Straight out of the Joe Kinnear book of management

And why do you think they wanted to go? was it because they could get better money elsewhere? unlikley. It was because we had no ambition, no future plans and were determined to get rid of them. Given, Beye, N'Zog and Milner were all forced out by an owner who could only see £ signs rather than competing. As for the "IF we was in the premier league i would have a different opion" statement, then what kind of planning is that? fork out for a player who will only get us through the next few months and then not be good enough for the next level. As has been said before, purchases in January should be made with a view to next season not just be good enough for the remainder of this one. The squad we have is good enough to get us promoted (as long as we dont get any key injuries), trouble is under Fat Man this squad will NOT be the same come February.

Anyone got any tips for Roast Beef? Looking for a slightly more advanced dinner tomorrow as we've got the folks around. Usual fare, roast, spuds, veg but if someone has a few tips then I'd be grateful.

A good choice, got a D200 and its spot on, although had a Canon before that, wouldnt think of swapping from Nikon now like.

Actually, now you come to mention it.......

You seriously need to work on your people skills.

Ahhh the folly of youth

Risk? hah I laugh at your attempts at risky.... Stockport and Cheltenham.

I honestly don't think Carroll or Ranger will go. Boyd could replace Harewood as we have Ameobi and Carroll to play the big man role. I would say that the only thing stopping Carroll going is whether anyone is stupid enough to come in and pay money for him. That could be the one saving grace, no club with any sense is going to purchase a player who could be unavailable for six months while residing at one of her Majestys finest establishments.

Simple as what Peasepud? What's been seen of Kadar hasn't been all bad and perhaps him and Taylor could form a steady partnership if given a chance. Thing is, Colo could just as well get injured and I'd hate to think we'd be screwed in either case. 4 first team appearances doest make him a world beater, yes Colo was one of those responsible for our demise last season but so were Shola, Nolan, Jonas, Smith, Enrique and Taylor. All of which Id be pissed off to see leave as it would be a knock to an already flimsy squad which so far has managed to avoid the injury jinx that normally hits us. Trouble is, damage is done, all of the above players have done enough to get themselves firmly rooted in the shop window and instead of dropping the shutters and telling anyone who wanders by that we're closed, our current owners will be firmly plastering the Sale signs on the window and setting up the till by the door ready for action come Friday.

We'd be screwed if Colo left, simple as.

1867 - has your Trust not looked into the possibility of purchasing the club? I met a couple of your lads at the Supporters Direct AGM last year and they were committed to the cause and from what I saw you had quite a thriving Supporters Trust but if things are as bad as you're saying what with the continual attempts to sell etc then I would have thought you'd have attempted a boyout yourselves by now?

Thats not their name

I have enough bother remembering me own bloody password never mind yours!

Seasons Greetings to you all!

Smart money is on...... Been a busy couple of weeks then, naked headbutting of Beattie one week, naked head with a Beau..thai the next.

A lot of people would have to eat a lot of words for Given to come back like.... If he leaves there, he'll go to one of the top 4 IMO - possibly Man Utd who are pretty desperate for a keeper but to tell the truth Almunia & Cech are looking less than safe at their respective clubs. Given is far and away the best in the league at the moment. I bet they dont flog him on for 5.8m over 3 years either

It would be so funny if it was Bruce. Id not be disappointed at a Phil Brown either though.

Obviously never been to Hull then, prostitution is probably their only thriving business.

I think its safe to say we've all been frustrated by what appears to be a lack of actual progress (none more so than me). Numerous times I've made promises on here, N-O and a dozen other message boards stating that further info would be out soon. Trouble is, its fairly easy to come up with these plans but when the actual in-depth work starts then you start getting into the territory of solicitors, financial rules and such like. This has turned out to be an eye opener for us, being told you cant "release this info" or cant "do anything with that until object A of document X has been agreed" has gone against the ethos of the whole campaign and the Trust itself. That has been hard for us to work with but its what you would call a necessary evil, these are the people with the important experience and knowledge in these areas and what they say goes. If only we'd known all this at the start then we would have been able to play out the six weeks differently and would have given everyone that view from the start. It is important though that everything is done properly, we will only get one chance at this, do it right and everything will come together, get it wrong and its all over, we cant ever attempt a fans buyout again because people will quite rightly look back at this one and say "it failed last time so its not worth trying". So from me personally, thats an apology however it goes with what we were doing, we've not asked anyone to actually hand over any money yet, simply register to say you'd be interested to know more. This is what is used by the big backers and financial industries to decide how popular this is going to be and its chances of working. Already we have what we believe to be a high enough level of support but its important that we get as high a number as possible. As soon as the full info is out (which will be in the next couple of weeks...honest ) then I will get it out on here.

Birthday greetings you nerd geek bastard!
