I don't even think any of the above were considered let alone sounded out... Me either. They all have far better CVs than Redknapp. Smokescreen imo. Unfortunately I fear that is the truth of the matter. Have to cast the net as wide as possible now and not run rush into anything. There really is no need to rush. This season is a complete write-off so lets just see it out.

amidst some good peformances too!

21 Grams. Naomi Watts' tits stole the show. One of the bonniest lasses going.

I like the cut of your jib. I could perhaps stomach it in that context, but the bit in bold is wrong. He's had the financial backing everywhere and to be honest both Fulham and City fans were grateful to have him at the club. Not idolised in anywhere approaching the same way as here, but he certainly wasnt being barracked.

I don't think Asley's getting a slating tbh. He's sacked a manager mid season with no replacement lined up. It's not great, but we're living with it. Hardly think Dan or I are laying it on with a trowel.

I was mortified (fnarr) the first time I saw that and I agree 100% with Dan. Whether he wants to be a fan or not, he has to realise he cannot be a fan in that sense. It would be prejudicial to everyone's interests as we need his business head on and nowt else. Hopefully that period will come to an end now as he's going to be forced to knuckle down on the managerial appointment. From that point on, everything at the club will have his hallmark (Jesus can't avoid the Chairman references we've had so many) and he'll be accountable for everything that happens, success or failure. Hopefully he's already seen that and has remembered that his business successes are associated with him wearing a suit. He's standing with the fans at the odd away game because when he felt forced to at the Sunderland game he enjoyed it, and he wants to keep enjoying it. I see nothing wrong with it. I understand the history behind it but I disagree with your conclusion. He needs to be distanced from that type of carry on and we need his cool business savvy. I just think it can only distract in the long run. You're kind of taking away from him the reason why he bought the club. We aren't just another company for him to make a profit from, he wants to be a fan foremost, and I sense not for the same reasons that Fat Fred kept proclaiming his fan status. If you take away the fun, why would he want the hassle? That's all well and good but really lets be honest if he wanted to be a fan he could just be a fan. Theres no need to buy a club (including it's mountainous debts) to do that, and of course once you've bought a club then you have to run the club, which again can't be much fun unless youre up for that sort of thing. All that to one side though, surely he can see that the only real way that following a team genuinely involves some fun is if it involves some degree of success. Whether he 'wants to be a fan' or not he's not so thick that he can't foresee it's going to involve a lot more aggro than fun if he doesnt bring success on the pitch, so I'd hope he'd realise that that has to be his only remit. If he brings success then he can stage dive into the Gallowgate from a helicopter for all I care and I'm sure he'd have the time of his life. He'll have a lot more fun if/when he's responsible for making everyone else's lives fun and for me the route to doing that is for him to put his suit on. He didn't buy it because he was a fan, he bought it to have fun, in the sense of getting us to play in the manner we are famous for. He knows everything you've stated up there, and is working on it in his own way. Forcing him to suit up if he doen't want to will only result in him getting pissed off and leaving. To be honest I think the 'getting us to play in the manner we are famous for' was just an opportunistic soundbite response in part justification of the sacking of Allardyce. I agree he's different to Shepherd and I don't think he's in it to turn a profit, but I still think his first aim has got to be (and indeed probably is) to win something. Thats how you have fun. The guy's not a mong. he'll know he'll sharp stop having fun if everyone on the 'terraces' is disillusioned with things.

Aye, well thats true enough like.

Fat Spanish waiter He's just a fat, Spanish waiter!

FYP Fucking right you've fixed the post an all. By far and away the best. He's been to two European Cup finals for starters, though it's debatable whether that would be enough to satiate the 'voracious demands of the Toon Army'. Particularly given our 'love affair with the FA Cup' In fact he could take us to three Euro finals and I'd have him out the door if he'd not delivered the FA Cup during that spell.

No. Please Kev, let's not spoil the memories. x

Can we appeal to the FA (for a longer ban)?

Probably had to duck to miss it, the streak of piss.

Jesus how weird is it nowadays reading a piece that's not completely pre-occupied with either a) ridiculing the club or (as per the more recent trend) blaming everything on the fans. McIlvanney has BSA's number spot on with that article for me. Could very easily see him 'doing a Bolton' with another club of a similar profile in the not too distant future, but it never did mean and never will mean that he necessarily had the right skill set for bringing this club on.

"Say what you see!"

half rice half chips.

I read one of those "rules for women" things ages ago which declared closing their eyes whilst having a load shot in their face to be a crime. I never shoot til I can see the whites of their eyes tbpfh. A mate of mine was receiving a bit of oral foreplay of his lass, when he got a bit over-excited and uttered the immortal line "Stop or I'll shoot!" Never lived it down tbh. Watching it like? Can't remember if it was him or her that told us Is she very butch or is he very effeminate?

It's just mad is all, I mean all this has all happened in the space of months. Rico is the product of a broken internet home. I honestly don't know if i'm coming or going now. You can't even fit all the Toon boards on one tabbed browsing session now if you were to load all of them. Toontastic is the only show in town tbf.

This board is a splinter group of a failed merger (with N-O) from a few years back. Nasty business. Mind those who were with toontastic before the merger have largely stayed with toontastic since the disintergration (and vice versa).
