    Alese wasn't fit - the 6 months he spent out afterwards was proof of that
    Anderson isn't good enough - he's barely played for a struggling L1 team

    Are you honestly saying those 2 would have made a difference?

    I don't think he lost it, I just think he broke rule number one ...

    ... don't give the players easy excuses why they shouldn't perform.

    In a vital game we had one attempt on goal, that's not the fault of the defence.

    I’m saying neither of them could’ve been any worse than having a winger who’s about 5’6 playing in a back 3 against a long ball team who are going to constantly put balls into the box. Nor would Ekwah. What’s the point of having an academy if you can’t bring in one player in a situation like that?

    No, I don't think its right to say he lost it. I do think the relationship between him and the club wasn't right, for a variety of reasons, and that contributed to things going downhill.

    He had one tactic and when teams sussed it, he couldnt do anything, do you think he lost it against Boro? :)

    If we don't sign a new manager in the next 2 weeks, we will suffer the player snatch starting between agents and clubs who DO HAVE A MANAGER.
    We need it sorting now.

    It is sorted and we're already looking at signings, talking to agents and have fixed our budget ...

    ... everyone just needs to enjoy the bank holiday and relax.

    Not everything has to be broadcast all the time.

    We've got a director of football who can do all that though. And we won't have a manager when we do appoint one.

    There's some weird 'reality' that's been created where KLD wants to annoy the support, employ idiots and avoid the PL

    ... all of which is completely wrong, wtf do people think he's there for?

    What you on about? It's perfectly normally behaviour to spend millions on a football club in some far off corner of a foreign country just to piss off the locals. That's what I'm spending my bank holiday doing.

    <laugh>

    Reminds me of the time I bought a massive Corsican flag, stripped myself naked and rubbed it over my testicles in the main square on National Pride Day ...

    ... it had cost me £250, I was charged with disrespecting their flag and savagely beaten up by the locals.

    But I did get my name in the paper which made it all worthwhile :emoticon-0103-cool:

    People who get info are fans and get emotional, they come across factual whilst trying to maintain enough distance.

    It's either that or we get no info, so I'm content with people spreading around what they hear. There's a reason these lads have a good name, because they've heard good stuff before.

    I was a tad emotional myself yesterday regarding the Still to Norwich story from Fishpaste. One thing I forgot to think about is how much he truly revels in the chaos and infighting caused by his articles.

    I hope we get the lad over the line so we can get round to bedding in our Dutch 2nd division lads.
