I think both would come. Where else are they going to go? At best Howe will keep the Cherries up then finish mid table the season after. A decent performance if he does it but the kind of thing Steve Coppell has done, or Pulis, or Paul Lambert. What's his next job if Koeman leaves us in 2016 and Eddie Howe has taken the Cherries to 14th in his second season? Ditto Monk, if he achieves two more mid tables, great. So the level of Steve McClaren. Alan Pardew. Mark Hughes. Not wonder managers, but good. Basically those two will be able to take a step up to West Ham/Newcastle/Villa/Everton/etc. We're in that bracket now as bigger clubs than both Swansea and Bournemouth.

What a strange statement from someone who likes to moan and mock the "EUSSR" and is a proud UKIP voter.

Behave yourself. In the seventies tournament qualifying was a handful of ties. You can't avoid the simple fact that there are tons of minnow teams that simply did not exist in Charlton's era. Norway in 1982 achieved two wins and two draws in a group with England, Switzerland, Hungary and Romania. Hardly San Marino level, is it.

Clearly they couldn't have done any such thing. Maybe they could have organised a republican referendum but politicians don't tend to stage referendums when they know they would get annihilated.

Obviously it wont be Klopp, unless he has a monumental failure in his next job.

Monk or Howe. We'd be a perfect step up for both of them, and pretty sure they'd both come.

Bit harsh. Someone still has to get that team picked, motivated and performing and they are top of a group they were in pot 4 for. Plus a 9th place finish in the Premier League and was doing very nicely in Spain before something went wrong with his chairman. Not saying I'd want him bit he's decent I think.

Okay, maybe Woolston?

Forum gold.

I think we know for certain your mental condition.

MLG has been playing head-of-state simulator computer game and apparently it's a piece of pi ss.

I'll let other people debate with you because I am not bothering. Teach us all about God again, why don't you.

Quite right. On whatever measure you want to use, she has been fantastic. It's not even a role she was actually born into, and definitely not one she ever asked for. But fate conspired and since her coronation she has served her country and commonwealth with huge distinction. I'm no loony royalist but would defend the Queen and her role and how she has served against anyone, except MLG.

No benefit to club whatsoever. But no harm I can see either. Good luck to him.

Every day I thank God for the Queen.

Or, the only perfect record in European Qualification remains intact. Well done Roy and the team.

I'm guessing Sholing. Am I right?

I've started composting my old tea bags and veg peelings recently. I've done my bit so all refugees can suck my balls.

I seriously doubt if Saint George is American or lives in America. Just a character act with off the peg troll opinions on climate change, gun control, general right wing cliché stuff done badly. Tie that up with his spectacularly transparent trolling on the main board and bingo. It's a hobby.

Eh? So this was the reason Koeman gave: “It’s a difficult situation because Victor mentioned himself that he is not with his mind to the team. He did the training last Friday and, of course, it was so important to play against Norwich with players who are really committed to the team and really focused. The situation with Victor is that he has lost some focus to the team, to the club, and that was the reason why I decided to keep him out of the squad.” But you're saying this was in fact a PR smokescreen to cover up...er...what? A minor knock? A groin strain? Seems pretty unlikely to me. But hey, you're so "clued up" on PR and stuff. I kinda think PR works the other way round. Look into it.

Dear me. Still getting it arse about face. Oh well. I love the way the club is being run. You don't. Fair enough.

He missed that game for one reason. That reason was explained with direct, specific quotes from the manager of the football club. You can look them up if you like.

Jesus Christ. He used showcase to distinguish the club from the accusations of 'selling' club which is what you are blubbering about. If we uncover someone who turns out to be brilliant they will end up at a Champions League club for a big fee. Of course they will. It's an output of our scouting, recruitment and development. The other output is us finishing top eight or thereabouts. Really, really not difficult.

I think you can look further up the thread for my analysis of how the club has been run, is run now and will be run going forward. You don't like it, that's your problem. I fu cking love it.

That's funny because as far as I can see all you see when you look at those fees is how it negatively impacts our net spend and makes us look all unambitious and weak compared to the driven determined footballing powerhouses like Sunderland. I mean look at their net spend. Life is, like, so unfair ain't it Strawlock? Our business model is not to to sell players high, it's just an output of the fact we have had brilliant players that the very biggest clubs want. Understand yet? Nah, didn't think so. Listen, I know you're upset that our club isn't going to be run like the little computer games you play, or like a casino run by a sink estate lottery winner on smack. If I were you I'd leave things in the hands of the adults running the club. Unlike you, they have a fu cking clue.
