Probably why Yakin has been hanging around waiting for something to turn up, just like Mr Micawber.

Perhaps now, Mauricio and I think also Adkins reported only to Cortese.

Although that definition is open to interpretation in her case.

Obviously can't wait to start the job then. Still handy for some, can get nigh on evens today whereas you could hardly get 2/1 on yesterday.

I think you need to reconsider some of the points in this post actually. Insider betting is illegal. Suggesting that anyone close to the inner circle is actively wagering is borderline.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS, get in!! Oh sorry, wrong match thread.

Anyway Butcher has been sacked, didn't know enough about him to realise it was just some tomfoolery on the part of Viking.

Surely not, are we really that desperate to have a British manager ? Smacks of little englander FA up ass stupidity to me, still it's only a rumour.

Good, free subs all round then.

Buggah. Not good, we need to avoid the follow on.l

Don't know why people are harping on about this bloke, experience only in a minnow league. So they beat Chelsea, Celtic beat Barca, does that mean Lennon is a suitable candidate then? Anyway Yakin will eventually take the job at Spartak.

doesn't seem that way, just a continuing bookies benefit week.

I think you must be jesting here ART, the forum has done nothing to either hinder or promote the choice of the new manager. It's nothing to do with the fans...we'll get whomsoever the board choose, no input from us required or accepted.

Well, if we're talking to managers of the ilk of Toshack, as has been rumoured, we need to add a line to the poll. WTF Choice

So could Dave Merrington

Not hard to understand, he didn't like Falcao and Falcao didn't like him. Cost a couple of million to get shot of Ranieri, right now with Falcao crocked and having had a mediocre season they'd take at least a 10 million hit on him.....simple beancounter logic.

That's good right ? Nothing like a double flake 99 on a summer's day. The yanks can keep their overpriced junk. Went into one of their emporiums in Grenoble once, with my daughter, she, being a princess, had a one of their giant wonder sundaes, I had a simple double scoop of caramel/tangerine and a bill for 26 euros. I jest you not.

That is (would be) a 20+ % downturn on last season then, difficult to understand, Mauricio and Cortese were unpopular right !!

depends where you want to bet, at eights with some wager mongers.

That would be resaonably good news, I just don't want the beetroot head, don't know why but there it is

Nice one Cliff

4 players ? Lallana,Schneiderlin,Lambert.....after that ?? Shaw would have been with the Unders I suppose, Saints Pram XI possibly.

Yes and no, iit's up until the eve of the side's first game but valid medical reasons must be put forward and approuved. There's a clause about the injury having to have detiorated and they must be able to proove that. Back injuries are sometimes hard to assess, prooving they've got worse when the player had done virtually sod all because of it for a while might be tricky. The french docs will come through though, otherwise they'll take their ball home and no-one will get a game..

Still have to wait for the green light from FIFA though. If Morgan replaces Grenier, not too much problem, got injured or injury worsened, not hard to prove. However the case of Ribery is different, he was always crocked but was on the list all the same, they might have difficulty in convincing FIFA that he in fact got worse. No doubt they'll get away with it but Ribery was always a non-starter really.

We had a half hour documentary on the "Poche de Falaise" today, problem is that no presidents or princesses visited it today so Sky probably gave it a miss.
