That will depend largely on what level the parachute payments are fixed under the new TV deal. I've seen as much as 25 million for next season plus the solidarity payment. QPR will offload a lot of players as well.

They're not that good, then again neither are most of the others, don't see why they should lose Le Fondre and Kebe really, no more chance of losing key players than any other side. They've Villa,Wigan and QPR at home (and us but they'll not win that) defeating all of those 3 will see them as good as safe. For me it's QPR, Wigan and 1 other from 5 or 6 teams unless Wigan beat Reading at The Madj.... in their next league game..

I don't know about Reading 7 of their last 12 matches are against bottom half teams. If they can win 4 of those they'll go a long way toward survival. I still see Fulham and Norwich spiralling downwards.

Think he's retiring in June anyway. Still think Leeds will go for a bigger name than Adkins.

That will depend what was in his contract or what had been subsequently agreed. When an employer terminates a fixed term contract he is normally liable to pay it up to it's full extent unless it's been agreed otherwise. We don't know the details for early termination so just can't speculate on what will happen. Plenty of managers have been sacked by a club and obtained full payment even if they've got a new job a few days afterwards. Adkins had a contract until 2015, normally the club owes him for all of it. It cost us over a million to sack Pardew even though he only had a year and a bit on his contract.

I confidently predict that next years superbowl NFC team will be playing in the Eagles first home game of the season and the Eagles first away game of the season In fact in all of the Iggles games next season.

I still have my doubts about him as a top class manager. Leeds just don't have the nucleus that Nigel inherited from Pardew and it would be nigh on impossible to buy it. He could buy players that are good but would he find at least 5 players who are capable of stepping up their game to a new level every time it's asked of them ? Clubs coming down from the PL this season may be getting whacking great does of PPs and to me they'll be among the favourites for promotion again.

probably becaue the team in 17th place has got better results since then though. HR seems to have obtained 13 points from 13 games so they must have had just 4 from the 13 games that Hughes was in charge. We also had 4 from 10 but we've got a lot better results since then. Our excuse was that we had some pretty hard games but I doubt if the same could be applied to QPR's start to the season. HR's record of a point a game might be enough to keep a side up if applied throughout the season but to obtain at least 35 points from 25 games was always going to be a tall order with a lot of the better sides still to play.

Marmite isn't a meat extract, it's vegetable and yeast based. I like horse anyway so i wouldn't mind some of those gee-gee lasagnes if they're giving them away . Bet they're not allowed to give them to the Restos du Coeur or Secours Populaire though. What a waste.

Incredible the way Liverpool just fell apart after their missed penalty. Mind you having an old donkey like Carragher in central defence can't possibly help. Rodgers has got that all wrong.

He'll only get the Villa job if they go down. They won't get fooled again, if they stay up they'll either keep Lambert or get an experienced manager in, I'm thinking Martinez cos if Villa stay up Wigan will go down..Under those circumstances I could see Adkins at Wigan though.

I think that would depend on the standard of "acceptable fitness" in the Norwegian Leagues. They play relatively few games I think and their season goes from spring to fall or similar. We have what a 2 month break in the summer and then a 6 week or so build up period to the season so he might not be quite ready as yet.

strangely strange tidbit here. When Coutinho came on for Liverpool yesterday evening the Canal+ summariser said that we also wanted him but only offered to take him on loan with an option. Where they get this stuff from I just don't know but as he has French agents I wouldn't be at all surprised if it wasn't from source.

Right now I wouldn't forgo either Davis or JRod for Gaston, Gaston might do some nice things from time to time but those 2 are a constant threat to the opposition. For me just now Gaston and Adam will just have to bide their time and do all that's asked of them for 25/30 minutes a game. Neither of them has the 90 minute long intensity required to start just now. JRod is a front man and is always looking to get into the box, Rickie automatically drops off when he does that and it works really well, I'd say SRL is a better hole player than Gaston just now.

I think most people in football just see us as bottom grubbers ad infinitum, few internationals, no household names. Doubt if Mancini has ever heard of half of our players. Trouble is they're totally wrong, we are near th bottom because of our awful start but our last 16 results would put us easily in the top half, somewhere between Everton and Swansea..

I have no idea

he might well be, there's a poster on this forum who's son is part of the first team set up at West Ham, I thought it was the The Gaffer but I could be wrong, you'd have to go back through his posts because he mentions it often enough (if it is indeed he)

his dad posts on here or used to anyway. The Gaffer ?

In his pre-Wigan interview he said. "Things are a bit clearer for me just now. It’s very important for the goalkeeper to have confidence from the gaffer. which says to me that Adkins didn't accord him his confidence.

who needs a first team performance analyst anyway, just another snout in the trough. Since the change of manager it's pretty evident that the players are capable of more than they were before so everything connected with the old regime should be swept out.

not all Chapel Stand's fault. Incident could easily have been swept under the rug, bit of a fine, a mea maxima culpa, in goal the week afterwards again. I don't think the manager wanted to do that, same as with the initial Pucheon/Crosby affair. If you look at Boruc's interview on the OS last week he says that from the start it was "complicated".

I thought Jos looked like he'd gained a weeny bit of awareness and even half a yard of pace on Saturday. New coaching team and system might be making an even better player of him. Most players have a little hidden extra in them, it's up to the coaches to find it and exploit it. As I've said many times I really don't think that our former coaches were up to PL standard players. The players might have the standard in them but the coaches weren't good enough. same old routines time after time just made the players platform out.

they probably just want to keep him so the figure has to be totally unrealistic. Doubt that it happened anyway. There are probably better players available for less, like Younes Belhanda for 8 million euros. Just can't believe that the young bloke I saw at PSG could be worth anywhere near that sum now. NB If you believe all you read this bloke has a 20 million € release clause and has been linked to every rich mega spending club in Europe in the last year or so. Agent with an over active imagination and unfillable pockets is the most likely source of this "rumour". Same agent as Coutinho, there you go, transfermarkt lists his value as somewhere around 7 million £

Dalek is a trolling non-entity, he just posts stuff to make people bite. If we won the Champions League he'd be posting about being knocked out of the League Cup by Barnet or something.
