Pierre Webó, possibly one of the worst finishers I have seen starting for a La Liga team, has gone on strike because he wants an improved contract.

 

Bit of a wanky thing to do to a club in Mallorca's position.

 

Proper cuntish

 

Get Carr over there, the search for the new #9 is over.

People may think Mike Ashley is tight but he's got nothing on QPR owners Bernie Ecclestone (billionaire), Flavio Briatore (multi-millionaire) and Lakshmi Mittal (the world's 8th richest man).

Warnock admits transfer fund fears

 

Queens Park Rangers boss Neil Warnock has revealed he is unlikely to be allowed more than £1.25 million in transfer funds this summer as he prepares for life in the Premier League.

 

The R's secured promotion after winning the Championship last season but, despite the club's rich owners, there have been concerns over new signings.

 

Those concerns were eased this week when England striker Jay Bothroyd and former West Ham midfielder Kieron Dyer joined on free transfers, but Warnock believes DJ Campbell is likely to be the only player he buys.

 

"They've made it clear to me we've got to try and get value for money, don't spend transfer fees," he told talkSPORT. "They've agreed to pay £1.25 million for Campbell but I can't see any other money changing hands, other than DJ Campbell, if I'm honest.

 

"I thought I'd have a few million, if I'm honest. I was disappointed but it's not the end of the world. It would have been nice to have money to spend but it's just another one of those things in my managerial career where I have to show what I can do."

 

He added: "I look at the players I've brought in, Bothroyd and Dyer, and if I can get three or four more players of that quality, I'll be more than happy. I'm not despondent. I'd love money, every manager wants money. But it's not all doom and gloom."

 

Warnock could also lose inspirational midfielder Adel Taarabt after he expressed an interest in joining Paris St Germain.

 

"We don't know whether he's going to go or stay," he added on Sky Sports News. "It's up in the air at the moment.

 

"We're quite optimistic either way. If we lost him it would be easier for me in some respects, the money would come in handy, but I don't think we'll spend any of it.

 

"With his family all in France, and his girlfriend there as well, there's so many things to tempt you. He's going to be at a top club, (on) massive money.

 

"[Co-owner Flavio Briatore] is going to make the final decision on what money he accepts. PSG are close to making an offer. Whether it's enough for Flavio I don't know, but he'll be telling me as and when he either goes or if he's definitely staying."

Riverpool, Riverpool, Riverpoool, Riverpool hahahaha

 

prove there why we can't compete with liverpool at the moment, must earn s*** loads from shirt sales and that

 

Liverpool are oddly popular in SE Asia from what I gather. They've got fuck all support up here in the proper civilized world.

 

At least our glory hunters go for a team that will actually win things.

They've got absolutely nothing on Man United in Malaysia like from my experience and since you can pick up the decent fakes too all over the place I wouldn't think they'd make as much as you think from shirt sales.

Seems to me that not many people are aware of the Newcastle United Foundation on this forum, so thought I'd create a post about it. The majority of the work that the Newcastle United Foundation do is aimed at children in the local community, bringing awareness of a healthy lifestyle, introducing sports and fitness, and offering opportunities for those that may not have had the chance.

 

Newcastle United Foundation (NUF) work with the local schools with the Match Fit, United In Education, and Enterprise Academy programs. All programs aim to increase awareness of health, fitness, and to help make learning fun.

 

NUF are also the people who run the end of season auction of player kits (signed shirts, boots, gloves, etc), grass from St. James' Park, and other items from within Newcastle United. I know a few people on here were a bit disappointed to not have found out about the last end of season auction until it had finished.

 

Its well worth keeping an eye on their Facebook and Twitter pages, as they're constantly updated with the latest news and events, and perhaps more interestingly for you guys - good offers.

I'll create a thread about the NUF if the feeling is it should have one.

Blackburn are going to do a mid-season tour of India because of their mad owners.

They are brilliant. :lol:

 

Blackburn Rovers' trip to India has been postponed following the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

 

The board and the owners have agreed to re-schedule until such time as further risk assessments and appraisals have been undertaken.

 

The trip, involving the senior squad, management and officials, is now expected to take place in the autumn (more details to follow).

 

A joint statement from the club and the owners reads: "Safety is always our top priority and after detailed discussions with our security and legal advisors we have been left with no option other than to postpone. While everyone is obviously disappointed, we all accept the circumstances and the reasoning. We are now looking forward to the trip to India in a few weeks time."
