  1. I'm pretty sure he made a quote very similar to that in January, so i's guess it's been rehashed to try and save the face of the people at the mirror.
  2. That summed the show up really!
  3. The programme it's self was pretty poor and a feeble attempt at trying to make any sort of point. I think what's got to people is the way we were mentioned, the presenter portrayed it as we were set-up and purchased using the name of someone who died. We all know that wasn't the case, so to use us as an example showed a really poor use of research. Lazy if you ask me.
  4. Signed for AEK Athens i think
  5. The way it was presented was that we were setup and purchased by a dead man, which is so poorly researched it beggers belif. It may not have been the way it was intended to come across, but come on....just a little research please.
  6. Football is such a dodgy business and this sort of thing goes on much more than people realise. This is just like dipping your little toe into the water. As was said above, Leicester is quite clearly an investment vehicle with some powerful people with ''strong'' contacts. Yakubu on loan for e.g........ I'd be worried if i was their fans, I much prefer the way we're run. In the long run we'll be stronger.
  7. Yep, and it was a vehicle to transfer the funds from the overseas account to a British based account to ensure transparency in the purchase of the football club. I'm still of the belief that a sizable ''trust fund'' sits in a UK account for the club to use and for NC to manage how he see's fit.
  8. Bit of an odd post by him.
  9. Wonder what NC will think of his comments...
  10. I think that rules both of them out as potential signings then. (phew on mellor...)
  11. Norwich finished with 3 more points than we did. I'd say that we walked the league in the final 15 games! If we don't strengthen we will not be looking at relegation, mid-table at absoloute worst. You were the one that was harping on about us finishing in the playoffs and missing out on 2nd - which turned out to be a load of turd, so I can safely assume what you are saying now is also a load of turd.
  12. Some of the **** on there beggars belief though:
  13. probably! something to talk about though. I bet we'll sign 2 players that we've not even spoken about at the end of all this.
  14. Another football-rumours thing, but keeps the topic going....(sounds more believable than half the stuff on there)
  15. Check this post as well DD - may be of some help. http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Wireless/Super-Hub-Wireless-Issues-FAQ/td-p/361803
  16. By the subject I guess you connect via wireless? are you using their ''Superhub'' device? One thing you can do is try connecting your Laptop/PC directly to the router via ethernet, and then do a speedtest via this method. I've had connection issues with virgin before (both wireless and wired) and they could never detect anything from their side. It got so bad that I had to ditch them in the end, from 50mb....to 5mb ADSL.
  17. Would be a decent replacement for Savage at Derby, but we wouldn't need him here now.
  18. Same. We're in a position to hold out for what we want now, and clubs don't want to pay it! No longer a case of them dictating the deal!
  19. Players of that level will be tracked by top clubs all over Europe, we do not stand a chance of competing for this level of player until we are established in the premiership.
  20. We probably do, but from what I've heard we've put a stupid price on his head (upwards of £1.5m, which Cortese probably feels he's worth) and no clubs are willing to match it. So it may come down to a loan deal just to get him away from the first team.
  21. MerceSaint28 - I am not deluded, the reality is that we had a championship squad in L1. P'Boro came up with a L1 squad, they have already sold their best player and are replacing them with L1 and L2 players. They have reason to be nervous. We have added a top class Championship player in Jack Cork, so that suggests we won't be resting on our lurrels. We've also got another couple of additions lined up. Are you ITK about Puncheon? I am pretty sure that we've priced him out of a perm move and we'll probably see him move out on a loan deal again. I'm not happy with mediocrity at all, I'm just looking at all the other clubs in the league this year that have a real reason to panic and worry. I'm looking at the teams that have lost their key players, their main men. Then I look at us and see that we have one of the most saught after youngsters in England, a brilliant talent in Lallana and a quality player like Fonte who is back in the league he was very good in previously....oh and we've signed quality like Jack Cork. We need 1 or 2 more players. Any more and it is just adding to the squad for no real reason. Adkins has it right from what he says, add 2 or 3 quality players to the spine and we'll be very competitive. I'm not expecting promotion, it would be mental to expect that in a league which has the quality this has. We can still build and be very competitive though, next season could be a different kettle of fish.
  22. If he was signing from Fulham reserves I doubt people would be so excited! He's pretty average tbh.
  23. But clubs like Blackpool and West ham, and also to a certain extent Brighton - are replacing key players that they have lost. Vaughan, Adam, DJ Campbell (move imminent). Brighton are having to replace Bennett and Murray for e.g. We haven't lost anyone, but we have added one of the most sought after players this summer. Lallana, Chambo, Lambo, Fonte, Cork, would walk into 90% of teams at this level. What a fantastic spine that is by the way, add the likes of Morgan, Guly, Barnard, Harding, Richardson in and around it and we'll be fine. People moaning about our lack of signings is really starting to bug me. Trust the quality we already have, because we have some fantastic players in our team, keyword being ''team''. Teams like the Skates, Forest, Watford have reasons to moan because they can't fill a full subs bench. We really don't know how lucky we have it this summer.
  24. We wouldn't announce a press conference for a non-league player, which is why the poster is talking a load of crap. (I've never actually heard of the player, and he doesn't appear on any Google searches as someone who actually exists)
