Imagine an Ivanovic or Vidic type signing for under 10mil. Would be amazing stuff. Hopefully he can spot the next Luka Modric as well if he was to come on board. The next Luka Modric (or close enough) is Milan Badelj, he even plays for Modric old club Dinamo. Bilic has him in the national team

Said it since MON left: Bilic is my #1 choice. I don't see why he should be unrealistic, and if the 200k per year is accurate (and i don't doubt it) he's even more attractive to us as a club. We need new influenses and a new style of coaching and training. If Bilic came here he'd bring young exciting players like Vrsaljko and Badelj from Dinamo not dross like Leon Best or Hutton...

More dross... A club with functioning scouting could easilly find thousands of players who are as good or better and on significally lower wages. A perfect example on why I wan't a manager from the continent, no way would Bilic or Solbakken go for Leon Best.

Isn't this a bit contradicting?

This is like that movie Inception, it's a nightmare within a nightmare. Where the f**k is my totem!?

Thank god MON decided to sign Heskey instead of that Radamel Falcao guy, he seems useless...

I doubt even MON would have been dumb enough to go for this cretin, this is an absolute nightmare.

Perhaps Randy want's his right hand man to be a rocket polisher :?:

In salary/ability ratio only Heskey offers less value for money. Get out!

I've heard they play football in some of these other places too...

I agree! Many of our players including our promising young players seems to lack some of the basic skills in football. Raw talent but lacking in intelligence, vision, tactical knowledge, intelligent movement and so on. I think an complete overhaul is way overdue

:shock: Our board should be ashamed of themselves because of what West Brom do? You couldn't make it up.......... And what is a top 'proven' manager? If we discount the revolving door of Chelsea managers who nip over to London for a 6 to 12 month highly paid holiday, the 'proven' successful managers of the past 5 years are: Ferguson Redknapp Mancini Di Matteo McLeish Dalglish Of that list the only one we may get a sniff at, although extremely unlikely, is Di Matteo, who was fired by err.....West Brom! Unless we want to retain McLeish, of course :winkold: There is a whole world outside the UK u know... Indeed, i believe that I listed some of them, as the discussion was about 'proven' (in English club football) managers Ah ok, sorry then. It's just that reading those post one could (wrongly) get the impression that you were one of those who still belive the UK is the center of the world and that if something didn't happen in England it didn't happen or isn't worth mentioning. People thinking like this (MON, our scouting, Lerner...) is one of the biggest reasons we're in the mess that we are. Again, sorry if i jumped to conclusions

That is absolutely brilliant and money well spent!!

Getting drunk and in a fight 5 days before a game, althou disgraceful probably will not affect the players physical performance against Tottenham. But what about all the commotion, negative publicity and stress of being all over the front pages? Surely this has to mentally affect them. They should know better than to behave this way but with Collins (and Hutton?) it's clear he just doesn't get it. He needs to go.

Edit: Double post

Swedish paper AB claim Everton have offered Olof Mellberg (who's a Bosman this summer) a contract. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/grekland/article14779158.ab Even at 34 i would not mind having him back, hate to see him at Everton.

At least we are consistent, we are a total disgrace on AND off the pitch

Think it says a lot about the drinking culture in English football when this isn't seen as sensational.

Would be nice to se them show that amount of fighting spirit during the games. Maybe alcohol is the answer? Popeye needs his spinach and Collins needs his alcohol

Mostly any prem football club, it is general practice to have it with about two or so matches to go. Maybe you have just failed to take notice in the past? I guess so, still think it's an absolutely moronic idea. And given our current situation it should have been postponed til after the season.

Which halfwit came up with the idea to have the "end of season party" 2 weeks before the end of the season when we're fighting relegation?

Maybe we can ask Balotelli to donate one of his "Why always me" T-shirts to Collins?

Well he did agree to manage England and they are anything but successful...
