aye they did laddie, they did

in ma humble opinion, khan issnae great right now but he could be. Matchmaking issa name of the game. Some a yous must remember he's still a wee laddie, he needs time to grow. Roach is doing him proud the bonnie lad. He has come on beautifully in terms of pacing and physical maturity. That said I wouldnae put him in with mitchell yet. Kevin mitchell is a better fighter than him in ma humble opinion

aye well put laddie ive been arguing the same

Probably because Blanc has done a fantastic job at Bordeaux, turned them into a Championship contending/winning side... And the point about the far east i just don't understand at all, how would Keane make them more unpopular? In any case, whoever takes the job after SAF is going to have a very tough time. Blanc hasnt done anything special at bordeaux. Has he really done more than mcleish who is my favoured option. Bordeuax have always been a top 5 team in France , they have a huge tv company behind them, and before he started they were contending for the championship, they won it loads of times in the 80's, so theyre a big club. What big eck is doing at bham, although like blanc its early days looks more solid to me when paired with his takinae us to the knockout stages of tae champions league. I'll explain the "Far East bit" to yer. Me best mate at school has been working for a bank in Hong Kong and Singapore for 2 years now. He tells me the teams most loved are the man u's , the milans,arsenals, liverpools, the barcelonas and madrids. He tells me chelsea and morinho are still disliked due to mourinho's argumentative character and cheating at chelsea. Also your probably not aware but in his early days at Inter he went on a pre season tour to china, specifically designed to increase their marketability in the far east and at a press conference mourinho got into an argument with chinese journalist who asked him a starightforward question, next thing u know mourinho is havnae it out with the whole room of journos and walks out. Morrati was furious, the whole marketing exercise had been pointless. I went to malaysia in the summer and you see huge billboards of giggs advertising a swiss watch, or ronaldo advertising something , and man u and liverpool and madrid and barcelonas colours everywhere. Mourinho would be poison in terms of man u's style of football which dates back to the busby babes and is based on free flowing stylish and exciting football. In terms of marketability in the increasingly key far eastern markets, mourinho is seen as a cheat and charmless anti football figure. Keane similarly is not known for being able to deal well with the press and pressure, he kicked off in korea over training facilities at the world cup held in the far east. He got massively bad publicity and in a society where respect to elders is reverential he is disliked and sponsors hate him too. Like mourinho he would be poision to pr and marketing. Also he has shown himself to have very poor man management and he spent £60 million at sunderrland in 18 months and they were still shite.Shite manager. Whoever goes wont have that tough a time. They will inherit a great club with everything in place, squad, funds, back up team, etc etc. Similar to when dogsheetleish took over liverpool. It will take someone with keanes ability to fuck up to screw things up. Hope that gave you the help you needed pwrfc Thats your opinion i guess, however the season before Blanc took charge they came 6th, and a few seasons before that they were coming 12th, Blanc came in and gave them that extra edge which took them to 2nd and then the championship the following year, and also the champs league knockout stages this year, so not only has he made them a force in France but also in Europe. They may have won it in the 80s but St. Etienne have won it 10 times, and look where they are now, infact in Bordeuax got relegated the 90's due to financial reasons. The far east point - i cant argue with, i know these places are big on the media friendly types, and it seems logical that Keane (and Mourinho) would not be looked on to favourably. IMO, the man utd job after SAF leaves will be a handful for anyone because of the pressure they will be under to succeed, no top manager would walk into a job like man utd and do everything the exact way there predecessor did, they would want to mould the team into there own image.. and if they dont succeed straight away then there in hot water. Fair point mate and you could be right Blanc may be great as man utd manager. The press down south complain that the EPL is predictable but I dunnae think they appreciate how hard it was for ferguson to repel mourinho's chelsea and create his 4th great utd team. The top 4 may have been predictable but this season u got city, villa and fulham all capable of beating any top 4 team on theyre day. All that said when a new manager comes in they will as you say not have the luxury of going more than 1 season without the title and not expecting to be sacked

Well theres plenty of undercover timmys here who are ready to slander someone like yous who hassae bravery to stand and say what a lot of us are thinking.

aye! Andy townsend is another one coiled like a cobra ready to spring foward. worst pundits tho mcmenamin, peter reid (monkey face thai lady boy fucker extraordinaire), and ian wright i dunnae what it is, the scottish pundits just like the managers are the best

Do you just talk shite everywhere? Redknapp was a different class to McAllister IMO. Alan Cunt-on your such an idiot redknapp was better than mcallister!

you sounded a bit like chairman mao there laddie. Is that just your opinion or a audit from ibrox? Hateley came back. Doesnae that make him a cunt as well?

aye the wee man does a cracking scottish accent too. (manny i mean)

so what yae sayin bonnie lad, we should sign him back for £500,000?

very very overrated imo. Not really international quality only gottae in as it was a transitional time for their midfield. Old man mcallister showed him up too at club level. Injured show pony who got the breaks in football and punditry cos a who his fatha was.

