What....???? I have no idea what you are talking about, but Stu, do you honestly believe that, honestly...? What was the wifes role, what did she do....? Why was she oh so vital to the operation of SFC that she had to come back early...? Sometimes I think that you are more than a little gullible, but then again it could just be that it fits with an agenda - who knows... ? If you want to believe such things - crack on mate. You seem quite content to hear one side of the argument, climb aboard your trusty charger and carry the fight. Problem is - it appears that your happy to do so, so long as it is NC on the receiving end.

With all due respect, I personally don't think he ever threatened any of his staff.

Even so, you're saying that staff have been threatened with instant dismissal for disclosure of information, or 'talking out of turn' - I find that very difficult to believe. Highly, very highly unlikely in this day and age.

Sacked, what right there and then, on the spot...? Are you sure that he didn't say shot, let's face it the guy is now running our club somewhat toutamount to an Italian Godfather. You appear somewhat excitable about this guy, most corporates include staff confidentiality agreements, which if breached can lead to disciplinary action. Sacking people on the spot, in this day and age is a little harder - honestly, trust me.

'Happy Slap' these thugs to death in front of thier parents.

I love your wit sir. They are currently struggling to put out a fukkin' 5 a side team and the only buxom thing around will be AA's pay packet once he has left them high and dry - geeze, wotamess...!!!

Can't see any VFM there at all....

Had to laugh at this comment though: Jagermeister, 19/07/2010 12:38:21 Nugent will be fine in the Championship no questions asked. Needs 6 or 7 games to get match fit and will be gr8. If we can keep him he will be good for 25+ goals and if we can sort our def and midfield and keep David James we will have a good chance of promotion. Come on offer DJ coaching job or whatever it takes to keep him, he will be worth 20+ points alone between the sticks Ummm so the plan is - Jamo keeps 'em out at one end, Nugent bangs them in at 'tother and all will be well. My I laughed...!

Some pics here: http://www.fcsochaux.fr/fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1888&Itemid=106 Obviously biased towards FC Sochau, but worth a look anyway.

Simple really: P 46 HW 23 HD 0 HL 0 F 90 A 0 AW 23 AD 0 AL 0 F 90 A 0 Pts 138 Anything less will simply be failure and should result in AP and NC out FFS...!

Errr what...??? He and his team had a decent game, refereeing THE biggest game on the planet. The players made it a fractuous affair with constant fouling and calling for cards. He did very well to keep all the players on the field for as long as he did. There is no bigger game than that that he has just officiated at - so you could well be right in a way - he won't get a bigger game.

Indeed, congrats to the Kiwi's.

Practice by slinging it up in the garden before you go: Looks fairly easy to me...!

I would tend to agree, but if the quotes in the article are true, it would appear that they could be in line to get at least 7 million for him. If RH has put that figure in the quote to 'test the water', then PFC have to make a serious decission as to whether they accept or hold out for even more and risk losing the deal altogeather. Either way 7 million is a lot more than most on here thought he would go for, but on the other hand the article might hold no substance whatsoever.

And that, according to the article, is a low bid, so perhaps some have under-estimated thier ability to raise the 15 million.

Muted celebrations here in Germany - I think they really thought they were in for a shot at the big one. That said, a fairly young team that did very well all told.

Errrr personally methinks he tells many many porkies....!

Yeah I know - but you really shouldn't wish this wacko on anybody. Looking at that website I'd rather have my 6 year old son calling the shots - he'd do a better job (ohhh and probably a better 'Blueprint for Success' lmao).

If you check out the IBASE website you can see that it is a very professionally run operation...! Strangley though, until recently there was at least three directors listed there, they seem to have now disappeared and the only contact details available is mark@ibase - strange eh...! http://www.ibaseuk.com/index.html Mind you if you want a boat that's the place to go, they can buy you one of those too...!!! I feel for the AFCB fans - this guy is a complete wacko.

Have nothing but praise for the man (and NC as well). Just think, we could have been a year down the line under the stewardship of Pinnacle and probably further in the mire than we were. Thank you Markus and Nicola.

Bit of an air of depression around here right now - best get a beer and slope off to bed before the locals kick off...!!!!

I'm not bothered either way - but I should warn you that at the last WC Final I was in Lake Garda surrounded by Italians - they won it, this year I will be in Germany for the Final....! Should have been 2 nil there....

Oooooo errrrr it's all gone quiet over here right about now..... I'm driving a dutch registered car as well which will probably get trashed in the car park now - doooooh...!!!

I'm currently in Germany and the locals are getting wrestless...!
