Whitey Grandad

Er... two and a half years. I just want to set the record straight, like, just saying...

My thoughts too. I would have to say that it's very unlikely that he has such knowledge. There again, he could just be an egotistical megalomaniac with no understanding of football at the upper levels.

I wouldn't know. :-(. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

Yes, he doesn't understand the football culture in England.

We've never had a problem before.

B*ll*cks, now ill miss it. I hate bloody Premier League.

Well we certainly can't afford another two months like the first two of this season.

Not long enough to tell.

Seems entirely reasonable to me.

I think we are above, with signs of rising slightly higher.

I make it 'little hand bag', it looks like the italian diminutive of 'pochette' which my dictionary translates as 'clutch bag'.

Oh, all right, but it doesn't get you very far. Especially if you spend half of it on one player.

It's incomprehensible.

Leave out Ramirez and it's a lot closer. Norwich at least made wholesale changes after promotion.

How much have they spent since being promoted?

5 ?

Pollish: rather like an election.

£30m doesn't begin to buy you a team of Premiership players.

If I remember correctly, his record at Tottenham was comparable to other's.

As many have said, the timing of the decision is crazy to reckless, bordering on stupid.

Yes, that is a worry.

Wouldn't that be the definition of 'higher profile'?

Far too soon to comment on his Premier League record.

Let's not lose perspective. We have a long way to go to get back to where we were under Lowe in the Premier League. Our best team then would batter the one we have today.

I expect a spell of ten games or so whilst he gets to know the team, the other teams, the style of play in the Premiership, the football culture, the local culture, the national culture, finds somewhere to live, learns the language, during which time we muddle along slowly sinking into the bottom three.
