He's far too good for Newcastle. They're also the sporting arm of a horrendous regime so I would hate it if he went there. Liverpool, Madrid, City.

Someone who might have been Dolans agent might have been in the ground. I expect him to sign imminently.

"We, the board and senior management of BRFC feel it's time to be open and honest with supports in order to build trust. We don't care about the football club. We have been and will continue to run the club in the cheapest way possible. Eustace left because he hated working here, as did JDT. Ismail was cheap. We'll renew player contracts if we can weasel them into agreeing terms that are below market value. The fans don't matter to us, in fact, they're an irritant. If we could run the club without their income, we would. We have no aspirations of building or growing the club, in any way, whatsoever." Happy?

This one goes out to all the chumps who still think time is linear. It's a loop, see you all again in a few months folks.

If Aynsley Pears gets a contract for 40 grand a week to sit on United's bench and be a domestic box tick I think we can call time on the game as a whole.

Are you ok? Spurs are 14th, they buy poorly, they have appointed a manager who has created a rift with the players and they are serial losers. Stop being a contrarian. I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts if a Rovers manager turned round and gave some to the BBE. Bet you'd be understanding then, wouldn't you?

Good. I want to see 50 feet flames. There's nothing to play for.

Other than the above I think we've got a fighting chance.

We are the only club where mediocrity is not only rewarded but targeted. I won't accept anyone saying otherwise. Our directors are rewarded not for sporting performance but cost cutting. We are an exercise in racing to the bottom with a football team tagged on. If they could halt football operations at the club you can bet your bottom fucking dollar they would.

This guy is fucking honking. Absolutely decimated months of work in mere weeks. At least he's efficient.

I hadn't considered this before and I am convinced it is true.

After tearing the country apart, sure.

Two things can be true. He's been the best by a long, long margin.

The way that some fans have chosen to turn against one of our most gifted managers in many years instead of face just how untenable they made his position is frightening.

We've just lost against 3 of the worst teams in the league while Bristol and Cov are flying. We need to win at least 5 of our remaining 8 games and hope the two above (and likely one or two others) do worse than that. You're kidding yourself.
