Why should you never have sex with a mentally ******ed dwarf? Because its not big and its not clever

Well if the Allams take out say £30m this year and pay down half the outstanding transfer fees it means he could sell for £30 or £40m and either break even or even show a small profit, and have the remaining transfer debt guaranteed through the Year 2 parachute, as he toddles off up the road...

Ian Holloway is out of work, was in the shortlist when Steve Bruce came in and will be considerably lower in his wages. Plus he managed Blackpool. He would make for some interesting comments and plays attacking football.

Think 6 months before Reading paid about £350k for le Fondre we splashed out £1.25m for Aaron McLean. Maybe we/have a second chance to get him in

Will It Make The Boat Go Faster by Ben Hunt- Davis and Moby Dick, a story of destructive compulsion and a character called Ahab spoke to me somehow. I am also working my way through the Hunter Davies collection. I met him about 20 years ago through work. Top bloke, mad footie fan and a pretty...

There is no way Steve Bruce will leave, he has a contract and that is money and he won't give up money. He will wait until he is sacked, although he might force a sacking. With the nationals reporting Brady, Chester, Davies & Dawson having to be sold it does make you wonder what we are going to...

They probably said that about Sindelar. Bless you Happy.

I thought it was a well considered piece that told the tragic story of a footballing spark being snuffed out by people for who form meant more than function and refused to put football first. It may have one or two parallels with our current position.

I like it less every time I look at it. Still it does serve as a bencark that proves how good the old classic is.

The Premier League was all received and spent last season, although there may be a small balancing payment due. The consensus seems to be we owe somewhere between £25 & 30m net on transfer fees with at least £10m of it due this summer. Even if the wage which ballooned to an estimated £60m last...

Ehab, who I hear is being referred to as Ahab amongst the coaching team, is certainly a control freak and will happily admit to that. I can only imagine it will have been his decision on the Ince purchase clause and you can't see him making the likes of Quinny feel wanted. Incidentally given...

I thought that back in 2013 the McGregor & Davies deals were reported as 2 years with a club option for an extra year? If that is right a club option has to offer the same or more money than current and my guess is because they are pissed off over money they will refuse to accept. I might be...

All the players are gutted. I watched it back on Sky this morning, maybe I was hoping we'd see a different set of results. When the camera goes over to our bench you see McGregor sitting there never moving a muscle for either of the offside goals or the Valdes saves. He seemed pretty calm...

In my book leadership is defined by 5 big areas. So how does our Chairman measure up?:- Getting every single person in the business united behind a common purpose: From a fragmented dressing room, through demoralised back room staff and clueless marketing people the club we love has been split...

Here are my predictions. McShane will be at Watford and in the Premier League next season. Quinn will refuse his contract offer and get picked up by a lower Premier League club, maybe Rosey will to. Jelavic, N'Doye, Chester, Huddlestone, Brady & Elmo will want to stay in the Premier League and...
