Promoted from League 1 at the first time of asking and then gets a mid-table finish in the C'ship with a cash-strapped Blackpool side. That's impressive and we've just hired him as our assistant. From what I can see the Blackpool fans are absolutely gutted.
There's only 2 reasons why people are joining. One is Gerrard and the other is money. That's it and that's okay if it helps elevate us to the next level.
..and if he does attract those players (he already has to be fair) then regardless of how we start the new season we'll be in a better position than we are now so I suppose it's a win-win situation for us.
I hope the rumours of Palace being in for him are true. Would be real interesting to see him have a crack at another team in the Prem to see if any of us were right when calling for him to be picked.
Can I repeat that this guy was just called up to the French national team? The French national team. Their squad is absolutely **** ridiculous, their midfield even more so.
