Sometimes it's neither the man nor the wives but the mother in law.

Why? must be getting pretty used to it by now.

And here again we fall upon the eternal question of Harry Redknapp. His system is like a Welsh Mountain Railway, one track, has a lot of ups and downs and is basic and dirty. But like the said WMR, it gets to where it's supposed to eventually. However if any other train tries to use it, it doesn't fit.

Is that instead of or as well as Andrew Davies?

Wasn't Falstaff supposed to be doing something this week? Sir John Falstaff,now there was a man who could have talked a good takeover.

At least it's only money, I remember all the Woodbines I smoked at a very young age to get Nat Lofthouse.

It's not about debt, it's about ego. When Chelsea sign the best players they will win the league again. Tevez,Rooney,Ronaldo,Berbatov,Vidic,Ferdinand,Van Der Saar says they won't. Not to put too fine a point on it but how many africans are there in Man U's side??

Doubt if they've got 15 million to be honest. 5 between them perhaps,not in readies though.

Player power strikes again.

why are they 21 million in debt? is it mortgage debt on their stadium or just good old-fashioned debt.How much was their overdraft ?

who? not Zola then

85 million in debt, perhaps not. Perhaps they'll hire Poortvliet instead. If they can afford to pay off Southgate of course.

I'm not saying anything of the sort, wish I hadn't bothered.Just that he was rumoured to be in line for a bigger and presumably better job.

he can't...it's full members only as far as I know

Anyway whilst we're on the subject of Pearson here's a juicy one. Some are saying that Southgate will be sacked soon and that Pearson will replace him. Wonder how they'd feel about that a Leicester.

Far far less than a "manager" at 320K per annum unfortunately. We were cost cutting, he wasn't having any of it. End of. If he'd have agreed to work for 100K/annum no doubt he'd still be here. The board don't give a toss about the fans just now, they HAVE to cut costs, if people don't turn up to watch us that's just part of the collateral damage. We will have cut our salary mass by over 50% (wait and see) anything that stopped us doing that was surplus to requirements.I don't like it any more than anyone else but there was no other solution.The STs were disastrously low and financial backers aren't particulary interested in would bes or might haves. We were already 4K down on STs alone, that costing the club nigh on 2 million in guaranteed revenue. The crowd downturn was to be expected in any case.Not so much perhaps but people were bitterly disappointed in our last season's showing.

That and the 320K salary he's purported to have asked for.

I thought he wanted 10 million for transfers and Rupert laughed at him. Probably just urban myth though. There was a guy who always used to insist that we were run like a corner shop...probably gave up in the end.

We do seem to have a penchant for making bad managerial decisions though. It can only be because we're such cheapskates,can't see any other reason. Do not forget Moyes turned us down because the transfer budget was laughable.

Didn't understand the specificity of football north of the English Channel, like so many before him. English football is in no way, shape or form played as it is elsewhere. It's probably the others who've gone off the track though. I watched Spurs Arsenal yesterday and couldn't believe some of the stuff that fouls were given for and some of the stuff that wasn't.

Nah we were bullsh*tted about them,and their "impact from day 1. Crouch and McMenemy fooked up, you've got to accept that. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-512867/Saints-faith-Gorman-Dodd.html

It has everything to do with the ability of the players, that's the whole point. Great players can impose their will on the game by their finesse and technical ability. Lesser players may want to go down the wing or through the middle or deliver raking 50 yard crossfield passes but they don't have the ability to do so, thus the opponents impose their style on the game with ruggedness and force.If we had Ronaldo,Berbatov and Rooney we'd do whatever we wanted as well.

A loan at 1.5 million for a handful of games? Sounds like a right load of old carp to me.

What a futile argument. The best team in the world plays however it wants because it is composed of 30 or so of the world's best players. Assembled at a cost of about 500 million pounds there's no point in comparing it to our bunch of odds and ends.

What's this got to do with Steve Moran, I think he's a lorry driver nowadays.
