The age worries me like, what happens if he croaks it in a year or so? Some widow keeps us on? I doubt it? some son comes along and decides its now his plaything? This is the problem I see with individuals owning us, they arent around forever and sometime it has to change. Knowing our luck we'll no sooner get settled and be looking good when he drops down dead and we're in limbo again. Still, its a chance we have to take.

Maybe hes a jinx, so if history repeats itself they'll sign him, a little later be taken over by the owner of Aldi who will sack Ferguson, bring in the ghost of George Best to manage them only to fuck him over by having Bill Shankly oversee all transfers. Voila relegation and oblivion. dry.gif You can but hope.

Back slightly on topic, the Strand Palace hotel do a carvery on an evening, £15 I think for two courses. Food that a picky person would like, enough food for a fatty (or two ) and right spot on in theatre town.

Hes bought em and hes dropped em.... fish chips n gravel

hmmmmmmm I sense a slight problem here

I know what you mean, even though I see the moneys coming out the bank and I have a card in my mitts somehow I get the feeling that it wont work come August

Shit, I regularly have both

how many of you have renewed?

Eggfookinsactly. They opened the data room a fortnight ago and the next day were excitedly talking about two bids being in, every day we hear about how its progressing and the two bidders are going through the motions. Now we're back at stage two.

Count yourself lucky, I have to go to Hudedersfield this week followed by two nights in Tonbridge fucking Wells the week after. Excitement overload!!!!!!

I always thought that he (tooJ) was you?

You know as an Arsenal fan you'd think you'd have more fun down the road with the Spuds.

The fact of the matter is that we are currently rudderless and sinking fast. The word according to Llambias is that those who are pushing ahead with the purchase want him so if Llambias is to be believed then theres no problem there. If there are no buyers then this club needs a manager regardless and one which can handle the job. Having Shearer installed can only be a good thing when trying to sell the club rather than saying "look at us, we're failing miserably and we have Joe Kinnear in charge". So again, win win. Fact of the matter is, we cannot and should not continue on blindly believing that a takeover will happen tomorrow and a competent manager installed the day after. It needs doing now, it doesnt have to be Shearer but thats who the majority of fans are happy to see in the job, its who most of us believe has a realistic chance of getting us out of this shithole that we currently sit in. More importantly he has the name and the backing of fans to ensure that Season tickets get sold, shirts purchased and the future looks tempting to someone looking to buy.

Especially this fella.

Shit, Ive hit rock bottom. Shints is recycling my jokes

How come La Toya doesnt get a mention,shes obviously pegged it as well.

He hasn't walked out of the club, he's walked out of impossible situations. Not an impossible situation at all, hes walked on us the fans, and the club twice am not gonna go on too much about why hes walked out because, but the manner in which he left in and where he left the club has been disgraceful specially the second time. You want another crack at that post without the aid of alcohol?

I would object. Could think of a lot worse managerial signings and hes a thousand times ahead of Kinnear ffs but at the same time, we need sense, stability, tactical nous and long term planning. Keegan, as fabulous a man as he is just doesnt tick all the boxes. Plus of couse he'd bring Terry Mac back after its taken us 15 years to get rid of the fucker

Like Alex said its not revolutionary thinking. Ashley gets the brunt of the blame because thats where the shit lies, its the same as managers getting sacked for the team performing badly, ultimately they carry the can. In the same way Ashley (for the reasons Alex laid out) is to blame for the mess. Anyone with a modicum of sense could see where we were heading months ago and knew what we had to do to get out of it. Ashleys attempts to make money in such an important transfer window ultimately caused our downfall. You could argue that Llambriiiiiini was the one who actually blocked the purchase of players but it was on Ashleys orders. If Llambsarse had gone against Ashleys view and sold Given and Milner then again Ashely should have booted him into touch and employed someone with a clue. Ultimately though, its all down to one simple decision way back when. Ashley decided to employ Wise, Llalalalalbamba, Jimminez and that other fucker whos name escapes me. A group of blokes who all enjoy a pint together but cant run a football club for toffee, those employments caused the near (still to be avoided) death of this football club. Those employments were made by Ashley and therefore his fault.

The reason we didnt sell Xisco in January wasnt it? Although like you say "play" is a very loose term where most of our lot are concerned.

How long have they been moving ahead? I'm still wondering whether Llambias has begun to consider relegation from the Premier League might be a possibility yet Not if you read the small print on your ST renewal he hasnt, Premier League gets a couple of mentions there.

Nah, he basically put all the emphasis on the new people (in a vain attempt to get ST sales going!). I think what he said was "if the new people want him then something could be done to make it happen" more than likely that means "if the new people want him then they can pay us £20m upfront and we'll put him in as manager until they take over." or something equally as unrealistic.

Am I the only one that sees that as extremely bad planning? No players from the club available to attend the game, no directors, manager (whatever the fuck one of them is!) to show their face, sit with Bobby or provide possibly much needed help? Fans now torn between following the club they love or attending a charity match. Planning? pah whats that?
