It's going to be him isn't it?

That would be perfect.

Ancelotti and Moyes. Benitez and McClaren would get bigger crowds though, but for totally different reasons.

Someone comes up with a story that Ancelotti will be named manager and the negative comments start As for your 54% stat, I am pretty sure some of those people would be happy with Ancelotti instead. Just out of interest who would you go for? not being negative, i'd support Ancelotti 100% if he became our manager. in order, my preference would be: Jol Hughes Moyes Ancelotti :shock: Surely that list is upside down?

Is Defoe with him? Nah, apparently he's in an estate agents in Lichfield.

It's on Sky Sports News right now, breaking news!

:eek:

Apparently Hughes has quit Fulham.

I have a terrible feeling that it is going to be McLaren.

Unfortunately I think he's out of our league.

Moyes . Ancelotti . Hughes . Deschamps . Martinez . . . . Everyone else . . . . McLaren . . . . . . . . . . . Benitez

Got to go all out for Moyes.

With the amount of money Hughes had to spend at Man Shitty there was bound to be a few dodgy signings. He was building a completely new squad, so some of the players he bought were intended to be backup players. I would say him building the spine of their current team (Kompany, Lescott, Barry, De Jong, Tevez) is enough to say he did spend well. Also, the football they played then was far better than the boring stuff Mancini has got them playing.

Children, gather round. Are we comfortable? Excellent. Now today, we will be learning how statistics can be used to reach utterly absurd conclusions (in this case, see the above). In the finest traditions of overtly-PC maths books, I shall be using racially diverse children for this exercise: Patel has bought some apples from Dieter. He has bought 25 in total, 2 of them are Granny Smith and 23 of them are Red Delicious. Upon eating them, Patel has found that both the Granny Smith apples are rotten. Taken as a percentage, this is 100%. Upon eating the Red Delicious, Patel found that 9 of them were rotten, but the rest were okay. Rounded and taken as a percentage, this is 39%. Patel goes home to his mixed-race parents, Sadhna and Jonsi. He tells them that he doesn't like Granny Smith apples because they are always bad, and he will only eat Red Delicious because they are good most of the time. His parents (who are both maths lecturers) grounded him for a week for being a moron, enlightening him that you cannot accurately compare the percentages of two sets of data if the amount of data captured for each set is vastly different. Class dismissed. Epilogue: Once Patel had finished his punishment, he went back to Dieter and gave him a revenge wedgie for selling him rotten apples. Very well said.

They should have been nowhere near the bench, never mind on it. Houllier was absolutely right to freeze them out. They are both a disgrace and the sooner they leave the better.

What's stopping him? Other clubs thinking we would even contemplate selling him for £12 million. That's what.

That article really is laughable. N'Gog worth £8 million and Downing worth £12 million? Where exactly do they get stuff like that from?

I have a feeling that this might be the case. Hope so anyway.

In terms of what? He took over, what, two years ago? In that time, we have sold our best two players, lost a Manager who at least made us media attractive, signed a Manager who isn't up to the job. The five year plan has gone for a burton. Look at it from the other angle. What has Paul Faulkner actually done to help the club? Darren Bent?

Totally agree!

I honestly think Houllier would build a good team here and get us back on track but health wise it really would be an idiotic decision if he did stay.

Why? Because Ellis and O'Leary would have taken us into the Championship in the 06/07 season. Instead, Randy took over and we ended up finishing 6th in 3 of his first 4 seasons. 2010/11 was a setback because of the mess O'Neill left us in, but not a setback that we can't recover from.
