Yeah, his work at Palace, West Brom and Fulham was excellent. A good history of picking up struggling clubs and guiding them to safety, which is a big concern.
Mrs was there for the weekend and has now been marooned at the airport since Monday lunchtime and now booked out on a flight to Manchester tomorrow morning. Can't even get them out of the airport to a hotel. She has just had to buy herself some more clothes as all bags are already checked in so I told her to see if she could get some money back selling the knickers she has had on for the past day and half.
Tbh it's wise to tell Seville to get ****ed. Tell the world there's money there, but don't piss us off or you'll get nowt.
With everyone else changing managers we need to be a bit proactive though, I want Lingard and Carlos in to save our season. If we are fannying about over 10 million pounds extra we need to wake up. This is life now.
If they let clubs do it then yes that will continue, but a little resolve early on can nip that in the bid from the off. Call their bluff and if they aren't give their rival money. Nufc have got to play the game or they'll be played
I mean it sounds good on paper, but when we are successful every single club will start increasing their prices anyway. City have to pay a bit more than everyone else, Chelsea pay a LOT more. I understand your point 100%, but currently it's like being on lifesupport and haggling for the price of oxygen because of a 10 pence increase. Whats the point, ye about to die man.
It sounds like they keep saying give us X nufc offer X and they say no we want more. Essentially they're taking the piss and if it was me I go elsewhere and then spend the next 2 years hijacking their activities in the market...
They were asking 60 million euros for a 29 year old cb? Wise to walk away.. No surprise Chelsea had this with Seville in the summer and couldn't get a player. Move on... Go back for Botman?
