Secret Site Agent

No,no and thrice no. When did they know for sure he was leaving, 100 %? - yesterday Who would commit to leaving their job before knowing they had another one? - no one. Ponch didn't hand in his notice 2 weeks ago and wait for Spurs to give him a new one. What does the new season start - on monday? No , on the 16th August, in 2 1/2 months time Is there a perspective manager at the World Cup that could do a job for us? - Wh knows Is there a manager at the moment that could do a job for us that would commit now there is a position open? - Who knows Have we been actively looking for a new manager? - Probably not as we had one Are we now? - Probably as we don't have one Would an experience business person out of their depth in a field they know nothing about waste money making mistake after mistake? - Not bloody likely So, what would said business person out of their depth in a field they know nothing about do, then? - Buy in the expertise, and more expertise, and listen to those that know, weigh up their advice and process in a business like manner. What would said business person say to their stakeholder if accused of a lack of communication in this situation say? - You knew, via the website, what had happened BEFORE the press, the pundits, those that proclaim to be in the know, before the fans of Spurs, before the radio, before the websites, before Twitter and before Jack Cobley's uncle Tom. AND Before Dave Paech and MLT. AND Before Cortese. AND after he handed in his notice, and before he posted on the website and twitter. Apart from that, how much openess do you want. What would said business person say to their stakeholder today, in a way of openess? - We are looking for a new manager. And tomorrow - We are looking for a new manager And on Friady? - We are looking for a new manager And on Saturday? - We are looking for a new manager Any comment on Sunday? - No, it's a day of rest. What about Monday? - We are looking for a new manager. And Katey, the tea lady is having cakes in the staff room at dinnertime to celebrate her 50th Birthday. What about Tuesday 3rd June? - We are looking for a new manager, and we are arranging a Birthday celebration for Victor Wanyama and will fly it out to him for the 25th june. No Yaya mistakes here. What would said business person say to their stakeholder if asked,How long will you be looking for a new maanger? - How long is a peice of string? Until we get one. Are there any applicants at the moment? - Who knows. Perhaps they should put an advert in the Echo, or go to an agency, to hurry it up. Or perhaps they should take a bit of time, find a few that fit in with us, get some feedback, ask them in for an interview if interested, find the right person and appoint them. Vote of no confidence? They are a business, and will go about all this in a business like manner, like all German/Swiss business do, and will look to have someone in place when they can. I have confidence in them. You can't keep someone here against their will, and if you did, what sort of job would they do? And that goes for ALL the players of the team.

Well, we all knew this was coming. Thanks MOPO, good luck, and thanks for all you have done. Onwards and upwards, (hopefully)

Clyne......to Man U......for 99 million. Deal.

Did anybody listen? What did he say?

I just shake my head at the hypocrisy

Excuse me for asking but.........Isn't half of 45 22 1/2 NOT 30? Odd Anyway, I know they are a revenue stream that funds the programme, but i'm more than a little annoyed at the amount and length of adverts these days. You turn over the channel at 15 min passed the hour and nealy all of the channels have add breaks. And for a good 5 to 7 minutes as well.

Yes I like that Idea. Suarez to Saints for 60 million Hazard to saints for 45 million

I think it has been said above and I agree with it. i think she has our best interest at heart, but will always loook to apply a decent business model to it though, i.e. we must be sustainable and have sustainable growth. She could spend 60 million now to bring in the best and the brightest but if they don't act as a cohesive unit, for whatever reason, (look at United) that is not sustainable, even with the financial fair play rules. And one other thing, and this is just a guess. If we love our parents sometimes we feel compelled after they have gone to fulfill their wishes for them as a tribute. This is quite a strong driver as well. I think we are in good safe hands for now.

Does Jon Snow represent Luke Shaw? Bastard son who thrives at the wall?

Sorry, Baz. Heavy day and all. Come here and give us a kiss.

Are your pubes ginger too? And when you are in bed with an erection, does it look like a rocket taking off?

That there is not enough laughter in the world. People have to look at the world with better eyes than that. Should you not? do you not? And remember, for my backgound I also held the Queens commision. Humour and Football, the great levellers.

Yes, as the Irish catholic son of an Irish father and an English protestant mother who started life on Ballymurphy Road, Belfast and who's first school was Saint Aidens Christian Brothers primary school, I stand by my humourous comment. If it's good enough for Dave Allen, it's good eneough for me. Sectarianism??????I ask ya. Goatboy, you can put your back. Doughnut. If you can't see the humour in the world, at least know that I love you.

