Convict Colony

Adam purely based on the suitors and ability to get a ROI. Liverpool have to pay for a 26yr old @ 25mil ish with no sell on value. Man U have to pay for a 18yr old @ 30mil ish who could go for even more in 5yrs. Not many young world class left backs knocking about who've done a season and a half in the EPL at 18yr. Where as there are plenty of world class midfielders knocking about who are younger, faster and cheaper, plus liverpool need to be spending money on their defence first as its f*cking sh*t.

Just listened to the adam blackmore interview and I think that is the best possible interview he could of given outside announcing new manager, Adam/Luke contract extension etc. Very clear, positive and I was really impressed and wondered where we got Mopo from so was interesting to hear we scout managers as well as players, Les Reed is playing real life football manager :-) Happier now and look forward to an appointment.

Though Yakin had a good chat yesterday with the local paper

This is my fav quote from the forum thanks to google translate. "I am the laughter stuck in my throat, cry no more unfortunately goes."

Got a shout ?

Reckon Ralph is gonna take over as with his ice hockey knowledge having been a team coach and the fact that he thinks that football managers don't do much he can combine both roles.

hahaha true that

******** confirmed yesterday http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11810/9328299/ligue-1-marcelo-bielsa-appointed-as-new-marseille-head-coach

I will claim a gold star if we get Sampaoli as I have been championing him (below) for a long time since the Adkins thread Nov 2012, I would also add I can't find 100% confirmation that Biesla has signed on the dotted line for Marseille, just "agreement in principle"

Think I need to step up my world cup decorations to this dudes level -

Vogel the previous boss had lead them to the super cup in Switzerland but the first 2 months they were 4th in the league when he got sacked. Yakin was given the role having led Lucerne to 2nd place in the league the previous season, Yakin then led them to the double double over the next 2 years while players were being sold under him and had them playing a clear structured playing style which someone else noted involved the front 3 revolving during their games. He left at the end of season having given them notice as he wanted a bigger challenge outside of Switzerland, he has been linked with Lazio, Sampodoria and Us amongst others.

Nice article in ESPNFC, I can get behind all of the top 4 on their list, they ruined the credibility with the 5th entry. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/_/name/southampton/id/1399?cc=3888

Yakin every single day 10 times out of 10 from that list in the mirror. Young, hungry, worked with hardly any budget and developed players who were then sold (sound familar) and knows how to play the big teams having beaten chelsea twice, drawn with Spurs and beaten Zenit in european cup competitions over the last 2 years. Also for the headlines when he is signed and leaves. Yak-IN Yak-OUT

Yea I think I already read somewhere that there are breaks through out the contract, hopefully every week hahaha

Free wine to every SWF member (not 3 post lurkers) until the new season kicks off

Football is a cutthroat business, we need to show some inner steel now, something that has been missing since the Don did one.

10000000000000000000%, if beating Chelsea and Spurs in Europe over the years and developing players with a low budget for the team isn't enough I look forward to seeing the guys credentials who is better.

Hey I'm innocent, remember I didn't highlight him on the odds earlier :-)

Dude you are posting more than me today and I don't have to work, please tell me you are in charge otherwise your getting sacked in the morning lol

hahaha

Think Bearsy in all seriousness should write apply for the job.

hahahaha you really have been scoring for fun today, 17th hasn't been used for a while :-)

Appreciate Ralph's statement as he's right

I hate spurs
