As i've said before, Reed tells what he believes to be the true facts, I doubt whether he really knows what they are. It's just one big gabfest that's going on, call it communication nowadays I think, the inner circle of the board do know what they're doing,whether we'll like it is something else.

Salah is an egyptian, work permits are sometimes difficult when those needing them are loaned to other clubs, not impossible but it's a bit of a process. As far as I know WPs aren't transferable, the specific club holds them for specific players. That was the case with Traoré, when he was going to West ham on loan they had to get a permit, he didn't have the necessary qualifications so it was a tribunal that decided. When he eventually went to Everton they had to apply all over again. Now when a club has obtained a permit on the basis of exceptional quality the tribunal takes a dim view of him being loaned out a few months afterwards. Thet's why so many are loaned out to countries where WPs aren't required.

Will Utd be stronger ? No-one can possibly know that really. They've got Van Gaal but whether he's what they need or not who can say. He wasn't ther first choice apparently but Del Bosque turned them down. If he thinks he can do wel in the PL by flooding his side with Dutchmen then perhaps he has another shock coming. I fully expect Spurs to finish Top 5 next year and with a bit of a push perhaps they'll even sneak above Arsenal.

In a word... No. Not a PL manager in any way whatsoever. If the club should try to re-introduce Adkins there will be a mass exodus, players have seen the difference between a textbook FA coach and the real article, they won't want to go back.He's lucky to still have a job at Reading really.

Perhaps that suited the board well enough, perhaps they never wanted to keep him, just an illusion that they managed to sell us. Waiting for the next developments to see if we can't judge them differently. To me they're all about saying the right thing, what you people want to hear, doing it is something else. Now KL assured us how hard she tried to keep NC, then some hinted that he wa in fact sacked. The CEO debacle, did we actually interview candidates or was that just smoke and mirrors as well, did we turn them all down or did they not like our "project " Lots of questions, few solid answers.

You reject Laudrup on the basis that he doesn't hang around long anywhere and then select a bloke with a very similar penchant for change. We'd be his 6th club in 8 years as a coach/assistant coach. Why did he pull the plug on Bâle then, oh yes he'd taken them as far as he could, presumably the same at Thoune and Lucerne. People are just touting names they know very little about. Beat Chelsea a couplee of times, Lennon beat Barca, does that make him a desirable candidate though ? Before going too far down the Yakin road (which might be good) you really need to know why he quit on Bâle, I thought it was to go to Lazio, perhaps not.

Spurs don't need Lallana, they have by far enough talent in his role, won't be a priority for them.

He'll have a squad there, rather than a team and a few misfits to back it up.

I remember this being invoked a while back, if Pochettino is no longer here they can sell whoever they like without welshing on their statements. Must have known he was going then and played the smart arses. Mind you some of our public deserve to get crapped on like that, most lapped up the free parking,the open letters, Le Tissier back in grace and selling the banned books again. Proved themselves to be easily pandered to, look where it's got them.

A word of advice, it's probably not quite the right moment to restart your bolloax drivel about Hoddle

really, thought you were a big fan.

What kind of money, they made 89 million from the PL, some ticket money, a bit from the Europa league. No reason for them not to have money for a few transfers, got plenty of players to sell as well.

We've got 2 beancounters, lowest salary gets the job, easy decision.

won't happen, L'Equipe are already talking about Morgan going to Tottenham, didn't listen but it sounded well based.

What on earth has Patty Harrison got to do with it.:uhoh:

err so were Swansea and West Brom, one got a complete failure and the other got Gary Monk. A PL team in our time is what the owner is prepared to invest in it once it gets to second base.

and the nucleus of a side capable of reaching the higher echelons.

Not to mention those that need to go.

let someone prove to me that our owner is a billionaire, it's all I ask, and have been asking these last 5 years. It's paper talk based on incorrect supposition and doubtful extrapolation.

no but each thing in it's time. I have zero confidence in them.

Here comes Ralphy Waffle

Has Lallana left as well then ?

Roumania was under accessionary terms on free access to labour markets up until the 1st january of this year I believe. They could be in most countries of the EU but didn't have the right to work.

Mauricio thanks you for your kind words and ongoing support then.
