    So Sullivan probably looked at some fans forum and decided to bin Moyes ? If that's how he is going to run things its not wonder we end up in such a mess. I just hope Rafa thinks he owes us something after last time and joins up and Dave put his hand in his pocket to fund things

    No, Moyes looked at West Ham, said he didn't like the way the board discussed anything and everything with the media and told the board he'd only stay if they stopped. He also wanted the board to stop meddling in transfers and had a few things to say about the training facilities.

    Gold was okay with it, Sullivan wasn't and Moyes walked away.

    Sullivan is now using the fans as an excuse.

    NB this what I imagine to be the situation and may or may not bear any resemblance to reality

    So should all be sorted by next week nothing to worry about move along please ;wahoo

    So does that mean if the deadline comes and goes without a new manager being in place we will move forward without one and Sully will add the one thing he so far hasn't tried to do and that is coach the team.

    He won`t be coaching the team, he`s a specialist remember. Hart was the best keeper he`s ever worked with.

    Just looking at the betting as can (not always) be a decent indication as these companies are risking money by pricing it up. Pelegrini fav followed by Forsecca but the anomaly is Rafa as Ladbrokes are 6-1 but Hills 6-4 which is a massive difference, and would indicate one or the other is either very confident in their inside info of one has received a lumpy bet causing them to shorten significantly.

    FYI Russel Brand is 1000-1 if anyone s interested, along with Ray Winston

    I'm more concerned that Jo Brand is only 500/1 ;nonono

    The stalling tactic in full motion now that the window is open.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    One window is open.

    The other window is shut.

    Is this earlier than normal?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Yes - because it is closing (for us) before the PL season starts.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    mike

    I think so, although it is a moveable feast.

    The PL handbook actually allows for the window to be opened any time after the last day of the season.

    I think that there is a FIFA/UEFA rule that all summer windows have to be open for a minimum period (12 weeks?) so with the early closing, they would need to fit in with that.

    So, 3 and a half weeks once the World Cup is over to do most of the business. Easy!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So you're expecting World Cup superstars to be signed by us?
  • AdamAdam
    Yes. I’ve heard Panama have some fantastic players...

    Hats off to them ;thumbsup

  • AdamAdam
    But my serious answer is quite possibly. There’s a small chance Dendoncker will go to the World Cup (we’ll know on Monday). And we’re not talking about superstars from Spain and France. Remember we bought Reid after the World Cup? It’s not as if we don’t have lots of internationals ourselves.
  • AdamAdam
    MrsGrey, you deserve a ;fishslap

    Note: this sentence actually reads you deserve a fishslap ;lol I never knew that was the name behind that emoji! I assumed it would be homerun or something like that.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Adam, wanna bet that if they win a game some paper will have it on their front page?

    Then I can sue for plagiarism ;biggrin
  • mikemike
    Could Claudio Ranieri be another name in the hat after being sacked by nantes ;hmm

    I hope not, mike.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I thought he was taking the Italian job. ;hmm

    I think he would relegate us

    Mind you, I said exactly the same thing as he was about to join Leicester ;whistle
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Adam you’re mentioning player(s) that the new manager may have no interest in.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Correction.
    Mancini has taken the Italian job.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Oh, so it's the manager who buys the players ;run
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    At West Ham, the manager chooses the players who end up doing well. Sully chooses the players who end up tanking. I thought everybody knew that??...
