Kevin Davies was good business if I remember. Sold him for £7.5 million plus Beattie, then got him back a year later for peanuts.

Indeed. His head may end up in another place.

Pathetic. Not 'ready' to play football? Reversal of 1914, lions leading donkeys.

I hope the board aren't surprised that by selling all your best young players all you end up attracting are mercenaries topping up the retirement pot.

Sure he'll stick around now we've got that fella on loan from Chelsea. And if that didn't convince him the Algerian loan would definitely have swung it.

Crazy world we live in. Not just footballers. But today when something doesn't go our way we have the technology to react instantly, when driven purely by emotion which is always likely to be most effective way of losing objectivity. The feelings we have in the aftermath of an event are typically very different from our more rational thoughts just a few hours later. There must be countless relationships destroyed by email, txt, whatsapp etc allowing for on demand anger gratification. Back in the day of course you were often forced to 'sleep on it'. I know women often seem to engage on these facebook battles, but the sight of a grown man reacting like this is utterly pathetic.

But the board told us we didn't have to sell?!

It would appear you are equally well skilled in the art of the reactionary personal insult! Perhaps it's best to hold fire on the phoney moral outrage for now, and come back to me when saggy face is down here and three up at half time.

Can someone explain whether or not fatty could legally make off with all the transfer funds? BBC reporting jrod and Morgan are close. Can't believe she's effectively ****ing on her fathers grave.

Why on earth would anyone want to stay here? We're going backwards. The only players who will sign are going to be mid-career mercenaries chasing a few quid on their way out. What a mess.

The top six will be pleased.

I think it's impossible to 'build' for success and progress in anything like a sustainable way. All that happens is that you lose all your players along the way. The only way to break in is the sort of spontaneous and instantaneous overnight wealth from oil money like Citeh.

It's only good business for us if the owners want to spend it.

The shortest price on offer about us going down makes it worth 20% which seems fair. Still sad to see all the promise of last season wash away and the confirmation that we are very much a selling club, and for as log as the continues we will be stuck fighting out 10th to 16th. Still better than our recent past, but having been guilty of buying into the 'plan' it's still disappointing.

Interesting point though about being sold a project that has turned out to be untrue. If he was told champions league was the plan I suppose from his perspective selling all our best players is a breach of that agreement. Still totally the wrong way to go about things though.

Don't see why we couldn't hold this lot to a draw now they have nothing to play for. If we could grab a 0-0 it would at least give the fans something to cheer.

Still evens at Paddy Power....fill your boots.

Get rid. Total k unt, and seriously overrated too.

Love you ART.

Apparently all winning bets roll over to the next spurs manager market.

Cabbie just told me mancini's renting a place in Chilworth, already have a few jars down the clump like...

Things are truly never dull with the Saints. Last season was a rare example of mid-table mediocrity, usually it's a roller-coaster ending with moderate disappointment. So in that sense Mancini fits the profile perfectly. Out by Christmas, maybe slapping KL in the face on the way and lamping Osvaldo, followed by a great escape on the final day with Hoddle in charge.

One can only assume other teams must be training in Miami too and he decided to join in.

Jumping a sinking ship for your dream club at this stage of your career - well played sir.
