it's all gone quiet on the transfer ...

Plenty of time left for Lowe to knife us in the back from the apres-ski lounges in Davos........ -
Last time I looked, 2000000 > 0..............

Yep. No one who is sane would not consider Crouch to be better for than Lowe, on SO MANY LEVELS. Sort of blows a hole in NickG's winsome chirpy "get behind the team", "whats good for the club goes for me too" mentality..

question for anoraks - Wotte makes history

Is the consolation prize a picture of a train chuntering through some Northern Monkey town ? -

Sadly not. not much skiing going on at the moment, we've had tons of snow, and the avalanche warning is quite high.. Besides, Roopey strikes me as a Switzerland type of person.. -
Why would he have come to us then ?
-
I've been banging on about this for nearly 2 years - glad a few other people agree..
-
When's that going to happen then ? anytime soon ? they are both so shiit they cannot even get on the bench in a sqaud screaming for even a little bit of quality

Does that make it the worst starting 11 picked from the available squad ever too ?? Or does that honour till belong to Georgio Burlinho ?? -
I agree with you completely. He was really keen to join us, I reckon, and in my opinion he did the business in his first season, despite intermittent use by that idiot manager of the time. however, he was really piissed off by same said manager last season. I reckon he has played reasonably amongst the idiocy fielded this season... Why do people get on his back ? I can only think they feel somehow he has let down the #7 shirt. however, he has done better than Andreii Kanchelskis did, and I am not sure many players can fill the shoes of Keegan or Matty...

WTF has Strachan's record at Coventry go to do with the price of fish ? He hadnt participated in failure at SFC, Wotte already has. You are right about one thing; I knew Lowe's appoint of JP was going to go tits-up from the very beginning, and I was proved right. Why does that annoy you so ?
-
Was WGS a fresh-in manager, or the assistant coach in a failed management with a failed strategy pushed up to the role with "mixed feelings", do remind me.... And people like you who support the status quo, irrespective the personnel involved, are part of the problem, not the solution...
-
Yes.
-
Yep, agree. But he will be out on loan this weekend.......
-
I really pity you.
-
You just dont get it, do you ? Wotte was NOT a new manager, fresh in. He was the assitant in the regime that has been declared very publicly to not be working. He knows the players, the tactics, the restrictions under which JP was working, has been involved in match preparation and the post mortems after matches. He has also watched the season unfold. Therefore, his line-up tonight was unforgivable, and at half-time we got the same story we've had a dozen times this season. As far as I am concerned, if he f**ks the team selection up for Swansea, or plays only one up front against them, his fate is sealed.
-
Yep, no answer to the post, so resort to insults........
-
Gobsmacked at the lengths some people will go to to justify their support of Lowe. A choice between a striker that scores against Villareal and puts the wind up Manyoos defences, and someone who scores against Exeter, and just about has the lowest chance-to-goal ratio in the division...
-
Indeed, we will lose to Swansea, I fear..
-
Of course it is steve.... Please explain, therefore, why his starting line-up was so at odds with his pre-match comments about experienced players...
-
Sorry mate, dont know you from Adam, but I find it tragic that there are many people like you thinking that. Most other teams changing their manager win their first game, for heavens sake.....
-
I give credit where its due. Wotte threw the game away with shiite starting line-up. I am not going to toss off of over the fact that he managed to correct his very amateurish mistakes eventually. If he couldnt do that, it would be immediately apparent he is the wrong man for the job.
-
I know. We could play this game all night........

Oh, do grow up. And dont call me mush. It's Austrian slang for a woman's front-bottom.
