I saw Les Reed in The Peartree with some German looking bloke called Tommy, who was drinking a stein of lager. Unfortunately, Mental Mark got involved in the negotiations and Les had to give him a quid for the pool table to get rid of him.

Disappointed about Schmidt. Les can't afford to cock this appointment up.

Eric you rascal. Give us a f*cking clue!

Probably true.

Oddschecker doesn't even show Schmidt in the running.

Nobody wants Puel out more than me. But this post is absolutely right.

I would add Pellegrini to the shortlist of Schmidt and Tuchel.

Gates would be more than welcome in Woolston, and I would be happy to have a pint with him in my local. But if he started giving it the big one about Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, I would f*cking end him. 'Oi, Gates Nooooo'.

Works for me.

So if we don't sell VVD there is no transfer budget? Sounds about right to be fair.

I couldn't give a monkeys how much money he's been offered. He signed a 5 year deal and Ralph said we didn't have to sell this Summer.

I'm not sure they disliked him personally. It seems that professionally they didn't rate his coaching, training sessions or tactics.

A good 85% of our home supporters, and probably the vast majority of the squad would disagree. I wish him every success back in France. Some things just don't work out.

That's nice. What team do you own?

Thought Corbyn did OK. Mind you, the questioners giving him a hard time had the collective intelligence of a large plank of wood. Especially the hooray Henry at the front who liked zero hours contracts so much, yeah right.

Strictly speaking, we can make him stay another 5 years. Relax anyway, Ralph has already said there'll be no firesale this Summer.

Quite frankly, I can't believe Puel's exit from us depends on whether he gets the job at St Etienne. I hope he sorts himself out though.

Why does he have to answer anything to you?

I'll go for 2pm tomorrow.

Pretty much agree with most of that. Not sure the club would particularly want to sell it as Puel moving up the ladder though.

I know it's only a kit, but how good would that be. I remember the socks on the old Patrick kit were outstanding quality, similar to the 80s Barcelona ones, very soft.

Bizarre.

I think ericb has intimated that's what we're doing.

If that's true, he's already been sacked, or he's just sacked himself.

If it's true that he's spoken to them, then surely his position here is untenable.
