Yes he is good enough. Our need for a backup is more pressing.

Foul or no foul, he will likely be out for a while. A red card and free kick wouldn't have changed that. Shame as Gaston has given us something different from the bench.

Out of interest, what was wrong with Boruc?

Done. Good luck mate.

Reckon that is ankle ligaments. 8-10 weeks minimum based having had a similar tackle inflicted on me.

2-0, and we've ****ed it up.

The irony being that Liebherr allowed Cortese to leave with more dignity than he himself allowed Nigel. A year ago today many on here were berating Nigel's sacking and saying how we'd lost a good manager and great bloke, a good year of results later and many of the very same stack up to take the ****. in a years time the current Cortese devotees will be fawning over whoever has done a decent job and deriding NC.

@Smudge1962: West Ham erupt with fury after Lacina Traore undergoes medical and agrees to join the Hammers only to walk out and sign for Everton instead

I know MLT (the poster) and he does have decent connections at the club. He is a Saints fan and passes on what he hears. Ok some of it doesn't come off but I do recall him getting pelters when he made the outlandish claim that an 18 year old left-back would be starting ahead of Danny Fox after the West Brom game. He posts what he hears, if you want facts go to the OS. We have a few ITK's on here, and they will must get dissuaded by people continually taking the ****. In the spirit of a potential takeover I shall be spending the evening with a nice Chablis reviewing pictures of ear lobes.

Glad she has come out and said this. The Indy article on Fitzhugh Fellas thread is obviously the planted response from the club / Liebherr PR machine and is starting to address the 'other side' of the story. Ultimately football is a results business. Cortese was hated when we didn't walk League 1 and sacked Pardew. It was only when we started marching up the league(s) that everyone got clappy about him. We tolerated his dictatorship, shoddy treatment of ex-players & suppliers and overall embarrassing issues he brought on the club because we were winning. Do you really think Blackburn fans would give a flying **** about being owned by the Venky's if they were 9th in the Prem. If we win our next couple of games 'One Katherine Liebherr' will ring out around SMS and we'll all be slagging him off.

Hoping everyone is well stocked with Chablis.

+1.

Let's wait until we have a decent source.

I think you will find that is 'Sarcasm'.....

Obviously the billionaire family got where they were by building up businesses and then disposing of their most valuable assets at prices below their worth to the organisation. To all those rounding on KL, please just realise you've heard one side of a very slick PR love in for Cortese for the last few months. I liked what he did for us and wish him well, but this doesn't have to be a game of good and bad sides.

Yep, I reckon the sale of an 18 year old left back will herald the demise of our 129 year old football club.

Nope, just wild assumptions and spin.

He is just another head of department remember.

Phil Thompson on Sky Sports thought it was going to be a straight red.

18 points.

Great news.

Benefit of the doubt. Move on.

Hopefully, Yes.

Hopefully will pull through and make a full recovery. Must have been horrible for any family or friends present as well. To the poster who chose to inject a bit of dark humour into the thread (posts deleted), please be more appropriate next time.
