Whats the DUkan diet?

At the time this happened i mentioned this on here, i was told i was wrong. Apparantly this happened after a preseason friendly, (Ajax i think, cant remember 100%) and Adkins thought he was going to be fired then. I also know that Di Matteo was being lined up in the summer to replace Adkins if he didn't get the Chelsea job. Chelsea had two preffered targets and if they got them the Di Matteo wouldn't get the job. I also said this at the time as i know a member of the Chelsea board and speak to him regularly as well as his sons. I was of course mocked and abused for this. I think the words are "who the f*ck is laughing now"

No idea. The spanish guy who was on about our MP coming here was on about it.

Are we getting this DOF chap in? the spanish fella on sky alluded to it.

Quite. We seem to have a bit of a track record for not paying bills. As MLG seems to like track records then we should be very worried, shouldn't we?

How do you know we wont need to get into that sort of debt to deliver your champions league dream?

Come back on the 5th of February and then we'll know if builders are going to finish the job or not. As things stand it's far from certain that it'll be completed in the summer of 2013, if at all. As it stands, they haven't delivered it. anyway, the point quite clearly being that it's easy to put a few picutres out in the public domain isn't it. Doesn't mean anything and Pompeys owners delivered an FA Cup win and European football, they delivered.

I think it'll be Wigan, Villla and QPR or Reading. One of them will get out of it. Probably QPR.

The skates owners delivered European footballl and an FA Cup win, things which you fantisise about. It's fair to say they delivered as well is it not? How sure are you it'll be finished in 5 months time?

This is not the plan of a chairman that is happy with relegation fights or mid table mediocrity every season...How is it coming on??

so you think a must win game in a relegation dog fight against QPR which is the difference between 17th and 18th will attract a smaller crowd than a midtable game against QPR where it doesn't really matter if we win or lose as it's the difference between 10th and 11th?

good work!!

i get bullied by all my bosses so im used to making their tea, getting their lunch and picking up their dry cleaning.

new Head Chef would be more appropriate i think.

We can expect to see plenty more propganda over the coming weeks. On the UI site yesterday there were 2 or 3 brand new posters, all of which were going on about what a great decision it was to sack Adkins and how the new man will move the club forward. It was embarassingly obvious. The funniest post was one claiming they were 100% confident we'd stay up now the change had been made and we'd probably finish 14th or 15th. So right about where we are now then.

which one was that?

Cortese HASN'T put money into the club. Some of you need to understand this. He is an employee. He is paid to do a job by the owners and uses his mates credit card.

Its one thing to get out of league one and into the premier league,. Quite another to break into the top 4.

It wasnt a daft question. One club, 18 years ago. ONe club who were smashing transfer records. That's how difficult it is. Everton have had David Moyes, a top manager for over 10 years and have built a quality team gradually. They've qualifed ONCE. Please prove where i have said that we can never challenge for a top 6 place. I think you'll find i have said we can do it, but it would be a massive achievement and not something that is going to happen anytime soon or regularly. Now tell me why we will be so much more successful than those like Aston Villla, who have tried and failed. Or all the other clubs who get crowds of 30k in the premier league.

Villa finished 6th 3 years in a row. why are we going to do much better than them? sunderland have never qualifed for the champions league Give me a reason why we will do so much better.

Gates of 27k actually at a time when they were smashing record tranfer fees. Oh and BTW Tottenhams average gate is about 36k, and they have a 13k waiting list. Yep, another great example.

One club 18 years ago who were smashing British transfer record fees on world class strikers. Yep, just like saints are doing. Brilliant example :lol: Why do you keep going on about Everton? What Everton do does not effect what Saints do. Everton have qualifed for the champions league ONCE. Plenty of other clubs have never got there. Aston Villa, how about them. They spent a fortune when Martin O'Neill was there and never got above 6th. Please explain why we will do so much better than them.

no they aren't, they get crowds 20% higher.

Perhaps MLG can name the Premier clubs that have qualifed for the champions league with average crowds of 30k.

How did Aston Villa get on with their top 4 challenge when they spent a fortune under O'Neill and had bigger crowds than us?
