He's breaking SFA rules and has a hearing with them soon. "The charges against Rangers and Ashley are not quite the same. Take a deep breath before this reading this paragraph, but SFA disciplinary rule 19 states that except with the prior written consent of the board no-one "involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management or administration of a club" or who has "any power whatsoever to influence the management or administration or a club" may at the same time either directly or indirectly be involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management or administration of another club or have any power whatsoever to influence the management or administration of another club. Which is a verbose way of saying Ashley isn't allowed to run Newcastle and Rangers." http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobil...-interesting-reading-down-ibrox-way.115927019
Not clear from the bit you pasted wether it only applies to Scottish clubs or not (cba reading the article), any chance you can confirm this
Coutinho has the perfect platform to keep building and work his way back into the Brazil team as well as become an even better player. He has areas of weaknesses like his finishing and his stamina but he's still only 21 or 22, with him, Sterling, Sturridge they can form a potent front 3.
Will he ****. As if the auld kilts at sweaty FA HQ are capable of legging up a business tycoon like Ashley ffs. He'll have every t crossed and I dotted by his team of briefs.
quite glad it was dull as **** - getting a bit sick of sky sports dressing deadline day up like a cup final
Technically all over barring extra time for those deals that will trickle through overnight and into tomorrow morning. Thoughts?? Chelsea and City have bought shrewdly again to give themselves even more strength in depth in areas they needed extra recruits. Chelsea also do some good business selling Schurrle for a few extra million than they paid Leverkusen Aaron Lennon continues his career as an outstanding journeyman, will he live fulfil any of his early career billing at Everton?? Wilfried Zaha moves again - wouldn't be the end of a window without Zaha going somewhere We're still stuck with a load of wet deadwood
West Ham co-chairman David Gold: "Sorry for keeping you up late but at the last moment the main deal collapsed and the rest folded like a pack of cards. Stay strong." #wum
I'm happy with the way the team's playing now, apart from the lack of goals. Danny being back will hopefully turn that round, but I'd have liked to have seen some effective back-up. Other than that, I'm content to stick with what we have, we don't want to go disrupting the team balance all over again.
cheslea got rid of a flop and replace him for maybe a net 1 mil... not really strengthened, more refreshed as a player like shurrle just goes off sitting round doing nothing. Lennon will help everton big time... I think. the need pace, they ought pace.
