Whats your twitter digdog ? Unfootballrelatedish, to do with the job I do Ive had a run in with the don to do with staplewood. Cant reveal too much but put me in a difficult position, I know he was ruthless, I know he wanted his way. As a man he had serious faults, hard to argue against what he delivered. And my honest opinion ? The new lot know how to get on fans side, but can they deliver progress ? Whats more important to a club ?

If anyone knows any history of Pardew, they'd know he has previous and it all goes back to a good friend of mine that helps moderate hobnob forum. Thats no slight on KD, top top bloke

Very true krakster, Im not sure he is that unreasonable, its all brinksmanship isnt it. He wants a fair crack for next year. Its like every negotiation, my boss offers me 1k extra a year, I recommend 20k, we work from there. Realistically though I guarantee this is what it all hinges on, and Ive not trusted the new friendly board since they came in. No money in Jan to prop up our push, why would they now ?

Crook admits to NC supplying stories to the press BTW

Its exactly this, in practice you just respond, tailor a letter you get off moneysavingexpert which politely tells them to **** off and wait. If they respond you threaten to take them to the industry watchdog (equivalent of ofgem etc) if they fail to rule in your favour (v v v v v rare) you may get taken to court. That never ends well for the parking company. Essentially if its a free car park (90min stay etc) they have to reasonably quantify their loss due to your overstay. Essentially if its free you can stay for 100 years and they've lost nothing. I tried it and won, but it does make you worry about it, your choice but read moneysavingexpert and make up your own mind.

Shock that.....

Whilst the sentiment is sound, they all look 12

Theres a new caravan site thats suddenly sprung up ?

Have to agree with this, as annoying the poison dwarf was at least he had ambition. I get the feeling the 'fan friendly' approach is setting us up for a fall here

****ing Michu ? And you talk about a one season wonder ? Jesus christ man what next ? Rhodes up top ?

Your an intelligent chap CB, you know what I meant, he certainly raised his profile but his technical attributes as a coach were always there. Im not entirely sure about this, of course there is a certain amount of him attempting to raise his salary, its just daft to not negotiate after the job he did. Im not sure he is just sat waiting on the spurs job though, its a bigger job then us of course but realistically its gamble, do well and it heightens his career, flop and he is back to square one, agreed its sort of still like that here but he will be a bit more protected. 'Hanging on to hear the project' not quite like that I doubt, but I reckon he wants to know budgets and ambitions, or else whats the point ? Id argue he hasnt had official word yet, hence the pointing at the boardroom he did in his press conference. But thats just me, Im realistic, theres better jobs out there and he wont stay to just keep us midtable IMO

Difficult choice that, I really dont know

Unfortunately we are going to have to put up with it, we have an ex chairman lighting the touchpaper under the media right now in an attenpt to destabilize. Shame NC was such a cretin as I for one think that he could have been an incredible chairman. Certainly he delivered some very positive times for me. As for Krueger, I like the fan friendly stuff I do, but like I said, without action it is meaningless. Abd it appears that Poch is under that same impression. Its clear to me he is getting annoyed at what appears to be a lack of direction. I dont agree with Poch looking to move, I think first and foremost he wants to stay but has not been given assurances. I get that, I hope fans dont start turning on him.

Your a ****

Unless he starts talking about what the footballing ambition is then fair enough, if its just more fan friendly guff Im not interested.

You dont just get rid, this is about assessing his position, you cant blame him for that. NC showed and supported ambition. We dont know what the plans are moving on with the new board. Besides, if Poch does leave it will because the new 'project' shows a lack of ambition, I really dont know who we would get in to just stabilise. Of coarse itll be a decent manager but at Poch's level ? Doubtful

Said this for a while.

Pretty much agree with Adrian, to keep your best players or to make any form of progression you need to show a level of ambition. Finding managers of Pochs level is very hard. And to sign players near Shaw/lallanas level of ability is nigh on impossible. We need to try our best to keep that intact, losing maybe one isnt the end of the world but a couple and the cards will fall down. As for Lukaku he is good but he isnt exceptional, he is massively overhyped IMO, Id rather go for Bony or Benteke

Gangles in the know ? How did that happen ?

Im sure theres a lot of clubs that want him. Will he go ? Who knows, it wont be cheap and will probably hinge on whether the new regime pays for improvements to the squad or not.

Well ok, certainly that time you werent overly poisonous but it does somewhat highlight the frequency of you changing your mind. Im not going to trawl through hundreds of your posts as I really cant be bothered. I think you are quite aware that it happens though, a chairman is never far from a good old hiding from you FF.

Cant see that at all

Thanks Turks, I need all the support I can in these dark times. I will throw off these oppressive names if its the last thing I do.
