MLT. Fact was money could not buy him.

Let's see what squad we have available for the start of the season, and then on 31st August before making predictions. Gut feeling though is that we will be somewhere between 10th and 14th. Possibly even a managerial change between Nov and end of January if things look sticky.

Wonderful imagery there Smirking, take a bow. You really are the DH Lawrence of this board.

Impressive then, but is a better than Rodriguez or Barnard ? And gets injured a lot ? That's what we like. Injured a lot, and 10 years younger than Connolly. Sounds perfect. But won't happen, not ITK , just my view.

Remotely possible that something may be lost in translation ?

Has it been confirmed it is being broadcast live anywhere ? My assumption is that it was a standard press conference, where a few scribes ask general questions, (and a jap at the back just asks where Yoshida has been for holiday, eaten this morning etc). No real reason for national interest in an interview with MP at this stage, unless of course there is something to reveal.

bar-steward, you beat me to it !

Simon Peach says otherwise

For he's a jolly good Tello...

Amazing isn't it ? You look at the Hull home kit as a template, or the Swindon away, and see what Adidas can produce, or the Ajax home for an example of keeping with tradition, and just wonder why ? Cortese really has been sold - or selected - the runt of the Adidas litter.

Sounds a case of "Say Tello, wave goodbye" then.

What about Sir Clive , or Simon Clifford if we need some revolutionary coaching ?

See post 24.

I'd support NC in not being held to ransom by agents, but we do 'seem' to find difficulty in concluding deals, or perhaps we just (unluckily) court the most complex ones with multiple owners etc.

Unless of course they haven't been signed up elsewhere already, by a club with less ambitious, but arguably more realistic targets to begin with. Perhaps Katharina & Co will take a lesson from the master ,and seek a new CEO "to take us to the next level" required.

Was he better than Lee Todd ?

That format, and the Ajax shirt I posted earlier, really make the abortion we've got seem criminal.

On the subject of MLT & Mick Channon: Agree with your observations on MC & MLT, there are very few, if any who would have a bad word to say about either and the way they have conducted themselves. Can't be said of all our former heroes. Sorry to see you edited your post yesterday about both putting up with sh!t since retiring !

Isn't Defoe another 'incredible sulk' though ? As is Bent. Of the two, Defoe is the better player in my view , although he is an ex-skate.

Sign on back of door to be added : Did you remember to wipe your arse ?

New music for team to come out to:

That's a fair comment LGTL, if I had a little more "youthfulness" on my side I'd say MLT also.

I expect he'd rather not feel the need in the first place. And as said before on this thread, can you imagine the furore if Lowe had done this ? Although even to Lowe's credit he might have blustered his way through a press conference explaining his reasons.

Totally agree with Channon's Sideburns on the issue, but its not just about a shirt, but part of the SFC identity being carefully eroded.

And a further thought on Fer, is that he too is likely to be a fraction of the Wanyama fee.