Good article. This isn't the first time that Blanc's name has been mentioned for the job. However, James Richardson recently said that there has been some talk that he has a gentlemans agreement to join Inter Milan should Mourinho leave at the end of the season. And I think that with Van Gaal at Bayern Munich & Ferrera at Juventus jobs also hanging by a somehwat shoogly peg, I think Man Utd will have to act soon if they want Blanc. Whoever gets the task of replacing SAF has some job on their hands. Fergusons problem, apart from being a total cunt, is that his ego wont allow him to havae assistant in the limelight or his ex players by his side. Mark Hughes issa great manager and with the squad and facilities and transfer money ferguson leaves behind Hughes would do a great job, but obviously after city its no gonnae happen. Brian Kidd has been discarded along the way by Ferguson and fergie just isnt a character like walter smith who enjoys working with his ex players and moulding them.Or having a boot room live liverpool where sammy lee and dogsheetlish still play a part What makes these muppets think Blanc will do well at United? Would steve bruce, hughes or bryan robson do a worse job with the start they would have in the post ferguson era. Cantona and keane are joke suggestions. Keane is a gutless coward who would make utd more unpopular than Mourinho when it comes to the far east and merchandising etc. Davy moysey is a totally overrated cunt. Hes spent 50 million in the last 2 years and earns 17 million over 5 years yet he still plays the dour scot with nae any resources. Personally i think loads of guys could do a great job but Bryan Robson should have been part of the management set up years ago.

aye, its easily done

http://www.birminghammail.net/birmingham-s...97319-25534284/ Aye this time last year oneil added heskey tae drive the champions league charge and support agbonlahor and carew and this year in the same situation, he will sell both carew and heskey, to drive the hampions league charge , aye right.

if the damage issnae too bad get him in on a 12 month contract. By this time next year we'll have been booted out of champions league so he can go than if he turns out to be past it. One more fuck up wont make too much difference

aye he issnae 33 either more like 36-37. Same goes for Kanu. Happens sometimes with players born in Africa.Agents put their age down to increase their price when marketing them to clubs. Shut up. Its a fact. Shows what little u know and if you havent got anything to comment on the thread title dont come in spouting crap behind the safety of a keyboard.

I only just logged on and that was my first post of the morning. Were you on a stakeout rfc52, as you seemed to bolt over to this 18 month old thread the moment u saw I posted on it. There, there lad its okay.

"Sporting’s technical director Ricardo Sa Pinto has made it clear that his club cannot match his current salary demands, but the offer of a long-term deal on reduced terms may still be appealing to the player." why the fuck nae cant we get players to come here on "reduced terms" and still enjoy 50,000 crowds and the limelight and champions league football. Wasnt mendes a so called signing in troubled financial times? yet now he will go to Porto for less wages than he is on for us quite happily. Shows how we've consistently been arseholed by players and agents for years, mendes would have taken £10-£15,000 a week to play for us,so we give him £20 grand a week, yet someone like Boyd is taking home £9000 a week and kick up the arse by the pro celtic press every week Even darcheville was on way too much, and his time here set him up for life even tho he only started one game

aye i looked at tae post and thought, the bag of shite at newcastle? But ittsey 2 years old. Guttierez is inconsistent and only plays fur them when the tv cameras are on. He's a £3-4 million player now but he demands £30,000 in wages

The bastard sassanach press are licking mancini's arse right now but he isssnae that good a manager and he seems intent on buying any old washed up ex inter milan veteran unlike mark hughes who was trying to keep a string british core and keep some of the youngsters. I mean veron?! FFS, and now viera? I understand the defence needs shoring, so get rid of the shite hughes signed like lescott ,bridge and the homesgrown cunt richards aka the three stooges

He really isnnae that good. Being a brazilian international isnnae a big deal. There is a fast track system in place that any first division player or promising youngster will be given caps at some stag in order they can qualify for wirk permits in europe. There are a ton of "International"brazilians playing in places like greece, turkey and the middle east. Some would disagree and thats okay but nay, Carvalho issna my cup o tea

I was just gonnae post that link. I laughed and i cried haha fucking jokers. £1.5 million is about what those trio of cunts is worth. Strachan is being arseholed in the championship.

Doubt it mate , he is touching 32 this year is he not ? sorry 31 . would vlue him at 6-10m yeah he's a later developer and wouldnae sell for less than £8 million. One thing tho grafiti and dzeko are the kind of guys who once upon a time we would have been able to find when they were relatively unknown like wolfsburg did. Given our hostory in the transfer market in the last 15 years or so we would have still fucked up when selling them on so naff it

looks like strachan is being really imaginative and is gonnae try and put together a scottish premier league superteam to take on the championship. Mcgreedy,boyd,caldwell,mcdonald. All of its a shite manager , trying to save his skin, he's welcome to mcgeady and caldwell, championship is about their level, no chance with boydie he wouldnae go to them
