You must have £20 mil probably north as a rough estimate spare knocking around as loose change.

Not for the first time, I've no idea what you're talking about.

I remember a job I had 5 years ago, had a terrible last 9 months but honestly feel like I learnt more in that 9 months than I have in 19 years working.

Is it not just his way of saying that it's been his hardest season and he's learning from it?

If he is learning, then he's learning at a very slow rate.

Where would we be if you thought you were losing the plot, Vinny?

Does Tresor get left out as he has already been sold and they don't want him injured to prevent losing out on a dividend ?

No. He gets left out because he's bloody awful.

I'm thinking he tried to carry on, but "succumbed" and went off allowing Penny to make his (only?) appearance. We promptly lost!

No. Penny had started the previous season in the defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.

No, but apparently he dropped the microphone.

Have they ever left it this late in recent years?

fidelcastro

The story he tells of being locked in a bank on Christmas Eve on 'Would I lie to you?' is a classic!

fidelcastro

I'll be honest, I'd not heard of him until I got into 'Curb' a few years ago, but he played his part brilliantly. Really sad news.

The episode where him and Larry are fighting over the bracelet still makes me laugh!

For the reasons I posted on another thread. Basically getting rid won’t save us, we’d have to pay compensation and his Championship record is astonishingly good. Nobody is expecting us to be saved from relegation now. However, the way we have been so embarrassing and the way he has dismantled the s...

Traffords selection isn’t the be all and end all of all that has been shite this season. I don’t understand why it appears to be the only hill you want to die on for some reason. There are a tonne of proverbial hills to choose from.

Yes, and they're all down to the manager.

fidelcastro

I've often heard the expression "running out of superlatives", sadly it sounds like you're running out of ways to say how bad we are.

fidelcastro

I remember him being interviewed by Alan Shearer in the documentary he was doing about the connection between dementia and the constant heading of footballs.

It was really sad that Nicholl sounded like a punch drunk boxer, but he said that he didn't regret a thing in his career.

Easy to say that. Phil Parkinson done nothing as a manager in the championship never mind the premier league

Agreed. What I'm saying is I don't think we'd have been worse off this season.

fidelcastro

For all their failings at this level, most of the current squad are far, far too good for the championship and after last season you (probably) have to feel the same about the manager. Which players are too good for the Championship? We have some good Championship players. It doesn't mean they're t...

So why don’t premier league clubs hire league one managers

You've missed my point.

I honestly don't think we'd have fewer points if Phil Parkinson was in charge (and no, I don't want him as Kompany's replacement!)

fidelcastro

Dyche was potted after we'd accumulated 24 points from 30 games

Currently we have 13 points from 26 games.

If we don't surpass 24 points after 30 games (we won't), we have officially gone backwards since Dyche went.

Where do we go from here?

So VK is sacked tonight. Who replaces him? Not seen many suggestions

Do you actually think we'd have fewer points with a League One manager in charge of this group of players?

Purely hypothetical, I know, but I honestly don't think we would have.

fidelcastro

I have now bumped the thread containing the BBC interview where the assurance on VK’s position as manager was made. If we were to lose next week at home, and in a similar manner to today, then the fans' patience is going to turn. That's my prediction, so his assurances about the manager are going t...

Came from a Matt Williams - thread contains positive comments from posters “excellent interview” and “good to hear there’s no sign of panic from the club”.

Then we really are screwed, if people are going to keep blindly believing in him.

Did it come from Alan Pace?

Well yes, you'd certainly hope so. Whatever the figure comes to, just pay it and let's have him out. What worries me is that we're going to spend the next few years desperately trying to offload the absolute shite he's landed us with. Lots of loans to the Turkish League beckon. Stop it.

Kompany has just been on Radio Lancs.

He said something on the lines of "There are millions who play football and do you know what the odds are on getting to the premier league"?!!!

Clueless!

The only Millions he should be talking about are the ones he's spunked up the wall!
