I would imagine the rational was that, without the pace and inventiveness of Mane, we look a side who has great difficulty creating opportunities and scoring goals and that Mane is a player who could well be attracting interest from Man U in the January window.

Funny how things change so quickly, it was only a couple of seasons ago that the press kept banging on about Hodgson's 'season ticket at St Mary's' now we just have Bertrand as the token Englishman while Uncle Woy sets up shop at WHL keeping an eye on Walker, Dier, Alli, Mason and Kane.

The sad thing is, he's actually serious. He was an Ugly Inside Legend before his meltdown.

Given the fact that UTS has been banned a large number of times from here I would have thought the mods would do the same with his latest id. Years back one of the mods on here told me that there was a 'legal situation' going on with him and the Forum! The story behind that would be very entertaining I'm sure! Maybe they should share with us!

Bring back Mike Osman! Actually, don't.

I think we may be over estimating Les's influence. Cortese made all the decisions when he was here in true dictator style. Reed's remit was pretty small. Now it appears that Koeman Bros are making all the important decisions. Who do you think was the reason for Pelle, Van Dijk, Tadic, Steklenburg, Claise, etc coming? Koeman or Reed?

An obsession with David Bick and use of 'Clotese', it's you isn't it UTS!!!! How the devil are you? Didn't realise you were back posting on here, I thought you just stuck to Twitter now after that unfortunate incident on TUI which led to your demise over there.

Why are you referring to him by his race? Seems somewhat Xenophobic.... Pochettino will have been there as Spurs are playing Villa next. It is common practice for managers\coaches to be let into games that future opponents play. if we barred Spurs then they will do the same to us so who ends up winning? And then why stop at Spurs? Liverpool have taken a lot of players from us recently so they would be on the list too. And Man U.......

Matt Patterson v2.0.

Kelvin Davis?

We've not done well targeting the clubs to loan players too. Gallagher is nowhere near Championship level so it's pointless sending him to MK he should be at a L1 or even L2 club. Likewise, Stevens is not up to a top promotion chasing Championship team he should have either gone back to L1 or to a mid-table level Championship team.

High flying lol!

I'll bump it.

Last March we posted a £35m profit which didn't get a lot of attention from the media or fans as we were challenging for the top 4. The next set of figures will include the Summer where Lallana et al departed so I think the profits announced could be in excess of this (£50m+?) If we are in the midst of a relegation scrap I think this may well be a major stories in her majesty's gutter press. I wonder what sort of reaction the owners will get from the fans if this is the case?

Ecru?

Mane and Wanyama are next Summer's Clyne and Schnierderlin.

I'd go for the regal job offer if it comes with palaces and servants.

It obviously hasn't reached the colonies yet....

Lists her worth as c. £750m, not the £3bn figure that usually gets quoted.
