Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 List WBAs squad. Don't know many of their squad, but I have a lot of admiration for their manager.
Legod Third Coming Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Say what you like about Chelsea and the way their Chairman operates, their trophy cabinet is a bit more interesting than Arsenal's...
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Say what you like about Chelsea and the way their Chairman operates, their trophy cabinet is a bit more interesting than Arsenal's... Here's one for you: Can you name the trophy Arsenal have in their cabinet that no other prem team has ever won?
Saint Stimp Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Here's one for you: Can you name the trophy Arsenal have in their cabinet that no other prem team has ever won? Liebherr Memorial Cup?
Redondo Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 I was told Di Matteo was going to be our manager in the summer if he didn't get the Chelsea job. source - a member of the Chelsea board who I Know well via work contacts. Who is your mate then?!! Chelsea Ltd. Owner: Roman Abramovich Chelsea F.C. plc Chairman: Bruce Buck Directors: Ron Gourlay and Eugene Tenenbaum Executive Board Chief Executive: Ron Gourlay Finance and Operations Director : Chris Alexander Club Secretary : David Barnard Company Secretary : Alan Shaw Chelsea Football Club Board: Bruce Buck Eugene Tenenbaum Ron Gourlay David Barnard Mike Forde Life President: Lord Attenborough
ART Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Like with the Saints supporters anger with Adkins recently, Chelsea fans will be too scared to protest in mass for fear of Abramovich pulling out his financial backing of the club. I shall raise my hat to any that are honest and open enough to tell Abramovich what they think of him and his constant culling of managers. Can't believe he'll be able to get away yet again with firing a decent manager who has served their club in exemplary fashion. |Money or sport, big bucks or football?
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Liebherr Memorial Cup? As much winning the Liebherr Trophy would be the pinnacle of most players' careers, this one is even more impressive.
ART Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 @chelseafc Merry Christmas Mister Abramovitch. Yet another Savior slaughtered in true Abramovitch and Chelsea FC Christmas Spirit.
Turkish Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Who is your mate then?!! Chelsea Ltd. Owner: Roman Abramovich Chelsea F.C. plc Chairman: Bruce Buck Directors: Ron Gourlay and Eugene Tenenbaum Executive Board Chief Executive: Ron Gourlay Finance and Operations Director : Chris Alexander Club Secretary : David Barnard Company Secretary : Alan Shaw Chelsea Football Club Board: Bruce Buck Eugene Tenenbaum Ron Gourlay David Barnard Mike Forde Life President: Lord Attenborough His name is on this list, but I'm not saying which one it is. http://www.insideview.com/directory/chelsea-football-club-ltd
ART Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Anyone seen this disgusting interview with Abramovitch on why he sacked Di Matteo............. to cause him pain and suffering for spoiling Abramovitch's evening on his luxury Yacht. The guy ought to be shot. https://www.facebook.com/talksport?ref=ts&fref=ts
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Which one buys the paper dammit? My money is on Attenborough.
Turkish Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Which one buys the paper dammit? My money is on Attenborough. It might be ink.......
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Well if it's ink, then it is obviously Bruce Buck. He loves a deal on a cartridge, everyone knows that.
Turkish Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Well if it's ink, then it is obviously Bruce Buck. He loves a deal on a cartridge, everyone knows that. It might be both........
Turkish Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 You wish! Kaching! ££££ Tis a common joke in our industry, when we get a big order for cartridges we always ask 'do you want any paper with that?' many a lol has been had over the years.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Stop, you're making me jealous. It's sounds such fun at your work, I bet it doesn't feel like work at all.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Do you have dress down Friday but instead of wearing casual stuff, you all dress as your favourite Harry Potter character? Bet Roman loves that kind of sh!t.
Turkish Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Better than that, we even have a dress your area competition where each team dresses their desks on the Friday theme, obviously between now and Christmas that'll be the theme. On Friday we're all wearing comedy Christmas jumpers, the winners get to win £25 worth of Millbrook bowl vouchers for a team night out.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 I don't know where the jokes end and the truth begins Turkish... Thank god I don't work in an office anymore.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Chelsea should stick with a manager for the long term.....and win jack sh it for a decade like Arsenal. Less than a season in charge and he won two of the biggest cup competitions available. But yeah, that comparison definitely works.

