The transfer rumour thread

Please excuse my name dropping ( again ). I used to be good mates and lived next door to Barry Cowell, son of Bobby Cowell the FA Cup winning fullback. He told me the story of when Joe Harvey ceased to become manager and worked as a scout for Gordon Lee. Old Joe Harvey had been tracking Alan Hansen and suggested to Gordon Lee that he should take a look at young Hansen. On the drive back from Scotland Joe said to Gordon Lee " what do you think ?"
Gordon Lee said " I've never signed a Scotsman and never will "
Apparently Joe gave his rather forthright opinion of Hansen and Gordon Lee and that was that.

 

Wonder how Joe would have managed today’s overpaid millionaire prima donnas. Actually, I guess I know the answer to that.

 

Probably done the original Joey Barton and stubbed an untipped " Woodbine " straight in the eye. Then made the offender dubbin the ball and played them centre forward on Saturday.
The outcome being a hattrick from Ron McGarry, two from Willie Penman and a right good p!ss up for all and sundry on the Saturday night.
Eeeehhhh....them were the days.

 

And still have some change from a florin.

 

I remember being able to go out with a ten bob note, having 5 pints, ten tabs and a bag of chips.

 

Chippy still does.

 

.....

 

Ideal imo

 

Somoure off to Leicester

 

We'll probably get that clown with the afro from them

 

Aye he's ****... Bruce would love him

 

Business as usual

 

Must be ****e is he?

 

I've never hesrd of him, but it doesn't sound like a player the Saudis would be after

I have a bad feeling we've got a other year of Bruce

 

I think he was good on football manager about 10 years ago when he was at Chelsea. Think he went to Fulham then disappeared

 

Jesus he must be ****

 

He has a girls name too, I'm out

 

Then they invented CCTV

 

Business as usual
