Crucial criteria for any club to be called big nowdays is 1. An agressive marketing strategy 2. Widespead TV coverage

Can vouch for GZ hes a top bloke -hes been on the forum since the very early years like MikCFC, Cara, Lampards Bitch, Yougs, Stamford, etc Hes a serious drinker, liks his films, serious when it matters, but also great sense of humour....

I think the only manager worth their salt is one that the players respect, will play for, and perform to their best. That normally precludes someone who hasnt played themselves. Exceptions would be Mourinho, and the players playing for themselves after Mourinho left, and we were left with the sack of spuds putting out cones. Hiddink definitely falls into the respect category -and I think he will return shortly , followed by success for the club at last in the CL

I never called him that. Peroxide Tranny, maybe. People shouldnt overestimate the importance of a coach - as JT said, even under Mourinho, once you get on the pitch, the manager is mostly irrelevant for 90 minutes.....

The site used to go down quite a lot 5 or 6 years ago and would stay down for days. It was fixed at the weekend very quick , so I would vote for Jim....

*cough* you're the only candidate Mr Blue.:tophat:

''There are some problems in our house, but we as a family will sort it out'' (LDN Blatter)

''Then they became sad and left'' That is fucking hilarious if true. :goodpost: Even funnier if Beckham had agreed to give the Falklands back, because he didnt know what they were

Emanalo was brought in because Grant recommended him from Tel Aviv. He looks decidedly bored during games, hardly bothering to watch, and I have doubts as to his usefulness, the club probably needs him like a fish needs a bicycle. However I do not beleive he made those Goal.com comments -if he did his days are numbered.

Dont usually bother with these transfer threads as it's mostly just a mix of tabloid fiction and fantasy football wishlists...however --think this one will happen in a week or two, when the lads done his GCSEs

Theres no difference to the loan system deal apart from it gives the initial club the economic advantage of buying the player back, as United are doing with Rossi As far as perception is concerned, or 'reputation damage', when have Chelsea or any other club been concerned about that ? People need to get their heads round the idea that football is a business, and theres no room for sentimenatlity about 'youth development'. Its not a fucking youth employment scheme. All the board care about is trophies and expanding the brand.

Wouldnt bank on it. The way this clubs been run for the forty odd years I've been supporting, it wouldnt surprise me if theyre randomly approaching people.

Hopefully things will slowly start to change at the Federation of International Football Associations, and their Swiss Bank accounts with hundreds of millions of Euros can be used for grass roots football projects through out the globe....

If its all in black and white and the player is aware that he may return after a year or two years due to Chelsea having a first buy back option, its a good deal -if all parties are happy. As you say Real Madrid and Spanish teams use it all the time....

Welcome Jason -and agree about Lukaku aka Heskey

Blatters has always hid his middle name his full name is; Joseph Sepp :541: Bellend Blatter FACT OF THE DAY

Lol Good way to make shed loads of cash. Theres something fundamentally wrong when Blatter is now the only one standing. All the national football federations are frightened to say anything as they get trickle down FIFA cash. So why rock the boat ? Its completely wrong though, if we take the last World Cup for instance -South Africans sweated their bollocks off to build and prepare for it, the stadiums and infrastructure -an they all paid tax. FIFA make millions and millions from the advertising, Coke, McDonalds etc and tickets -yet their astronomical profits are completely tax free! They have at least $600 million in petty cash lying in a Swiss Bank account -wouldnt this be put to better use encouraging and developing grass roots football ????

Yes it did look childish LDN agree -and our bid looked embarassing all the way with sqeaky voiced Beckham, two braincells shearer, and a parasite 'royal'. How do you get a job in FIFA, seems like a good way to make money.?

Asking whether Russia bribed though, is like asking 'does the Pope wear a funny hat ' ?

Brilliant day -will go next year - Some big bellies floppin about kenny Sansom was about 8 months pregnant and Galvin was carrying triplets. Hasselbaink, Nevin, Zola & Walker all in the same team -brilliant -would have been good to see Speedie or Osgood

Worked out pretty well for the racist, sexist, homophobe -another 4 years Warner has stated that Blatter bunged him £1M for his own federation to sweeten a deal Blatter wanted through, though -still feel this could lead somewhere...

You said betting had been stopped. It clearly hasnt. Fourteen Bookmakers There are two sides to this thread, who do you want to be next manager/and are there any clues. Apart from bookmakers odds there is very little else.

Joe Allon

Closed the odds ? There are fourteen bookies with odds at least, here in England, none of them have closed at all. Betting patterns are as good a clue as anything so I prefer those to crystal balls.

I know ! not a lot of leg ends to be honest. Sadly quite a few passed away as well. Johnny Vaughn as Asst Manager ?? Oh well I expect it will Tomo. Gourlay dont miss a trick