I can see it all now: In the office at St. Marys 'ring ring' MOPO: Hello Southampton football club Rodgers: Cin I speak ta Mauricio Pochettino, Plese. MOPO: Good morning Old bean, how the devil are you. This is MOPO speaking. Rodgers: I thought you couldn't speak English MOPO: Looks who's talking. Nope It's definatly moi, old fruit. How can I be of assistance? Rodgers:Well, This is Brendan Rodgers. I would like to Buy Adam Lallananananana MOPO:OKaaaaaay. And how much recompense do you believe is the correct amount to be tendered for said individual. Rodgers: Eh? MOPO: How much. Rodgers:15 million MOPO: And how soom Rodgers:Before the world cup MOPO: And why before then? Rodgers:Because his value will go up. MOPO: to how much? Rodgers: About 50 million. MOPO: Well sink me. If ya didn't just blow it again. Rodgers:****. First the Premiership title, now this deal. MOPO: I think, and you'll forgive my ponounciation, but (CENSORED DUE TO THE CRYING GAME). Now if you'll excuse one, One has soem elecution lessons to give the less fortunate. Rodgers:What about Luke Shaw?Hello,hello, is anyone there?

2007- 1 blonde white girl kidnapped in Portugal. - Worldwide search involving Portuguese and British police, Interpol and the FBI launched. - Multi million pound foundation set up along with the offer of a multi million pound reward. 2014- 230 plus black girls kidnapped in Nigeria Says it all really.

Oh FFS, pal. please don't worry about it. we are a staedy ship at the moment thanks to the shrewdness of Cortese et al. We do not need to sell, it's business as usual and we don't have nay big debts. rest your head my friend, there is nothing to worry about at this time that would cause us to have a fire sale.

I suggested that, on a Lawro thread. We should ahve a sticky for all of the paper talk, then laugh at them after 6 months when it proves to be crap. Utter, utter churnalism at it's worst, with just speculative dribble dragged out and then re-reported in all the other media over the next few days so it seems that'if it is in all the papers it must be true'. Grrrrr.

Probabloy because it is what they have been instructed to say, from their PR company. My 60 boys on site have all been told to say,'I know what you are saying, the Barrier will not be finished until 2020, if the piles were not there your hpouse would ahve ended up in the river, please call this man and he will explain it all.' it's all about control, control of the message, control of the media, and control of the fans perception. luke will only go when there is benefits to all parties, and not before. we are in a strong enough position to tell all the big boys to 'fargov' like Cortese used to do on a regular basis. And if luke wants to go, fine, he's on a contract and he can experience the 'jason puncheon experience', i.e. Not playing, training with the trainees, and not getting to show his wares on national TV. Although I think he is a bit more sensible than that.

Probably because they though, '****, we got caught in the lie, lets quickly pretend we are looking elsewhare and deny all knowledge'

The one thing that the Telegraph columns highlights is it's not just us who have made a bit of a boo boo buying badley. Ossie has talent, he just doen't fit in and probably never will. Shame and all that, but he needs to go and we need to capitalise on what we can get for him. The problem is that we assume that so and so is great or that so and so is ****. But lets put it this way. JAY RODRIGUEZ IS ****. HE MUST BE LOOK AT THE ONE PERFORMANCE FOR ENGLAND. In the right team and with time to settle and find your way, you and your team mates get used to how you play and where you fit in. I have always said that you take the best in the world, outside of the saints team, stick them all together and get them to play on day one against us and those that scream, 'we'll get slaughtered' might be in for a suprise. A team doen't consist of 11 individuals, it consist of 11 people working together to a common goal. and 11 workingn together can beat a world 11 individuals anyday no matter how talented. I know this is a bit of basic science, as there would ahve to be a certain level of competents, etc, but my point is that individuals don't make a team, and the more talented can be enhanced by those around them.

Very enjoyable, and no matter if it was OG's, they had to be under pressure for this. Well done,and fair play to all. Equalled 52, and can still beat it.

I'm going through it at wok at the moment with a local rag and the EA. The story is that sheet piling in a river cause a flood wall to collapse causing houses to flood. The facts are: The height of the flood was the highest ever and higher than the top of the flood defences. No one could have predicted the height. The piles are being put in as the old ones were failing. There is vibration associated with sheet pile installation. They bolster the story with two pictures, one of the 'Piling Machine' and another of 'the flood wall collapsed'.................except the picture of the 'Piling Machine' shows a long reach 360 deg excavator, the second shows a perfectly good floodwall and no collapse. Their two sources were not present when the flood happen and don't live in the area, but know all about it. Where as my view don't count as I was there up to my knees in flood water putting sandbags in front of peoples houses. The truth of the matter is that if the piles weren't there, their soaken houses would have fallen into the river. A quick fact check on their statement reveals that there is, in fact, two o's in flood. The rest needs to be checked more. They don't let the facts get in the way of a story as they don't have the time to check these days.

What the devil are you on about man? This would only be a 'False Flag' operation if someone claiming to be from Arsenal approaching and speaking to us, (as we like Arsenal) but actually being from Manure.

A good statement of fact, would have been nice a little bit earlier, but sometimes you need to check the facts before passing them off. It's good to hear.

Thanks Bearsy
