Yup. No chance Brighton would agree to Chelsea coming and play a friendly like two weeks after the events if there was some tapping up or other foul play. If you're willing to spend like £100m on getting a new manager (£20m+ compensation, £60m for GP and then other staff maybe £20m), you can...

War of attrition over there. I'm sure Rodgers would want to leave the ship, but unwilling to give up his £1m/month paycheck, and I'm sure Leicester would like to sack him, but are unwilling to pay him his wages. He wants to be sacked, they want him to resign. Makes both of them look bad. Not...

I struggle to feel bad for Rodgers... got everything he pointed at for years, not enough players developed to be sold to bigger clubs, then they made a £120m deficit and said "sorry man we can't pour more money on you atm" and he behaved like a spoiled kid in a candy store. With that attitude...

Any true non-**** human will know that different humans react in different ways to different events and that it doesn't make them any more or less of a supporter. Some people get irrational, rage and cry and to those I can imagine it is provoking that others remain calm and logical. What is the...

All part of the Terry Butcher tribute perhaps. Maybe ol' Captain Bloods life revolves around a Paul Barber-shaped dartboard.

But Naylor said...

...if he has grudges against GP and the others, then yes I think you're right.

You're right.. that narrows it down a bit. No wonder the new bloke hasn't arrived yet. Well, now I have something to do tonight...

Maybe this "Graham Potter" bloke would be available then. Think Tony would take a punt on him?

Maybe. Think Lampard is pretty safe. Leicester would probably have sacked Rodgers if they could afford to do it and hire a replacement but judging from the summer window it just looks like they can't afford it. Villa could be a candidate I suppose.

It would have to be after the World Cup. Gallardo and Martinez are in very different positions. Gallardo is managing his boyhood team, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and doing very well over there. It would take something extraordinary to get him away and I don't think Brighton fits...

Who wouldn't be a punt in your opinion? Yes, right philosophy, right personality, right experience, educated in the same school bench as Gus Poyet and Graham Potter. I think absolutely he would be the top candidate.

I'm like 90% sure Roberto Martinez would be candidate no. 1 if available so you could be right about that. I don't have any real problems with Crofts/Lallana but IMO it is a huge gamble if they decide to wait.

That is what... 8? league games with someone who got his license in the summer and a bloke who is still playing for the team. If true, I'll have to label that as slightly uncomfortable.

Yeah known for getting good results but also being entirely hopeless to work with. I guess if for some reason things get desperate, could get a guy like that just to keep the ship steady. But would find it very unlikely.

It means very little. I'd be absolutely shocked if he had said "ye, I'm like 73% focused on my football team now and 27% focused on possibly moving to England".

Well... I think 10 out of 12 clubs in the SPL would be very, very relegated from the Championship.

Who the **** is Mike Newell?

Ok I take it you don't have that expression in England. Basically it means it is starting to look dangerous for him, Kaplan and Levien are not going to appreciate a relegation battle.
