CB Fry

Reading it through it looks like he's a patsy stitched up by the Telegraph - the paper seem to have used mates of high profile managers to get to them rather than just go direct. It makes sense as an effective sting technique but there's more than a whiff of entrapment going on. Still, he's been busted and he'll be gone by teatime.

Steve Bruce ain't going to be the England manager any time soon, is he?

Come on in Thierry. Your old boss needs you.

Yeah - Looked like mission accomplished to me.

They've landed the big fish they wanted. Barnsley assistant manager suspended for taking a bung.

Shame they haven't got enough to start naming names. Anyway, I thought I'd ask the forum to name their favourite managers. Here's my favourite managers that I have decided to list here. I wonder if anyone else would also like to list their favourite managers? Pardew McClaren Pearson Pulis Phil Brown Hughes Mccarthy Warnock Garry Monk Tim Sherwood Brendan Rodgers Gus Poyet

Lallana signed a five year contract in 2013 so I'm saying we won't sell him until 2017 but only if someone is desperate.

Who's up for a bit of a who's next sweepstake. More revelations by about 10:30 tonight. I'm going Pardew. And Nigel Pearson, who's clocked that he's been stung and confessed during today rather than waiting for the inevitable.

Jesus Christ.

Minutes silence for little Sammy Lee.

Sky/BBC news not gone with it yet.

100% perfect record. Going out at the top.

Looks like he's gone. Didn't even set foot on the Wembley pitch as England boss. What a plank. Gareth Southgate in. Gawd help us.

You're thinking of Graham Fellowes, playing John Shuttleworth. Different person.

This and this. What we've done is put us in a great position to get "Pogba" money, but if someone comes forward with £60m then a) we'd take it and b) any club offering that for a CB is a club VVD would want to join. The five years thing is a red herring. The one thing it absolutely doesn't mean is he's staying for five years.

We won't sell anyone in January- we haven't done up to now and we won't start in 2017. VVD off for mega money in the summer? Probably, more than likely. I'm ready for it.

I, for one, heartily welcome this completely brand new poster Larry15. If you need any help with how this forum works Larry, what with you being new to it and everything, then do let me know. Always great to have new posters like Larry new on the forum especially when they are completely new. Welcome new person.

Made me laugh anyway.

It won't be long before the big clubs are once again paying newspapers to run negative stories about us.

It's times like this I really regret us not appointing Walter Zenga.A huge missed opportunity.

We're much weaker than we were last season or something so he should stroll into the side.

2/10.

Jamie Redknapp said "this Southampton side are exceptional".

That JWP open-play goal is easily the most momentous thing to ever happen in that stadium.

Like to have seen Cuco play, but really can't fault the team sheet. Let's hope we win what is clearly a winnable game.
