This is some small time shit man !!

Do we have to play in that paint trophy as well? 

Ok, what's the catch, why is a Premier League club letting their captain go to a Championship club...or is it a case of Bournmouth being THAT small time?

Oh yeah I forgot Ronaldinho had long hair so they must be the cliched "two completely different players" 

He reminds me soooo much of Ronaldinho when he's running at players. I still don't think he'll be here next season but can guarantee wherever he goes he'll end up being a huge hit! 

Icouldtelltheworld , that sounds like a copy and paste from the Guardian! (not a good thing!)

You don't like following England because of this? Well pretty much since 2000 following England you will be surrounded by Tarquin's from the home counties eating their prawn sandwiches. And this is why there is no atmosphere in the Premier League matches as well.

At least this clowns have some passion about their country. That said I'm not condoning them most as they are mostly idiots, but you've got to have passion in football.

If only a happy medium could be found.....I believe at club level that happy medium is the ultra scene which has gained in popularity in recent years. Non-violent, they just like to make lots of colourful noise. 

14,000 doesn't sound a lot at all. 

Stan has been broadcasting from the front line via periscope. England fans out for revenge it looked like to me chasing any sniff of anything Russian around the city in big numbers. Police stepped in at the end with their tear gas.

The journo's getting in the police's way too, including our Stan. 

I don't know what's more embarrassing, those silly shorts they wear or 2000 grown men being chased off by a couple of dozen blokes wearing bumbags. It's cringe all around!

I don't think other countries get our 'banter'. Most English fans outside the pubs just want to get pissed up and sing (all beit offensive) banter songs and not get involved in MMA street-style.

So this just looks like the English went to wreck up Marseille but got sorted out by the Russians to other countries. 

Nothing official but a friend of a friend says no Longer Under Armour but a deal has been struck with New Balance.

WTF is that shat music?? Tony and Roberto out !!

If he keeps Guzan I'm starting a protest group. 

We can do it, won't be easy mind. I still have absolutely no idea of what players we'll be bringing in or even what kind of market we'll be shopping in? A new goal keeper is absolutely imperative though, that fat clearing in the woods Guzan is the main and outstanding contributor to our downfall. He's appalling.  

But still having to pay for AVTV for Championship club, thanks but no thanks.

Probably an above par managerial signing with Steve Clarke. Bit of a sad realisation of our predicament celebrating having two former (fired) WBA managers here though.

Sale not confirmed, manager not confirmed. Lerner still owner.

 

Indeed. Speculators keep speculating.

Why has he got such a small mouth and why hasn't he replaced Guzan yet? 

SSN say 'closing in' so not official yet. Odd of the BBC to jump the gun. 

LOL "he won The Champions League" that's akin to those who say Sherwood "got us to an F.A. Cup Final" most of the work was done already.

Still I'm not against him, he's not Pearson for a start. I'd prefer if he'd had a league title under his belt but beggers can't be choosers.

Welcome Roberto.

I like the way he's in large media outlets talking us up and talking about the deal. 

He's raising awareness from day one. I don't think it's any coincidence. 

I just hope he can get the decisions right to get us promoted and beyond. The proof will be in the pudding. 

I don't think CNN are concerned about the new owners of a Championship Club...he is sounding out the outlets himself/Recon to get his message across and give reassurance. 

He sounds genuine in that video when he says he loves the club tbf.

12 mentions from for Houghton in the thread including the responses to my post.....so about 5 if that. Would have expected more. Disappointing, he'd have fit the job like a glove on a hand. 

Just now, Tubby said:

The small matter of him signing a 4 year deal at Brighton might be a factor wouldn't you think?

He was never mentioned before that either tbf.

Just signed a new contract I believe.

Really? We'd be lucky to get Nigel Clough at this rate.

Why isn't Chris Houghton ever mentioned? He got Newcastle Promoted, he got Brighton to third which is way better than expected. I just don't understand? Give black mangers a chance, and we are club with a proud history of brining through black players in the early ages. 

I can't help thinking if he was white he'd be getting mentions all the time....subconscious racism like Chris Rock said at the Oscars.  

He seems a very obvious candidate starring us in the face.  

Sanchez Flores worth a flutter? He managed Getafe twice before going to Watford. Getafe are a small club. Looks like he may take any old gig.
