But if you have a compensation clause in your contract (which he will do), then part of the mutual agreement that you can walk away from that contract might include you effectively having to go on gardening leave for a bit or a prospective new employer having to fork out a bit of compo if you...

Would the deal to release him from his contract include some sort of agreement that he can't sign for another club within a certain timeframe? Otherwise we might as well just have clung on to him as we'd have got compensation for the outstanding year (?) on his contract.

I really don't see Rob Edwards being on the list. Not because Luton went straight back down- anyone could have predicted that would have happened- but because their style of football is more direct than we're used to, and whoever gets the job would have to work with the existing squad, who are...

Nah, every promoted manager gets at least one second chance. Championship clubs would still be keen on him in future. Look at Hughton getting other jobs after being sacked by us. Every club in the Championship would take Potter given the necessary funds right now. Hell, several of them looked at...

Maybe "suggests" would have been better than "tells him what to do" :)

Yes. I mean no. You're right: it is confusing, isn't it?

Justin Bieber?

Nah, he's tending his marigolds while holding out for the Palace job come November.

This thread is bloody good for guessing the age of the contributors. I've ended up liking almost all of @Fignon's Ponytail's suggestions, for example.

Better even than Nessun Dorma as World Cup themes go :love:

Maybe big Shane could ride the horse to training next season, as it doesn't seem likely that he'll be driving.

At risk of being terribly boring, the word "arse" is only really a thing for us in the UK, as well as Ireland and maybe Australia/ NZ. Everyone else goes with "ass" so it stands to reason- if the researchers aren't from any of those places- that they wouldn't find anything remotely amusing...

Exactly that happened when we played City the other week. We have the ball out on the right, attacking the South Stand: flag goes up, ref stops play. City get the ball up the other end: no flag, they progress the attack, we have to try and get challenges in to stop them, risking injury or...
