I wonder how much of the prevarication with transfers is brinkmanship plus the usual trick of saving wages in pre season. it's likely to backfire if that's what we're up to.

Still nothing concluded. Perhaps Kinnear's local is a mobile phone black spot?

If the royals are parasites, what does that make royal correspondents? These so-called experts should be soundly beaten with shit covered sticks iyam.

I like to frequent the SkyCity casino now and then. Usually after I've been to a strip bar.

Horrible. RIP

We predicted Kinnear would be a bad joke and at the moment it's shaping up that way. The man who goes on holiday in the transfer window and tried to make Mick Harford his first signing. At this rate pre season will be over by the time we get a striker in and I dread to think who he'll pull out of his arse.......

I think what we should all appreciate with transfers is the importance of The Line. Getting transfers Over The Line is crucial but what does any of us know about the line? Some clubs like the mackems are plainly blessed with a thin line but in our case the line is as wide as the Tyne. Llambias may have looked like a nerdy accountant but had the pulling power of a small truck to drag our january transfers over the line. Unfortunately the effort nearly killed him so kinnear was brought in to replace him. As a football man you'd think there's nothing he doesn't know about the line but his age and health count against him. Once again ashley hasn't done his due diligence. I think he was expecting our line was like the mackems. Once he'd worked out where it was and went for a look he shit himself and needed a weeks holiday to recover. He needs to look after his heart after all. The good thing is joe now recognises he needs help. Maybe her used to be good with the line but it's a young man's game these days. harford would have been good man for pulling those transfers but he probably has geoff capes lined up as a replacement. No doubt once we have the staff in place on the end of the rope we can get those transfers over the line. In the meantime we have to be patient and recognise just how difficult it is.

I think you.re right, they could easily have won the first test. Their bowlers are pretty good imo but if clarke fails they don't seem to have anyone in their top six who can hunker down and accumulate a big score. I would drop watson down the order to no 5 and promote khwaja to opener with clarke at 3 or 4.

Kinnear can't even sign harford. Lolz

Jesus, this thread. Ashley wants his money back and a profit for his trouble. I don't think he gives two hoots about the club or the fans so I don't hold with the idea he would destroy millions of in value to get back at supporters. I think the biggest problem with him is he doesn't understand football and gets taken in by bullshit pedalling wide boys like jfk and jiminez.

Harfords cv is utterly mediocre especially his coaching experience. There's nothing to suggest he brings anything valuable in terms of his knowledge. The fact that jfk is beginning to assemble a team of football dinosaurs as his cronies is very ominous imo. Shambles ahoy!

I hope they haven't given JFK a smartphone to use. That might explain the lack of transfers....

36-3 The woeful Phil Hughes departs

Given we had to put up with 15 years or so of complete dominance and gloating, I don't feel too sorry for them.

We should check whether Mick's been signed by JFK as a player or a coach....

Mick Harford. At last somebody JFK has heard of.

I suspect he makes his worse decisions when he's on the piss. Like appointing Kinnear, who was probably on the piss with him at the time.

no charge

We get Aussie coverage here which means they do the introductory analysis. Even they were struggling to talk up their chances today, although they tried gamely. Hugely enjoyable so far

Shame. Like HMHM, I think Not the 9 O'clock News was his best work. RIP

Kinnear will step in if Pardoo quits. A terrifying prospect tbh.

I've given up getting worked up about transfers. It's fucking pointless
