    Brilliant timing to catch the bloke on the left dropping one at such a crucial moment.
  3. BigWalrus
    He's talking about having Remy, Tiote, Coloccini and Debuchy back after we play Spurs.
  4. BigWalrus
    Not enough to make him a world beater, but considering we'd just been promoted, its a decent start.
  5. BigWalrus
    It was simple. Basic of £70k. £200k bonus per position in the league starting from 17th.

    It's just I too know several people who have seen his contract. Several clauses were mentioned but not that one...
  7. BigWalrus
    So you've seen his contract have you?

    Have you really just compared buying a football club with buying a car? In reality, buying a football club is much like making love to a beautiful woman...

    He's managed us to four successive seasons in the PL, a 5th place finish and Europa campaign. He's not the greatest manager in the world, but he's decent. We could do better, we could do worse.
  10. BigWalrus
    Can you prove that one?
  11. BigWalrus
    Have you all been wolfy-ed?

    Why do I feel sorry for him? He comes across as a reasonably decent bloke and has proven to be a decent football coach. Regardless of how you rate him as manager and any knee-jerk reaction to the defeat at the weekend, the interview came across as someone who was doing his utmost to remain professional despite clearly being upset at having his team dismantled during the window without any suitable replacements being brought in. All of which was outside of his control. I wonder what it is that keeps him in his job - I think I would have walked by now.
  13. BigWalrus
    Who knows? Realistically, you're going to need a replacement billionaire to buy him out - in which case I'd imagine he wouldn't want to make a loss on what he paid.

    Realistically, Ashley would probably happily sell for £100m but would leave his loans on the balance sheet, meaning any new owners would need to pay £5-6m per year in interest to Ashley. To buy the club outright and clear the loans, he'd likely want to recoup what he paid, meaning £200m+. That's never going to happen in the current football climate.

    (going from memory) £134m to Shepherd and Hall to buy the shares. He then paid off £100m of debt relating to a mortgage on the stadium with Barclays and the overdraft (saving around £6.5m interest each year). When we were relegated, he increased the loan by £40m to £140m and has been gradually taking repayments to reduce it back down towards the initial spend. The accounts aren't out yet so we don't know what the current loan balance stands at, but I'd imagine it's still over £100m. Effectively, he's massively out of pocket as things stand.
  16. BigWalrus
    From memory, the last set of accounts included a note to say that he planned to pay himself back £18m this season, but I think that plan may have been abandoned. Regardless, the accounts should be out soon enough, then we can see how much his loans are valued at.
  17. BigWalrus
    Can't help but feel a bit sorry for him.

    I moved firms during my training contract (I'd done the last exam but not received the results yet). Got hit with a £2k charge that my next firm covered. That itself was repayable in various degrees to the new firm if I left within 2 years. Now I pay out £330 for bollocks all. I get access to £160 courses on how to create a pivot table and that pretty much sums it up.
  19. BigWalrus
    I almost hope they don't bother. There's not much they could say that would help, is there? Would be interesting to have a Q&A with Joe Kinnear in the centre circle before the Spurs game, mind.
  20. BigWalrus
    Especially considering the weather. It was mindless to even consider long balls with the wind.
  21. BigWalrus
    Aye, considering we were superb in the first half at Norwich with virtually the same team. They were so bereft of confidence or any sort of tactical organisation. At least we've got a couple of easy games coming up...
  22. BigWalrus
    At least Tiote didn't hide. Anita was completely and utterly anonymous, save for popping up to give them a penalty.
  23. BigWalrus
    Why we do routinely save our worst performance for this fixture? Of all the bloody games.
  24. BigWalrus
    Pretty much sums up how well the transfer window went. Appalling.
  25. BigWalrus
    Could he be doing it deliberately to make a point to JK and MA?
