who knows, they may need to get a point to stay up and we'll be on the beach already.

so they've bought Pompey on the never never

It's football nowadays, if you have ambition and yer man ain't getting the job done you get someone else. Cortese was apparently concerned about Adkins knowledge (or lack of ) the upper spheres of football. It's all in an interview Morgan gave to L'Equipe or one of it's reporters at the end of last month. Not going to put it up here in case some of the contents don't please but he's pretty straightforward when replying about some things. Morgan has become a bit of a media darling in France since he's become the Number 1 rated Frenchy in the PL (on stats...they like stats) and there are a lot of interviews kicking around. Think he's even got his own programme on tele this coming Sunday...L'Equipe de Dimanche.

exactly; The Liebherrs are way way way in the background nowadays, not sure that they actually own anything anymore. Everything's been consolidated and liquidated and what's left is run by Cortese and a Swiss administration lawyer. Suspect the Liebherrs got all the money and Cortese got everything else.

err I got it from a Flemish newspaper around the time of Adkins sacking.

Past "links" don't mean much. Why last summer apparently Nige's number 1 target was a bloke called Bram Nuytink or something like that...did he ever get a mention in "links" ?

Not sure that you could have Fonte and Essien at the same club.

and less than 300 games on the clock to boot.

don't see that as a problem myself, Shaw is a fantastic prospect yes but there are better left backs still.

If indeed we are looking at Mathieu Flamini, which I very much doubt, just his agent doing his job I expect, then I would be worried about who will be leaving. I still expect Morgan to move to this summer if he doesn't get a call up for the French squad on their summer tour to South America. Any player with serious ambition to be in Brazil in 2014 will want to be part of his country's squad by this summer, after that it's too late. See him at Man U or Arsenal myself. Steve Rowley from the Arse has watched him 5 or 6 times of late and Wenger was extremely evasive when asked about him during the France-Spain game. Just depends on how much Nicola is prepared to refuse for him, if we get a bid of over 15 million he'll be gone.

probably just scared of Artur anyway.

because Markus's major company ,Mali Internation AG is run by Cortese and a Zurich administrator called Werner. It's public domain stuff, anyone can look it up.

why would we consider a failure like Arshavin ? NC has big big plans, he wants international experience now, that's partly why Adkins was evinced in favour of Mauricio, a man with top level experience to take us forward . We will sign 3 or 4 players I think and none of them will resemble Arshavin,Flamini or Phil Neville. Unfortunately I think there will be 1 at least major departure.

sounds like a lot of old bolloaks, doubt if "the Liebherrs", whoever that may be these days, actually take any interest in the club. SFC=Cortese. Nearly everything Markus ever owned or created is run by Cortese.

does Bailey look like an impressive acquisition ?

a pair of flying ducks, Hants batting without McKenzie gives me the shudders.

doesn't look very likely though, nevertheless we may improve as the game goes on.

I trust you don't use 'hook up' in the US colloquial sense

you can have a look here,http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/rcd-espanyol/transfers/verein_714_2012_default_default_alle_a_default.html you'll have to change the season indicator at the top for each season that he was manager there. seem to always have a positive balance on their transfer trading though. Can't say a lot of the names meanb much to me.

MP likes stats, big part of his planning apparently.

Or West Ham, they're alway in the market for strikers, perhaps they could trade one of their many failures for him.

in fact if Kebé and Roberts weren't serial sicknotes this season I'm not sure that ALF would be a starter. Kebe is a handy player. Him I wouldn't mind us signing.

perhaps we have some of those in the youth squads. Aren't there some promising hotshots just waiting for their chance to shine on the PL stage?

Why do you keep mentioning S****horpe? Oscillating between League 1 and the Championship is nothing to do with gaining promotion to the PL. I was never ever a fan of Adkins, I'm one of the "45" and was often a fierce critic of his tactics and player management.

Suarez had a handicap...he's on 9 yellows and they don't want him to get suspended for 2 games. If you take the niggle and bite out of his game you take away what he is.
