We are Saints - we have a long glorious history of punching above our weight and bringing in and developing players far beyond our apparent reach. We need to adopt a similar approach to mangers. We need a glamorous, youngish guy with charisma, not the deadbeat, dead hands of the likes of Mackay, Lennon, Hughton, Poyet.

Spurs are the Graveyard of Managers.

Which he clearly ain't, so now it will be dominoes..

It wouldn't be so bad, but I have no confidence in the the Hockey bloke and the daughter who suddenly inherited her dad's very expensive and difficult to understand hobby to appoint an appropriate replacement.

Oddchecker have Poyet, Petrescu and Lennon and Mackay in that order as top 4 favs...can't say I am excited by any.

Poch leaving makes Shaw and Lallana's departures pretty much a given. Possibly others too. MP was always a rapaciously ambitious careerist, and he realises that the new Board do not meet his ambition. Simple business really.

Kai Tak was wonderful, such a romantically scary way to be introduced to HK. I like City Airport for stuff out of London.

I'd have him back if he had investment to bring to the party too. He is a bar steward, but he would be our bar steward.

What is immediately apparent is how, compared to blue riband events such as the FA Cup etc, this game the tickets are allocated to the clubs and their real fans rather than corporates and freeloaders and tourists. Proper atmosphere around the entire stadium.

Not learned anything.

Nothing happens until after the World Cup. I suggest closing the forum til then to spare us all the agonising.

I reckon Lallana's staying. Nothing the man has said or done recently suggests anything other.

Wenger to 4th Official: "Can't you do something - my cultured artistes of the beautiful game are being bullied and kicked off the field by those clod-hopping yobs from the North?"

Yes, leads can come too early for underdogs. What you need is to take the lead at 82 mins.

****

Don't like the collar.

yep - 17 mil for AL is a **** take. Add 10 mil and you're talking.

Read: Good, A.

I think I am going to take my detestation of Spurs to another level...

If Spurs take MP, lets hope it turns out the Hoddle Saga part II...

Not to worry - there's plenty more where Shaw came from, in the Academy... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've analysed MP's Neuro-Linguistic Programming profile over the past 10 weeks and, indeed, he seems undecided.

No - Bradford is not full of mawkish Scousers hoping for a payout.

If he goes and the big name players leave, we will dust ourselves down, promote some academy babes and buy a few decent signings and get a bright young ambitious manager in. All will be well.

A good chap and scored some crucial goals in our rise from the depths. Very unfairly scapegoated by a vocal minority on here and in the ground. Difficult at times not to conclude that there wasn't a distinctly unpleasant racial undertone to some of it too. A lesser man would have walked away from the club but he stuck with us and has genuine affection both for, and from, his team mates and the decent supporters.
