    Interesting Forza will see what I can find out, but looks like Orta is looking at U18s/U23s. So guessing the same agent that unearthed Klich and Miazek

    Pity the special one has gone. Was doing a wonderfully mediocre job. :smiley-finger007:

    Sadly though, it wasn't mediocre enough for me. Extrapolating their current points per game average would see them safe on 58 points this year. :(

    Hopefully they'll accelerate their decline by appointing a right fanny as caretaker. Roy Keane would be perfect imo. If the dressing room is upset at the moment, imagine what it would be like after he'd spouted some of his 'full & frank' opinions. :D

    Relegation? Too much to hope for? Well yes, we all know the PL would suspend relegation for a year to let them get sorted out, so no point in jotting that request down on my letter to Santa. :(

    More importantly, what effect will this have on us? Absolutely none, I'd say. Bielsa would not be interested imo, and nor would scum be interested in him. Too old. They'll be looking for another old red nose-type dynasty again, as clearly the shorter appointments have done them no favours at all. They'll want someone younger. I've heard Zidane's name, but I don't think he's got a good enough track record for them. Pocahontas is a different kettle of fish. Young, successful, knows the PL, a Bielsa disciple who plays attacking football, and interested. Doddle. How do I know he's interested, you ask? Easy, I heard him interviewed on the radio when asked if he was interested! Did he reply "No, I've got a great squad at a great club & am excited about the future"? Nope, he simply said that internal matters at another club were nothing to do with him. Which is manager-speak for 'come & get me, I'm available'. I sincerely hope it doesn't happen, as he's perfect for them. Sadly. :(

    After losing Saiz yesterday the news I just read made me laugh at loud but then I started worrying. Theres a story doing the rounds that Capri Jerry is doing the rounds again. He left Capri in the Summer but was unfit due to kneee that needed cleaning out. That work has finished and hes back in training with Perugia ready waiting for the call from Victor :angry: Jerry go lie down ffs

    Mbakogu bought out his own contract so he could come to ER for nothing.

    Leeds didn't want him then, so pretty sure they don't want him now.

    I'm too enjoying watching a badly run mid table team. Two managers gone in less time than Moye's contract <ok> <laugh>
    For what it's worth I don't think it will happen. Poch has just signed a five year contract. Levy will rinse them if they try to get him + the north of £24 million to Jose as they extended his contract at the start of the season. I'm beginning to think their CEO is a Leeds fan <cheers>

    I’m hoping they go big for him and that he turns them down, I would love for them to get turned down publicly a couple of times.

    Really tough and important match coming up this weekend away at the Villa.

    You might be surprised to learn that even though our opponents are 3 points behind us in the form table (6 games) they have a much better goal difference over that period of +8 to our +3.

    Yep that's right we've taken 15/18 points and only have goal difference of +3.

    If that hasn't frightened you enough, when we look at the 10 game form table then Villa are only 4 points worse off than us, but still trump us on the goal difference +9 to our +5.

    Question is...should we go for it as at WBA or take a more defensive approach and be happy to try and win it late on ?

    Hate to say it, but with the injuries, I really can't see us getting anything out of this game. Glad of the points gap and hope we get lucky with other results.

    All of our closest rivals seem to have very winnable games this weekend so if we do lose then the chasing pack will probably close in.

    Agree with you, it's a game in all likelihood we will do well to draw.

    Im not asking for a lot just a keeper and as you say a creative mid. Bamford may well be the answer to my season long striker wish.

    If you wanted to frighten people, you'd Just have to point out who they got their points/goals against v who we did.

    Hey stoke gave at least as good as they got against them last week... maybe they’ve Peaked!

    Big test. But you have to belieeeeeve brothers.
