    Yeah just over a week with mates. It's basically a catch up holiday. I have a 2 week one in just over a months time with the gf.

    I think he'll do well at Newcastle and is a good appointment. He had one and a half very good seasons at Derby.

    I don't agree he did a fantastic job at Boro though. Four months before he got the England job, a Middlesborough fan ran on the pitch and threw his season ticket at him; it wasn't because he was doing a fantastic job. Two exciting comebacks in UEFA cup games (arguably from positions that tactical nativity had got them into) got him the England job. He was never the man for that and he wouldn't have got that if the BBC hadn't been so dogged in their desire to expose Fat Sam as a bit of a "dodgy dealer" a few weeks before the appointment.

    The bottling of those two seasons at Derby are at the end of the day the legacy he leaves there. Blowing it completely from two very strong positions. A manager who is in charge of that has too many shortcomings for me.

    You seem avid in your dislike of a man who has managed other clubs. Did he release you as a youngster from a club? :)

    Ask a Newcastle fan if they'd like to be top 6 all the way til next March, then bottle it and finish 8-10th, playing good football. I bet they snap your fingers off!

    No - just think he's a Championship manager at best. Doesn't have what it takes at top level, he's shown that since England days. Anyone who understudied SAF for as long as he did should have more to his bow than McClaren. I actually often feel a bit sorry for him - he doesn't look like he needs the hassle most of the time, and I'm sure he's a great grandad. My view of him clarified at the time he was linked to the Saints job - would you want him at Saints? I'm shuddering writing it...

    What are everyone's thoughts on Cabaye? Wants out from PSG and to return to the PL. Palace are the frontrunners because of Pardew. He is 29, but surely would give us something different?

    He wouldn't be my choice, but we'll just see if he's as bad as you say, or as "ok" as I say. I don't think he's great by any stretch but a much maligned coach who was handed the job offer he couldn't refuse at just the wrong time (or anytime for that matter).

    Bearing in mind he went to PSG, I think we can assume his wages will be very high which would rule him out of coming to SMS which is a shame as he showed he was a very creative attacking midfielder

    Gaston heading back to Italy? Bologna want him back after getting promoted.

    I was one who thought he had all the ability needed to make it here, but sadly he just didn't deliver anywhere near enough.

    Very similar to Bryan Ruiz at Fulham imo. Obviously got a lot of ability but just couldn’t adapt to the speed of the English game, shows the odd flash but nowhere near regularly enough to warrant a place in the squad.

    I'm getting a little worried that this famous black box is actually big Les playing FM, as 90% of the players we get linked with i have never heard of yet all the FM addicts on here rave about them. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Whenever we're linked with a player, I check their FIFA 15 rating.