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Is there anyone you don't know? Don't think he is on first name terms with Anton Ferdinand.
CB Fry Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Less than a season in charge and he won two of the biggest cup competitions available. But yeah, that comparison definitely works. What? Aren't just making the same point as me?
St Jim Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Here's one for you: Can you name the trophy Arsenal have in their cabinet that no other prem team has ever won? Mercantile Credit Centenary Trophy - Once off trophey to celebrate the 100th birthday of The Football League.
100%Red&White Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Said to be going in as caretaker at Chelsea until Summer IF they can't get Pep to come in earlier. Why would someone like him but used as a stepping stone? It is crazy to think of Benitez accepting a short-term appointment as just a seat-warmer for Guardiola unless he already has something lined up himself for the summer and this suits all parties. Man City? Back to Liverpool? He's even been linked with us!
Miltonroader07 Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Heard this last night, probably b......x but there was some talk about him as Assistant Manager to NA... as I said probably rubbish but has anyone else heard this
Turkish Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Is there anyone you don't know? You for a start.
Dig Dig Posted 22 November, 2012 Author Posted 22 November, 2012 Think its the first time anyone has mentioned this
tajjuk Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Why would a man who has just won the Champions league and FA Cup suddenly become someones assistant?
dronskisaint Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Why would a man who has just won the Champions league and FA Cup suddenly become someones assistant? Obviously he'll be short of cash...... More skate sh it stirring from the OP
shurlock Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Is there anyone you don't know? Printer ink is the lifeblood of the economy.
Greenridge Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I believe it could be true. Someone from the Chelsea Board told little Dicky.
brmbrm Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Its true! I heard the same thing! On the other thread! So it must be true!
Cascadia Saint Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Heard this last night, probably b......x but there was some talk about him as Assistant Manager to NA... as I said probably rubbish but has anyone else heard this As you said, probably rubbish. Are you talking about everything you said, or just this?
ecuk268 Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I heard it from a friend of the person who walks Cortese's window cleaner's dog.
tajjuk Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 List WBAs squad. List Liverpools, Arsenals, Spurs, Newcastles, Sunderlands. All their squads cost far more than ours to assemble and they are all below West Brom. You also have to remember we spent £1.8 million in 2011/12, and £150k in 2010/11. 3 year total spend £30.45 In the same period West Ham for example have spent £40 million on transfers. Fulham £30.4, Sunderland £68 million, Aston Villa £73.15 million, Stoke £46 million, Newcastle £41.75 million, QPR 39.4. So we have had a League 1 squad and spent £30 million on it, some of those teams had premiership teams in the first place and had have spent way more on them than us. Just because we spent a lot this season doesn't instantly mean we should be doing well, it's not that Black and White.
Turkish Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I do laugh at people now saying we have a league one squad now, which is Why we are struggling. It's not a league one squad thought is it. Do you think Lambert, Lallana, Schniderlin, Cork, Fonte, Puncheon, K Davis and Sharp are league one players? Only a few months ago this 'league one sqaud' was labelled out best team ever, man for man better than our 2003 side and half of them should be in the England squad!!!
Shroppie Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I'm so glad someone has started a new thread on this. Very surprised there was no discussion at all yesterday about Di Matteo...... Oh.
pingwing Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I heard zola, vialli and di matteo are all coming out of retirement to sign for us as we desperately need these sorts of players in the squad... gullit will manage
Glasgow_Saint Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Miltonroader07 has a number of SFC 'key' contacts - peeps should dyor before knocking his comments. he was spot on and 1st with news on the transfers of Jay R, Davis, Clyne and Boruc
NickG Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 List Liverpools, Arsenals, Spurs, Newcastles, Sunderlands.

Just because we spent a lot this season doesn't instantly mean we should be doing well, it's not that Black and White. far too logical and sensible for here! The other issue, teams in premiership find it much easier to hold onto talent as well. Adding three or four players for £20m helps and raises expectations - but doesn't suddenly make a championship side (or league 1 side) good enough for a guaranteed easy ride in the premiership. Teams can over or under perform compared to the cost to assemble (e.g. WBA v QPR) but to say the injection of a few players into our squad means we are underperforming is too simplistic, short-sighted and shows a lack of understanding of what it takes to build a premiership squad
doddisalegend Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Yeah Di Matteos stock must be so low right now that the only job he could get is as someone no.2:rolleyes:
Miltonroader07 Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Cheers GS, as I said it was just something that I heard from someone, nothing more. Thought this forum was about discussing issues in the news or being talked about, this was being talked about last night in Lyndhurst and it is probably rubbish, it has been mentioned before that NC and DiMateo are mates

Only a few months ago this 'league one sqaud' was labelled out best team ever, man for man better than our 2003 side and half of them should be in the England squad!!! over the last few years, most of those have played most of their football in league 1. Do you think if Newcastle or Sunderland or QPR signed those players a few months ago their fans would be excited on their forums at signing 1st team premiership players? No. If their forums are like here they would have been suicidal at their clubs lack of ambition signing lower league players. Personally think most, not all, of your list are good enough for the premiership.
eelpie Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 I hard this from Di Matteo's barber. Says Di Matteo earned so much from his pay-off that he's buying up Saints lock stock and barrel.

We had a league 1 squad. £30m takes account of the money spent to replace the likes of Patterson, Lancashire, Wotton, Perry, Thomas, James etc - all league 1 players, if not lower.
