Really sad. Good keeper and seemed like a very nice bloke. Allegedly was too weak for the business and suffered from depression.

5/5 are you MAD? At least keep him till the end of the season. From bitter experience that's his good spell over for the year. His spell of fitness seems to be. Funny how KK seemed to have him sussed pretty soon after all the previous managers had persevered with him. Thank god we got JFK who could spot the talent and hand him a new contract instead...

You mean something horrible like this? Expect some new clothes coming with you next season ticket... Is it supposed to be a swasticka? No, it's the logo of German Telekom (T.com), the telephone company. Probably not a good picture, here is a better one:

The thread about it, the mention in another thread and the fact it's only the ground and not the club being renamed? Can you direct me to the post in the other thread when it was officially announced? I couldnt find it http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=689857

I don't find Luke's posts that bad, but that's a bit too much appraisal tbh.

Listened to the interview now. What a plonker. Telling us how he and Mike can't really enjoy going to the match anymore and how he used to struggle to get Ashley out of pubs pre-match. Eh? He's here since June last year and before the Keegan debacle there were three home games with two of them having been friendlies. Just more exercises in public relations... Keeping on lying.

Totally disagree. In all German stadiums I've been in the last couple of years, those new video screens have been just totally annoying, be it cubes like in Frankfurt or Schalke or 'normal' video screens like in every other stadium.

The new club secretary...

Or advertising, or employment law, or public relations...

Hustler @ St James' Park with porn as half time entertainment being shown on those new Jimbo screens

Did those poor Malaysians ever find the way out of it? Anyway, the Malaysian tourist board could probably be interested in buying the name rights: Malaysians@St James' Park Stadium

Honestly, who is advising these baffoons? This name is just ridiculous and just totally wrong for so many reasons. I am not sure how good the idea is to use the name of a brand as an example that now is even more likely to get boycoutted. Simpletons.

The quotes on .com say that we are only after players under 22 anyway with us already in talks with to 16 year olds from Ireland. That's probably the calibre we can attract to strengthen the team with paying peanuts.

I know it's repeating what myself and others have said but he made a crazy mistake last January when we were in the shit and, instead of investing to help make sure we stayed up, he made a profit iirc. And it would have been a bigger one if Barton hadn't got injured because that was the only reason Nolan was brought in. What's the chances of the same thing happening this coming January and promotion being jeopardised by another stupid gamble? Kinnear claimed he had £12m to spend leading up to that window too. Only to hunt players like Richardson at the last minute just to claim that they had tried. Now they are probably waiting to hear from these South American agents again...

Most of them will probably have a criminal record because of it though...

They mights just confiscate some cats though...

One thing I used to like when going to SJP was the lack of video screens. I find them absolutely awful. What are they good for? To show the score? Er, appart from those suffering of Alzheimer's anyone not knowing the actual score of a game shouldn't be in the stadium anyway. Team sheets etc. are also not really worth it. But especially with the new technology all those screens bring is causing eye pain by showing annoying blinking adverts all the time. For example here in Stuttgart they had them hanging just behind the goals so you hardly could focus on what is happening without getting distracted by the latest offers from insurance companies etc. Absolutely horrible idea.

I find it unlikely (given the club is now 'off the market') that Ashley's brilliant PR machine would choose to keep this information to themselves. Which transfers are you on about btw? They only do lies though...

? He was a Schalke fan... Just an off hand, slightly irrelevant comment about the consequences if we didn't win the war! Give it a rest and talk about gardening! Grow your own! It's a misconception though. The Nazis only used Schalke for propaganda reasons because of their success (which was just down to having the best players) and their status a working man's club. There was a brilliant response to this myth when it was published in the Times about a year ago: Now for Hitler and gardening... http://chi-simonk.blogspot.com/2007/10/hit...-gardening.html

What exactly did he so well? He was only head of the academy for about half a year.

He'll sit it out and then in about ten months time in the director's box of Peterborough he'll moan about the ungrateful fans who don't appreciate the income he has generated for the club...

They are probably banking on Ashley not selling for a very long time...

Media excercises... What seems to be right is that he did moan about the demands from Keegan and Shearer in the director's lounge after the game saying they wanted more than Scunthorpe's turnover or something like that (that's what Golfmag said on N-O who is quite often well informed IIRC). They also had to borrow him a tie...
