Good post. Would be interesting to know how it operates round the fringes too. We know that Messi and Suarez are out of our range. We're probably quite confident about landing DS targets. In between, who knows? For my sins (when I'm not on here) I plan and budget software projects. The golden...

I heard the show and it was very interesting :thumbsup: Clearly Kemy Agustien has only become an angry ego-centric tweeter carrying an extra couple of pounds after he joined us. Same for Andrews passing backwards and Obika's second touch being a tackle. I thought you meant final say as that's...

Fairly much what I said to Thunderbolt. Final say in who they attempt to acquire and who they end up bringing in is different. If all your first choices fall through you can end up left with Hobson's Choice. Besides you didn't say attempt to acquire in your first post, you said "final say".

Well if you take four away from five you generally end up with one. Striker or no striker. Deal or no deal. The fact is that we lost Barnes and gained Obika. The supposition is no one apart from Jones rated Obika. I'm not stating any of this as fact. Merely using it as a tool to illustrate how...

Here's a totally hypothetical situation: David Burke identifies five strikers as we know we are going to sell Barnes. Three are thrown out immediately leaving Grabban and Obika on the list. DB: Who do you want? OG: Grabban please NJ: Obika please Both are pursued but only one landed, the one...

You'll note I said IF true. If two separate managers left within a year and one of the reasons was our transfers policy we would have a problem. I find it odd that we're still discussing if he engineered his own leaving. We know from TB that he offered to leave in March but before then? And why...

If true (and it is only one report) it raises a number of questions about how things are being run. To paraphrase Wilde, to lose one manager may be regarded as misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness. I honestly couldn't say I'd give two hoots if Oscar ships out with Jones tomorrow...
