So what's the big news coming out of Lens then?

The owner is responding to criticism, changing the structure of the club and beginning a search for the new manager.

They're having to sell players and the supporters aren't happy.

In other news the council have announced they're twinning Sunderland with Lens <laugh>
 
If he signs here then hes a top lad but if he doesnt hes a ginger bastard.

In the unlikely event he signs,if we're sitting 12th in the league at the end of October,any amount on here, who have previously,enthusiastically agreed with your first option, will rapidly revert to your second.
 
Bookies odds only change with money being placed doesn't it? if nobody is betting on the other candidates I dont think they change - I dont think there is much money on that market to be honest hence why some candidates are still on like svensson
 
I fully agree with this but with the cavaet that we are going too far with the idea. It would only take a few tweaks and we could still be a development club but be very competitive today.

For example, a proper centre forward would hide a lot of holes in the team, our xG was actually pretty good, top 6 level, but could we hell take our chances.
This is the conclusion. Overboard with the younger lads, which means people are coming out saying "why Mayenda when we could have got x or y".

Why are you assuming Robinson is the alternative? Why not Maric?
Because Maric is close to being done elsewhere isn't it? Going to be an assistant manager. We knocked him back for Still, would be astounded if he decided to come here now. The rumours were going around yesterday that Robinson was coming here, plus the articles on X.

No, not at all.

Bookies set the odds that will maximise their profits.

Their information comes from an army of agents, owners and journalists.

Not just money being placed, but it is definitely a factor.

All rumours and assumption. Not so long ago a load would have said Rosenior is the alternative.

True but you could say the same about the stuff posted on here, comes down to what and who you believe. Just going by what the articles were saying.

He's not assuming that at all mate ...

... it's just an infantile way of 'stirring things up' and he no doubt believes he's being subtle <doh>

He's just another, in a series of RTG clowns, coming over acting the idiot ...

... not much acting ability needed in his case <laugh>
 
Need to give Still a deadline of say 6pm today to accept our final offer or we move on. If he’s supposedly agreed our previous offer last Sunday, then it shouldn’t really take him long to accept or decline our latest offer. I’m all for going the extra mile to get your 1st choice, but there comes a time when you need to move on.

Not interested in you mate, no matter how much you sniff around.
