Very good article and exactly my view. If we'd have got Moyes in when Adkins left it'd be lauded as a huge statement of intent.
I think well get Koeman and I'm fine with that, but I think Moyes would be the best man for the job.
Ralph's plan coming together. Like I said yesterday, sort out the mess he inherited first then he can be creative.
All together now
'He used to coach hockey
He f*cking hates pompey'
There hasn't been a fire sale. The only player who has left is one who has been given an opportunity to finish his career at the club he has supported all his life. It is only right the board don't stand in his way to fulfill a personal ambition. I for one applaud their decision. Football is riddled with greed and egos but by allowing Rickie to move they have show that not only are they great leaders but also great people.
I have every confidence that Ralph will deliver. His first priority was to sort out the mess he inherited from our previous CEO and he appears to be well on the way to doing this. Once the issues have be resolved then we can move forward with a clear horizon, nothing to worry about on our plate. Concentrating only on things that are creative not destructive. I know we are only human and we get these emotions, let's call them negate emotions, but when all these are removed and the road ahead is clear, now you're going to create something. That is where we will see the true value of Ralph.
Done very well so far. Forced pochettinos hand by making him resign, got a good fee for a 32 year old player past his best. He's stated the clubs ambition and looking to attract a high calibre manager to continue our upward trajectory whilst clear the club of deadwood and those not fully behind or able to see through the new new plan until completion. He inherited a mess from cortese and has so far been made a good, positive start in his rebuilding job. 8 out of 10.
I forgot about your mondeo, you're the bench mark of middle aged blandness
I've got a 6 month old 318d m sport now, very nice. Although in that price bracket my fav is the merc cla 220 cdi, beautiful looking.
That message currently reverberating round the world that we are a massive and strong club due to our 8th rather than cup final and 11th finish shows no sign waning.
Didn't hear it but great Reading, confirms my faith in Ralph and the board that not only are they still driving the club forward they are doing it with the best interests of the club at heart in a fan friendly way.
