Interesting how we are critical of Rudkin and his relationship with Jon Morris yet this weekend I have heard of two fans from elsewhere in the PL moaning about agent links. 

 

West Ham fans are pissed off with the link Will Salthouse and his agency has with Sullivan and West Ham. Forest are concerned about Edu's relationship with Kia J (not going to bother trying to spell his surname). Howe's nephew is heavily involved with Newcastle's recruitment and interim Sporting Director. 

West Ham not surprising - far too old school those pair. Howe's recruitment is generally crap so that doesn't surprise me either but Edu is a smart guy and Kia has proper talent on his books.

 

We're lumbered with Wasserman's crap stock and it's a relationship that we only ever seem to lose out of.

See Chelsea pushing to take Liverpool to Tribunal hoping they will get more than a handshake for Rio Ngumoha, be interesting to see how much & how long this takes as i'm sure we still haven't got anything out of them for Nyoni yet & that was in 2023 when he fled.

Liverpool have form mind, a tribunal had to decide the fee they paid Fulham for Harvey Elliott when he jumped at the age of 16 also, it took 2yrs but Fulham received a record for a 16yr old (at the time, assume still is) fee of £4.3m, that would be very welcome around about now or a rounding up to £5m

All done and dusted according to @ramadaone

Potter looks he's been found out at West Ham, certainly highlights what an overrated manager he is. Half decent job at Swansea, Brighton was doing well but so has the manager's to follow him, Chelsea was a disaster and terms of West Ham lets just say he's taking the club backwards. Not doubt he gets the sack by West Ham another gullible premier league club will still come in for him. Not impossible his next job is someone like Fulham.

Fulham are too smart for that. They're a well-run club. 

 

I can see him ending up as a pundit once West Ham sack him off. He isn't getting another good Premier League job and I think he'd see the Championship as beneath him.

Might be an opening in Scotland soon

[Fear Of The Fox]

I've been informed there was mayhem in the dressing room post match. Amorim is accusing certain players for boycotting him and the team and he's going to resign with a bang. 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Just watched Amorim's interview and I think he's done. He was more vocal than Mourihno back in the day after our game against them. Not only he's resigning but he's leaving the club in pieces, he regrets he got the job in the first place.

I'll be surprised if Man Utd avoid relegation this season, whole club is rotten beyond repair now and Amorim is putting the nail in the coffin with a great escape to save his reputation. 

[Super_horns]

They probably won’t get relegated but on that performance won’t be competing for Europe that is for sure .

 

Trouble for Man U is that when they did play well v Arsenal still lost and didn’t score .

[CosbehFox]

No sympathy with Amorim. His reluctance to move away from a very specialised formation is incredible. 

[Trent Steel]

Potter & Amorin first to go I think, Potter after this weekend when Florist unfortunatley batter them at home and maybe Burnley do Man U and they pull the plug

I did say Nuno but it looks like he kissed and and made up with Jabba

I mentioned on here a few years back i'd been told he doesn't buy into any strength and conditioning work, to the point where he cancelled the redevelopment of the gym at Cobham when he was there, basically says players can do that in their own time.

Makes more and more sense now to be honest. Every team he manages looks slow, they're easily bullied off the ball and they fall to pieces as soon as anything goes wrong. 

[Leicesterpool]

Thing about Man United, who do they bring in whose available that's better than what they got. Nuno would be good one for them especially with him being unhappy at Forest at the moment however I don't think they would buy into his style play. Rodgers was linked to them a few seasons when he was here not sure if he is still on there radar again another manager unhappy at club he is at, but no way better than what they got. Don't rule out a club legend coming back like a Ryan Giggs.

Gary Rowett fancy it?

[StanSP]

That melt Solhekol on Sky is saying Amorim was too honest and shouldn't have said so much. 

 

Tit. 

 

Also says he should have congratulated Grimsby. Even though he did.

Sounds like a job for Harry

Why am I looking at rumours of Brentford shelling out £60m on a striker?

Even Man United would not lower themselves to appointing a man who thought John Rambo was played by Bruce Willis

Sold toney for a lot

sold mbuemo for a lot

selling wissa for a lot 

 

they can afford it though it’s out of character 

[Nalis]

Woltemade to Newcastle is a good signing for me, especially since Elanga and Barnes love whipping the ball into the box

Roy Keane, I think they need someone from that period Giggs or Keane.

I'd almost forgotten Mark Hughes -had to google to find out if he was still alive! Head coach at Carlisle it seems.

Roy Keane and Mark Hughes masterclass, honestly though Keane would sort the dressing room out probably lose half of it but that's what they need.

 

They are similar to us really but are falling from a higher mountain.

[Tielemans63]

Chelsea finally getting that winger they've been crying out for

Bayern were keen for him but didn't get him so obviously highly rated.
