Soz if already posted - I haven't seen it, though.

 

He regaled us with a brilliant anecdote of the time when he was manger of Nepal in 1987 (yes that bit is actually true) and had to flee the country because the Crown Prince (who apparently used to helicopter him over Everest) had shot his parents the King and Queen. Turned out that happened 14 years later, by which time he was boss of Luton.

 

 

Fuck me :lol:

I was thinking about this this morning whilst reading the paper. When we appointed McLeish, a common line of thought was that, had the club been taken over by a malevolent force for evil, intent on doing as much damage to the club and to relations with supporters as possible, it couldn't actually have done a better job of doing that than what the board actually did.

 

That's precisely how this appointment looks. I doubt Ashley wants to screw up his own investment, but if he wanted to screw up the club as much as possible, what would he realistically have done that could have been more damaging than this?

“He (Llambias) is going to go on the finance side and anything to do with football is coming my side.

 

“I am going to be delighted to be working with Alan.

 

“I saw Alan as a player – he was a heck of a player – and we bumped into each other a couple of times when he was West Ham manager.

 

“We always bump into each other at the Manager of the Year awards.

 

“Last year I was at the awards when Alan won it.

 

“I said ‘congratulations, but you have to get two more to catch me!

 

He won it once, didn't he? This man needs to be medicated.

Just to play devil's advocate, I wonder if it might be a good thing to have another 'football person' at the club that Ashley trusts? Who's to say that we wouldn't have strengthened more last summer if he'd been here? Desperately looking for positives.

Its his constant lies that gets me.  If he told me it was raining outside i would open the curtain to check.

I have a feeling that if someone punched him when he's walking down the street he will spin it to him being touched by an angel.

 

This is the sort of guy who if he came home to find his wife shagging the bloke next door he would think that he himself is rather good at satisfying her.

This is what I wake up to?  Joe f******* Kinnear is our DOF?  Shouldn't he be out digging boreholes somewhere in the football wilderness?  How soon is it before he alienates every player with even a modicum of talent?  How soon til we here Joe f****** Kinnear proclaim, "If I'm going to finish 16th I'd rather do it with English lads rather than French lads!"?

 

What a complete and total nightmare.

All this about if your not good enough you will be shipped out stuff. Apart from the first 11 that is basically the entire squad, and we already have a tiny squad so not sure what the plan is there.

Seeing him talking on behalf of the club again :anguish:

 

Embarrassingly enough, that's what we should be hearing instead of Pardew falling over himself to tell everyone that we are vulnerable 24/7.

well so many aspects of this - i don´t know where to begin.

 

How is he qualified for this job? We can all see what is wrong. Carr is doing a great job finding players...we don´t need him to mess with this. He is outdated in every way.

 

I already think pardew and his football will make it difficult for us to sign some promising players with more offers on there hands. This appointment won´t make it easier.

 

I honestly think (if he isn´t careful) he could have a very negative effect on who is coming and who wants to leave.

 

Pardew and Kinnear how is that better than a promising modern manager? Lots of bright managers who come here even under strange conditions.

There's a part of me that does think Kinnear is better than Pardew, but that's more to do with how little I think of Pardew. Hope this whole thing at least gives Pardew a kick up the backside.
