your big chance to be ITK and you blew it

If the HNW fans sold up to just Robinson for example and he had over 60 percent of the shares would it be the case they could then to legally entitled to buy the whole?

Don't forget Garath. Barry as well

thank god your not on our transfer committee.

I hope she has her mothers looks, if she looks like her dad!!!

It will probably be Peter not Casper

ok thanks, hopefully my anti virus will sort it

thanks WC, if there is a sudden rush of departures and we get a second rate manager like mackay or one of the usual subjects i suggest the odds will drop sharply

Not at all, but it would be interesting to see how the odds change with the betting pundits who look at things in a less biased way. I stated that if MP goes we could be looking bottom 6 but not relegated a couple of days ago. of course if we got a decent manger my hopes would increase on that

Why do i want it both ways? i said if we sold players for 50m and then reinvested 25m I would be happy with that. i do not expect us to spend 25m without selling. Therefore i dont get your point sorry. I suggest MP would be sensible enough not to get the whole amount to spend, but assurances he can spend quite well

anyone know what our odds for being relegated are now? To the see the odds this time next week could be interesting. I dont think that we will get relegated at this time but depending on the manager and squad it could get interesting and very sad.

it didnt say about breaking promises it said about assurances about spending etc

Fair point but Im sure in the back of my mind there have been times. nothing recently. I dont worry anyway as most of it is tripe, praising the players, the fans etc etc

obviously not the case but if the board does not come up with the assurances and funds then they are at fault. How we can tell? either way its difficult but one way will be to see is how much they spend if the players are sold. The fact that the club knowing NC's success was causing the likelihood of approaches they should have pinned NC down sooner. To leave it in the air was similar to when Bally was left in limbo all those years ago.

but Mash as its his second language the reporters can easily twist his words, this way he has time to think about his answer. Anyway do managers really tell the truth? they normally put a positive side to it

people to my mind are not saying break the bank, but if we sell 2 players for £50 it would be ptretty fair to expect the board to back MP with half minimum. Iam used to selling our best players/my heroes since i saw Mick Channon all those years ago. I only ask that a fair amount is reinvested.

if he leaves then there is a pretty fair chance that is the case. Balligue who is a friend of MP has basically said it as well

because their ambition is less than his own, that the were not offering a better package, they were going back on their word about giving him say who should leave,etc

when h3e is gone you will miss be able to make sarky swipes. Forgetting that purchases are by committee not just the manager

did you watch the game last night? Wigan had no idea and seemed to me to just lump the ball in a hope that McLean could get onto it. Very disappinting

HR not for the first time got out of jail there.

it is a bit of trolling I would have thought

if they leave

It is just common sense and the other bits he has said since being here. He's not bullish about not selling but just replies like a politician. He knows if he says lovely things about the fans and tickles our tummies we will not shout as much if players leave. He is right other clubs are much richer and will swoop if they see a player they want. We need to be cute and get an auction going, if Liverpool swoop and get the deal done quickly it leaves less time for counter offers.

not in CBFrys eyes
