the problem would seem to be that NC is sitting in his (MLT) chair. MLT never came across to me as the brightest bulb in the chandelier and his constant sniping just makes me think I wasn't wrong. I see the other old fool who should know better is expressing his doubts about our new manager's credentials in the papers as well.

about his level nowadays actually I'd expect.

bloke is 34 going on 35 and scrubbing it away in South America. It's a joke, we have Gaston in that role.

I thought he was going to the Venezuelan second division or something.

It was 13°C in Montpellier just now, Barcelona isn't that far away, bit further west, bit further south.

what do you expect, bloke hasn't played much football this season so far. Probably had his confidence shot away by a senseless move.

Don't think Martin has been in any squad so far this season, probably because up until recently he wasn't even in our selected 25 man group submitted to the PL. I just presume he's replaced Seaborne for the time being and Forren will replace Dickson . Think that gives us a full house though, still as we still have a bit of dead wood in there we can shift it around a bit to accomodate any other signings.

It's football. The EPL is on TV in Europe for about 10/12 hours a week. Laudrup knew a lot about the PL did he?

Who last played 45 minutes on 1st Jan. Seems strange because Martin doesn't actually form part of the squad, they must have changed it I suppose.

maybe but they're trying desperately to sign a striker from Bordeaux right now. Gouffran, out of contract in June, a million will get it done but Toon have only offered about half of that. Yanga Mbiwa is up there today so with the 8 million that he'll cost them and Debuchy at 6 million they've spent a bit already.

And Martin last played a game at a respectable level when?

I'd rather have Mauricio on the bench than Martin but it won't happen, perhaps the Norwegian press are wrong. Unless of course Fonté is there or thereabouts.

not surprising as Everton have Jelavic on point and Jos is far taller than Forren I believe.

Not Guly then or JRod as as the start of the season?

that may well change. Manager appoints the Captain not the ex manager.

Perhaps they're all on gardening leave until NA gets another job and comes calling.

all NC did is refused to sell him at less than his value thus creating a limbo situation. Not wanted by NA not going anywhere else for nowt. Well that's how I saw it I think.

Sky game, they'll do what it takes. Yesterday's games were on in pretty awful conditions.

Or it could just be a "get 'em while they're hot, they're lovely" Wengerian philosophy is at work at SFC.

To me Crouch was obsessed by being at the reins of SFC, anything that might achieve that was worth a try. Like buying a lot of shares at 65p which was ridiculous and put any one with serious money off because all shares then became that price or damn near it.

depends exactly who was trying to push him out of the door, if you believe rumours that is. Was it Adkins to make room for JRod or was it NC to make room for a different kind of football. I guess if he goes anywhere at any time soon we'll know.

I don't think Liebherr was a billionaire at all, perhaps in Swiss francs. Rich man but the wealth attributed to him was probably overstated ten fold. The figure that is often attributed to him refers to the whole Liebherr family from which he seemed to be a bit estranged . All of his businesses have fallen under the spell of Cortese and a lawyer liquidator from Zurich. That wouldn't happen if billions were involved.
