty. But Ferdinand yes. Though there is no defence for his attempts at replacing Ferdinand, for more money, with Andersson and Guivarch. Don't disagree with the estimation of the good signings but feel it has to be said again that Solano never played for him, Hamman played three times and Speed never played well under him. The latter weren't finds or anything. He'd a lot more money than people think. Easily in the top few in the league and we dropped from title challenges to having a relegation 6pointer against Barnsley at Easter. Undefendable for me.

They've only ever known misery by sane people's standards. Misery interspersed with once in a blue moon finishing above the Mags and now finally getting to win some derbies after being dominated most if not all of their lives which is the height of glory and of their ambitions. Which in itself is an indictment of leading miserable existences. Luckily for them they're too ignorant to realise that.

Already got vibes as if its tomorrow. Howay!!

Kinnear did a good job at Wimbledon. The likes of which Carver could never have got close to achieving. No 'what a character' element to him either. That reminds me, didn't Gullit go out with Cruyff's niece? Was talk of Chelsea signing the offspring though it all sounds very Daily Star. Doesn't work like that, every other Gullit and Cruyff in history has been shit at football and I'm not discounting Jordi.

Go great with a pair of white strides. Reckon you could get into some clubs like that. Horrible as a football shirt though, last seasons black one really grew on me

You're absolutely right. 'Managing to scam 872 games more' would be basically exactly what's happened.

Even as I sat there watching us fade away, passing the ball sideways for 89minutes before trying for the last minute and knowing we had to get rid of him asap and awaiting his cryptic haiku post match interview - I still didn't dislike him. Still dont. Wonder if his riddling enigmatic interviews are the reason why, doesn't give away much of a true personality. Have also since seen some of his football and he was an absolutely beautiful player. Just did a such an horrific job here that sabotage would be a compliment.

Bruce's only achievement as a manager is managing 872 games more.

Nobody done a Clueless (Alicia Silverstone) reference yet? Okay, hope he's not Clueless.

Academica's the club for him then. Since it sounds like the only place that could tot up the money's he's accumlated.

Love that. It makes me shy with crushy feelings and feels somehow immoral, like the same matter in the same time and space intersecting, like future Daveed meeting past Daveed or something.

Thats it for Bruce now though. The level of club that would consider him cannot afford him. Plus its limited to his not having to travel very far or move. So London's out nevermind Europe.

Think the only way Huckerby ended up being good enough to play in our first team was ironically because Dalglish took the club backwards. He was never going to dislodge Tino, Shearer or Ferdinand but never be dislodged himself by Tomasson, Andersson, Guivarch

They actively want that to be the case. That's how saintly they are. Wouldnt help anything but as long as it stops us being rich they're all for it. Almost as if us being rich is what they're really concerned about.

West Brom fans from the clubs lowest ebb since the 90s looking back and thinking 'being 5th under Ismael wasn't too bad after all'.
