This Charming Man

We could rival pretty much anyone financially, if we really wanted to but it's been stressed to us from day one that we're not going to operate that way. Would be nice to break the budget every now and then though. It needs to be done if we want to achieve NC 'dream'.

Wonder if we've sent him a copy of the ST Holder DVD?

Yes. I've learnt with Saints that to be pessimistic and always fear the worst is the best way. Then, when we experience the brief highs, they're so much more sweeter.

He's pulled out of the Uruguay squad who are playing France in Le Harve this evening. He could just hop on a ferry over here and sign the deal this afternoon...

Direct quotes in the Mail from his agent, story is from yesterday but could things really moved as fast as us having an offer accepted and presented our wage offer over night? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2188106/Gaston-Ramirez-rejects-Spurs-move.html?ito=feeds-newsxml I really can't see this happening. We can't out-muscle the likes of Spurs, Liverpool and Inter.

eBay is a nightmare for selling phones. I've sold a few on there in the past and don't even bother with it now. Last phone I sold I did collection only which obviously severely hampered the final selling price but was the only way to guarantee I wasn't dealing with a scammer.

Hmmm... Interesting. I would be very impressed if this did happen and would even cut back on my whining about lack of quality signings. Though I still can't see it happening, surely we can't outbid the likes of Inter and Spurs?

Who is he? He have much credibility? The Tweeter that is, not the player.

As Cortese proved with sacking Pardew, he's not afraid to make an unpopular decision. Would be too much of a risk to ensure we headed into the season with a weak squad, only to sack Adkins. If a new manager was to come in, he'd have to rely on signing loan players and that would go against Cortese' principles in what he's trying to do here.

Mancini has just signed a new 5 year deal, there's no way he's going anywhere unless they have a truly horrific season which I can't see happening. Hughes would be up there for me, never really done it as a manager, just living off his reputation as a player.

Scrap that, I want Burton as they have a terrace and supposed to have some quality boozers.

Invite only now. No mongs from the mongboards allowed.

Morecombe or Oxford away please. Almost nailed on to be MK Dons at home, we never get decent away draws in the cup.

I was referring to our business dealings in this transfer window and strengthening our side for Premiership survival.

Mine is 100% fact as the chairman tweeted about it after a Saints fan asked if we'd bid. Yours is probably made up.

Check on here mate. Compares all the sites available; http://www.sellmymobile.com/ Most put the money in your account within 3 days. I've used Cash 4 Phones and Envirofone in the past and both were quick. Make sure they send out a free envelope for you so you don't have to fork out for postage.

No idea. Don't even know if it's 100% true. Just something my boss said, claims he knows someone who works for Camelot. You know, one of those reliable mate of a mate sources.

Or £20m for a few newspaper articles, hassle for 6 months or so, then peace and quiet when everyone has got bored and moved on...

Apparently if you refuse to go public about your win, you have to give up 15% of your winnings.

If it was still running there would've been about 45 spaces for it. Our support is f*cking sh*t...

You're right, I am. I should follow your intellectual and well written posting style instead...

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. At the time he was commanding a high fee as he was scoring for fun and we offered well, well below the going rate at the time. That's how football works.

At least with Redknapp we'd stop trying to sign the whole NPC Team of the Season 11/12.

Calm down, dear. No one is saying he should be sacked, just merely giving reason to the bookies odds. Oh and do you even know what bigot means?

His chance was to do that instead of signing J Rod. A 20 goal a season, goal scoring machine would've been a nice statement of intent.
