Seems pointless, especially if they are just replacing from within. Almost understandable if they'd parachuted in Neil Warnock or Zola or some "big name" crash bang appointment as a last throw of the dice. Don't get me wrong, that would have been nuts too. But if you are going to be mental you might as well go all out mental.

You've got to say that is masterful.

There is no forum thread that cannot be improved by the inclusion of an image of Bill Murray.

I hope they stay up too. It's down the road from me so I am delighted, just need Steve McClaren to do the business and I'm laughing. Leicester is basically as nondescript a city as Southampton. Some okay bits, plenty of diversity but generally just AN Other English mid sized city.

A forum that forgets the same hackneyed old quotes about history is doomed to repeat said quote over and over again.

Congratulations on being the 450th person to post that quote on this forum. Let's all look forward to someone else posting this quote next week.

You're talking about the one person who called him the boot boy.

This time last year Alpine was going weak at the knees at the spirit, fight and determination of Wigan Athletic while confidently predicting they would overtake relegation doomed gutless Saints. The year before that Saints were bottling promotion and WHU were going up automatically in our place. The season before, exactly the same, but Huddersfield. So let's put this latest bed-pi s s in context. Every new season is a cross roads. Like, literally anything could happen. What will probably happen is another fairly solid mid table season, performing either slightly better or slightly worse than this one. What I can guarantee is that Alps will bellyache like an old slag throughout pretty much all of it.

Claus as an inside source is probably up there with a former steward from The Dell who used to know Dennis Rofe, and Dan Harding's father in law. Not a clue.

You forgot nuance. Franko is brilliant at that, remember.

If he's got any sense he'll stay here until he gets a better offer. Likely he'll sign a one-year extension come the summer, but still think he would probably be gone by the following summer. He's not going to stay forever but I don't think he is just going to walk out either.

Le Tiss was taking the photo, presumably. After punching Beattie in the face to get the camera.

Still, 4th doesn't actually mean Champions league qualification, as Everton (and poor old Spurs, LOLZ) found out. Cup is a cup is a cup. A day long.

This. Never had a problem with Man United. I save my irrational big club hatred for Liverpool.

That he did. Clegg just resorted to stupid gags and pointless comparisons. He didn't make a mature case for remaining in Europe. Totally blew it.

Looks like a dynamic revolutionary kit suited to a unique forward thinking global mega club superbrand. Not like the kind of tin pot parochial stuck in the past junk a club like Athletico Madrid would wear.

Isn't describing Adam Lallana and others as "league one players" really rather offensive? Why not go full - on beetroot factory while you're at it?

Jesus Christ. Our current kit symbolises two things. One, Cortese's failure to get Adidas to supply us anything other than the most generic, Sunday league sports shop design in their portfolio. And two, it symbolises business genius Cortese's failure to secure one of the top flight's most pitiful shirt deal with some tin pot computer company in Romsey.

Other less hardy souls would have been seduced by the allure of modern forward thinking plain red wearing football giants like Swindon Town or Bristol City.

Yes but something something League One something greatest phoenix rise in something something short memories something perspective something.

Glad you mentioned a previous Chairman's ability to deliver a series of solid mid Prem finishes culminating in eighth, a cup final and fourth in mid season too. Our last chairman fled for the hills during mid season (when we were ninth not fourth), stropping off after completing all of one whole season in the top flight. Fingers crossed the new guy can hack it for a little longer.

Sorry, that's not the "perspective" view. Apparently we achieved some kind of footballing miracle.

So you think Cortese should have Carte Blanche to do what the hell he liked? Okay then. Great "perspective" there. Thank god you're here, oh wise one.

Too right. Some people can't even remember we finished eighth in the Premier League not that long ago and act like this season is the greatest in our history.

You're rolling your eyes at an article on Newsbiscuit. Face palm me up.
