A less dramatised version of events from Sky here: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11719_5389552,00.html

I think that the FL will probably want the weekend in order to work on their own strategy FF. This is not an easy one for them to worm their way out of, and therefore they will probably see the next couple of days as 'breathing space' and a chance to try to come up with something watertight for Monday.

Big problem there - where do we find one of those these days Phil...???!!!

TL - top man - was just about to ask for a quick update - many thanks on behalf of us all.

Errr just as a matter of interst (to me only!) whats the weather like, I'm off to Peschiera on Tuesday for a bit of a break.

Not 'arf - especially after he's lost a game, he'd luv it, luv it...!

Well the timings appear perfect for me - off on holiday to Lake Garda on Tuesday, by then we should be in the know and it will be the perfect start to the holiday.

You're a laaff....!

I know, MLG made the FAME = BOS connection, and while I agree it will initially - ultimatley seats will only remain full if results are good. FAME alone will not fill stadiums. I agree with you, certain managers will attract certain types of players - some managers will have better contacts than others as well. At the end of the day though - results will be the key.

Noodles - if it helps, I honestly think that you are going to struggle to get both the new owner and manager into a nutshell....!

Exactly - you can play the fame card only so far. I hope that Alan Shearer doesn't find that out too early at Newcastle next season as that looks likely to be his first managerial position. Would hate to see him fail at his first attempt as a manager.

I think if you read St Louis' 'one liner', it was said (posted) very much 'tongue in cheek' - the quotes, use of the word unbelievably and exclamation mark are the clues - I think.

Agreed MLG - but those bums on seats will fast disappear should the 'Famous One' fail to add SUCCESS (WINS) to his portfolio. Remember we are fickle, and at the first sign of trouble I fear 'the bums' will vacate their seats. Fame will, admittedly, get you off to a flyer, but ultimately everybody will be judged on the results.

...and WGS...!

Yeah I know - but it was nothing to get steamed up about really though...!

In that case it is patently obvious that they are not on gardening leave as the ground is still totally overgrown, there is no sign of gardening whatsoever. Perhaps then, they have just been put out to grass...!!!

Go on - you know you want to.....!

Ahhhh Jim Ratcliffe - that all fits in perfectly with the last CD clue - clear as mud now.... oohhhh...!

Listen, I don't care who or what he is - there is absolutely no way that I want a cross dresser running SFC - period...!

Any use...???

Cheers trousers - I did actually manage to google it myself in the end though. Isn't this old ground though - haven't we discussed this elsewhere on this board or am I going senile...!

Who are fansonline ? Link, anybody...???

Doooh - sad but probably true - at least my confession allows you now to revert to your normal, sub-standard bollux...!!! Post away - first one to 20,000 wins....!

Perhaps some posters should be charged 'by the post' as opposed to the 'bog standard' five quid...! Nice milestone though Nick, any chance that you could throw in at least one sensible post during the next 10,000 though...!

Nope - and he won't get to see sixty bloody six if he pulls more shyte like that either...!!!
