    Oh dear this window is going to be a another crap one isn't it?

    We are getting picked apart now as the players we have got such as Brady and Olsson can see we are not going up this season. We are going to find it hard to attract the right kind of players.

    As for, what's the point of Brady going to Sunderland.

    The average Championship player earns £370k per annum, the average PL player earns £1.7m per annum. There's your answer. Even in the short term it's worth it for the players. They are just mercenaries these days.

    Some things I have to keep to myself Rick. Mind you the new waitress is wearing trousers whereas Sylvie always wears a fairly short skirt. Guess what - I've changed my mind again!!

    Adequately explains why he moved from one relegated Club, Hull, to us, who were likely to go down and did, and he now moves to another Club who are fairly certain to be relegated.

    Short-termism, in the extreme. A bit like your waitress lust, 1950 <yikes> ;)

    Quite frankly the positions that need attention, if we want to make a concerted attempt to get out of this division, AND make a serious go of actually staying in the Premier League, are the lot, from GK to striker - and the saddest thing is, I´m not joking. We could, and probably should, bring in at least one player in every position, while getting rid of at least one, too.

    Of course they are, and wouldn´t you be, if you were in their position. Don´t blame them, blame Murdoch, he´s the one who started the ball rolling (quite literally in fact).

    I'm not blaming them.

    Just seeking to explain why even short term deals are attractive to players who will probably end up in the Championship next season.

    Any notion of loyalty is pretty much dead these days.

    That was 1975 RER. I actually landed at Heathrow on June 4th in a snowstorm.

    In fairness to the players, they are not the only ones guilty of it in football. Clubs are no more loyal to the managers they sack, the fans they fleece or the players they move on. Its all about the money. But that is the whole of society, short termism is king. Jobs for life are rare, customer loyalty is growing rare too, there is just so much choice. We all must adapt to keep up, this is where Delia et al fail miserably and we will as a club get left behind.

    Bah!

    I don't disagree much with the post you suggested I re-read, indeed it isn't that far off what I would do. My issue is that when I changed my mind after the Birmingham result having both supported and sat on the fence about AN for many months. You accused me and others who changed their mind of a knee jerk reaction and acting irrationally, however over the last month you seem to have have change you mind 3 times (Keep him, sack him, Derby result then, keep him and now back to sack him). So when I and others, who don't happen to agree with you, change their mind they're irrational, however when you change your mind (sometimes on the back of a single result) it's Flexible? Open minded? Balanced? Fair minded? I agree that the terms you use are relevant to someone who changes there mind overtime, but I would use them to someone who changes their mind depending on which way the winds blowing. Personally I don't really care how many times you change your mind, but maybe you should treat other that change their mind with the same level of respect that you expect when you change your mind.

    My waitress lust is constant Cromer - it's the object of my desire that fluctuates. I can see my wife's car coming down the hill to come and take me home - fantasy time over!!
