Gentlemen prefer blondes...

Les Reed in......Masterchef with John Torode.

I'm with you on much of this Vectis, in simple terms I think Cortese was an egomaniac and Reed is a chancer. The stuff about the latter being an innovator is nonsense, most of it is framed in terms of public relations by the 'futuristic' Staplewood backdrop which was installed over budget by the former ;-)

If Reed was involved he'd probably sell her to the Saudi Royal Family to be honest.

Good Lord, Tattoo mark two - 'Theee plane Mr Reed theee plane...'

Agree with that, but doubt that Reed will be here to oversee it once the Chinese have their feet under the table - despite the current PR lacuna.

David Frost.

Superb - the Beatles felt the same...

On the plus side sales of tea lights and scarves are about to rocket and Mick Quinn has announced he is going on hunger strike until the deal is done!

And Vinny O'Connor to be bored sh*tless whilst faking activity to endear himself to the inhabitants of self-pity city...

Could finally give us a means of production.

More likely Gnarls Barkley!

Churchill is a bit of a stretch as an analogy, we are more of a Nick Clegg...

Thought the same, and with Gazzaniga off to Spurs maybe the Alaves keeper might be being lined up.

I meant as a teammate, in cooperation with, not next to.

Would like to see McCarthy get games at some point as he certainly has the pedigree to be competition for Forster, but it would be a case of whether the manager has the bottle to make that decision - the bumper contract suggests Reed and Co. see him very much as our number one. I think FF is the epitome of a confidence player, so if we can get Hoedt and Van Dijk in front of him and perhaps a new attacking option to provide some consistency and cohesion in the final third we can forget the frailties for a while.

Good call! Shame about Philip Seymour Hoffman - a shoe in for Ronald Koeman.

Melissa McCarthy as Kat, Jackie Chan as Gao and Gregg Wallace as Les Reed.

In a nutshell!

F*ck em'

As much as it pains me fair play to Everton on this one, a great signing and alongside Schneiderlin likely to be formidable!

Definitely a wait and see moment. Although we are obviously in a much stronger position in 2017 it feels strangely like the reverse takeover with Lowe in terms of unknown quantity.

He would gain a lot of credit if he said they can have him for all of the Coutinho money plus Sakho. Just for the giggles...

That's the crux!

Wrights punditry is based on his fixed mindset (sic) and continuing delusion that it's still the early 90s and nothing has changed since in terms of hierarchy and structure [much has changed since]. He's not alone in this, he's just the thickest of the thick.
