Lee On Solent Saint

It benefits FIFA as they can try and get Ronaldo signed to a different club that's playing in this ridiculous competition.

A more fitting punishment would be that he only sign players from us.

Perhaps with Charlton in the Championship, Jones might want to take Bree from us.

Something similar worked for Forest. My reply wasn't to be taken seriously. Am fully aware that we will not be getting rid of a full squad.

They can all fuck off with the exception of Ramsdale, KWP and Fernandes.

117 forwards who can't score a goal between them

Not for me. Players derseve that honour not the manager.

Bloke is an absolute twat. First up the steps to take all the congratulations not the players. Completely managed to make the final all about himself.

I'd be having a conversation with Stephens along the lines of you are welcome to stay for the year you have left, although you aren't going to be first choice. If a club comes in for you with a reasonable proposal, not going to stand in your way.

They thought his Mum looked good

I would have thought we would have had the foresight to have included some sort of sell on fee clause. Or maybe not.

That's never happened before to us

333 pages on a bloke we sacked 6 months ago. Fuck me, Martin's ego will be loving this if he read it.

Totally agree with you. The quality we had on the bench bailed us out a fair few times especially in the second half of the season.

Doesn't particularly bother me. I think more teams than you think would realistically be in with a chance of winning the league. The money might disappear but there will still be a market for watching a league minus the elite clubs.

How on earth can City be in PL2? Or am I missing something?

Only way to make the PL more competitive is to let the so called big four/five fuck off and form a European League with the other greedy clubs around Europe.

Martian

Yep. Can't fault the club on this one for not acting quickly.

Am far more interested in Still than Rohl. I think Still's going to work out for us. Rohl never really seemed viable to me, just a feeling that he thought we were beneath him. He would not have been in the conversation for the fact that he was here before.

No re-sale value. Won't happen.

Not sure I agree with that. I know the season was over long before his spell, but we've still had to endure shit team selections, shit formations and shit performances.

I'd hope conversations have been taking place already. Be absolutely crazy if we are relying on him as starter.

Possibly. The club should be honest with him. As S Clarke points out no room for sentiment. We were far too loyal to the promotion squad. Tell him he won't be a starter and that if someone does come in for him that's acceptable to all parties We won't stand in his way

Martin might have more luck in a two horse race every season You think Rusk has done a decent job?
