Perhaps they decided much earlier about the players they wanted to keep and those that they were prepared to let go???

Not just the new players but the management team as well. As they say, Rome wasnt bulit in a day and Koeman has a massive task in rebuilding the club. Never agreed with the stupid transfer window system but we are stuck with it and it will take a few before he gets things as he wants I would imagine. You just know that if Tottenham get off to a flying start and we splutter the Board will get all kinds of flak for employing Ron. He, and the team, need time.

When you say office Alps, should that be "ward?"

Very sad. Just watched him last night in Night at the Museum. He was a very verstaile actor and great comedian. Mental illness sucks and clearly affects many entertainers. Owen Wilson tried to take his own life too. I mention that because he was in the same movie last night. RIP. Great loss.

Whoever gets the no 1 shirt it is down to the manager and coaching staff. It is excellent that we now have two decent keepers as you cant mess around with that position. I am sure they will both be professional. The top teams all have at least two quality keepers. It shows that the Board are serious about the squad doesnt it?

It seems like Ronald Koeman, his brother and dozens of other people are though.

Depends on who is doing the swallowing Whitey!

I thought we signed Osvaldo as Pochettino had worked with him before?

I was right at the front and just before the wall collapsed I ended up on the side of the pitch as the crush was so great. A WPC tried to get me back in but it was to compact and at that point the wall gave way. Scary! I ended up walkiing off the pitch with the players. Happy days.

Dude, the point was to let go. I have, have you?

Charlie, just wondering. Do you have any friends, tv or some books? It is just that you seem to spend a great deal of time on here?

Charlie please note!

Spot on mate

Was dragged off to see Michael Bolton by my partner once. He wasnt as awful as I'd thought he would be and pleased to say the mullet was gone too. Interpol - excellent band!

I should add that we gained promotion to the Premiership under the ownership of Katharina and have been there for 2 seasons. Not bad for a novice eh?

Yeah, a real shame. Remind me again about how much experience Nicola Cortese had in football before joinging us please (and Markus in owning a football club for that matter).

Katharina, do you know how much business acumen she has? Just because she inherited the business does not mean to say she doesnt know how to run it. Ralph - clearly knows his stuff and has been brought in the run the commercial side. Hofstetter - the "fans" have been calling fr transparity for ages (something we didnt have under NC by the way) so he makes statement. Shoot him Reed - been here a while and as part of a successful team has clearly earnt his spurs. Koeman - not a Board member but brought in by the Board to succeed someone who didnt want to be here. I suspect they speak to him quite a lot about football matters. I have more faith in these people than I do a bunch of whining jumped up cyber jockies who feel quite happy to make profund statements on nothing more than conjecture. My judgement of the Board is based on the fact that they know what is happening whereas all you are doing is guessing.

How many games have you seen him at CH?
