Dark Munster

Quick question for the OP: greatest British manager of all time, Paisley or Fergie?

Even better, wait until a second relegation into L1 (plus administration with minus 10 points). Someone should be able to pick us up for a pittance then.

Ask me when the transfer window closes.

Exactly. Not to mention my-heart-is-with-Liverpool Lovren, here for just one season, given his "dream" move after (allegedly) threatening to go on strike. The line should have been drawn there.

This.

No, but I remember this.

What about Morgan?

SG's account seems plausible, and has made me put my wrist slitting blades away for a day or two. However, a couple of things I'm not sure about: I can understand that MP would plan his departure, and shit-stir with the players, because NC was about to sack him, but why would he continue that trajectory after NC left? Especially since the club (without NC) offered him a healthy new contract. Also, if players are sold for inflated prices, I can't see the value of the club going down by that amount, yet alone more. As long as there appears to be a strong enough squad to survive (and that's certainly debatable at the moment), it could be a feasible strategy for KL to extract as much as possible before selling.

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/article/165/9398282/southampton-slashed-for-relegation Saints slashed for relegation Southampton’s relegation odds have been slashed yet again as their summer exodus continues with the departures of Dejan Lovren and Calum Chambers. The defensive duo have completed their moves to Liverpool and Arsenal respectively, meaning the south-coast club have allowed five of their most prized assets to depart, with Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert also leaving. Sky Bet initially had the Saints as 14/1 outsiders for relegation when they opened betting at the start of the summer but now make them 11/2 for the drop. The transfer betting is cause for further concern with Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez odds-on to join Tottenham this summer, while record signing Dani Osvaldo is also expected to depart. Sky Bet Football Trader Jamie Munro said: “The combination of their mass sales and the fact that we’ve seen more money on them than any other club in our relegation betting has forced us to slash their odds considerably. “It’s unprecedented to cut a Premier League club’s relegation odds by more than half without a ball being kicked but the betting in our Transfer Specials suggests the situation is only going to get worse. “Schneiderlin and Rodriguez have been well backed to join Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham and there’s little to suggest reinforcements are on the way, while Ronald Koeman’s lack of Premier League experience is also cause for concern.”

It is possible if the Don had paid himself a £100 million salary.

Without NC there would have been no ML ownership, no rise to the PL, no quality players left to give empty promises to, and we'd probably still be down in the lower leagues, swimming with the bottom dwelling fish. Assuming we were able to avoid liquidation.

That's a big If.

Notts, to be precise.

We're the second from the right.

And Seattle got a nice 2nd goal in the second half.

Finish 8th with us and he's done a good job. Finish 8th with Spurs and he'll get sacked. Enjoy the pressure MP.

There must be a manager out there stupid enough to buy him.

A comfortable season ahead for us then. And again, I see facts aren't getting in the way of your Glenda love-in. Wigley/Saggy got us relegated, not Luggy.

Missing headline inserted. I also notice that he is a basket slater: hopefully that doesn't mean a basket case.

I think looking between 6th and 20th would be more realistic.

Well at least that part is true. Yes indeed. And so was 2009. Happy birthyears.

....

I'm a big fan of Hondas. Reliable, with great engines.

Good last name though.
