They are absolutely desperate for him to leave - he signed a new contract just before the end of the season(supposedly around £35k per week) - their thinking being it would get them a bigger fee. He joined guys like Arfield who is also on over £30k per week. It’s brilliant. Someone was saying...

God love them - they’ll have to take down the big plastic Hummel sign at their newly refurbished training centre. Surely they can’t go back to calling it Murray Park. Surely. I suppose it could be worse - Lee Wallace has left so they won’t have to worry about the world class breakfasts.

And it was all so heartfelt. Even although some of them were better with the autocue than others.

I know, sometimes I can’t help myself and have to take a look at what the poor little lambs are having to endure. In all seriousness, - they are a disgrace, from top to bottom. They give it out all day long but when someone like Mike Ashley stands up to them they are flapping all over the...

God we were on our knees when Liam Brady took over. As you know, - we didn’t have much money, so what we did have we had to spend well. He only goes and gives us bloody Stuart Slater, and Gary Gillespie.

George Connelly or Johnny Doyle for me. Connelly looked incredible in the clips I’ve seen. And Johnny Doyle just sounds like the salt of the earth. I’d prefer to have went to a game with him, then a pint afterwards.

Agree with the sentiment guys. Well said. John Keane, Brian Dempsey, Fergus, and Dermot Desmond, who some don’t appreciate, - these guys stood up/walked the walk. It’s easy to judge, find fault, and look for motives, but I don’t think any of these guys wanted the recognition(unlike the...

That was the thing about Rodgers, - he said one thing, then did something else. Absolute shyster. He said over and over that he wasn’t interested in trophies/records, - that he was only about improving/coaching the players. Like some sort of Good Samaritan. He was a good coach, - he was also...

There’s nothing worse than a tease James - can you not just tell us and put allegedly in front of it? All I’ve heard is he was truly awful, - to the point that the players could scarcely believe that we had signed him in the first place. Surely if he had been guilty of anything, that let’s...

Rogic at his best is almost unplayable, the issue is his injuries, and the fact he seems to spend half his life in Australia/playing for them. Ability wise he’s probably our best player but if he’s only playing 50% of the games you have to reassess. He was given a brilliant contract last...

I’d be delighted with this. I think the fee(£7/£8 million) sounds a bargain. Good centre halfs are probably the toughest position to fill. You’ve got Harry McGuire who’s the same age as Jullien moving for anything up to £80 million. Mats Hummels who is 30, just moved for over £30 million...

It sounds like total frustration/desperation on the part of WBA. After just missing out on promotion, they have Burke going back and no-one knows how to handle him/what his best position. It’s their fault they spent £15 million on him, not ours, and certainly not Neil Lennon’s. He had to be...

I don’t really have a problem with the kid taking his time, it’s a huge decision, - I also wouldn’t be surprised if his agent is making him more confused by the day. My main problem is Lawwell(in general) - he should have been getting on with other deals/signing deals off, while all this was...

I’d be interested in finding out if Dermot Desmond is involved in this, possibility as exasperated as the rest of us with Lawwell. Hammond has a great record with young players, especially young Irish players, and it is an open secret that Desmond is always wanting more players from Ireland...

Yeah I agree that whoever we go for can’t be a yes man and has to be allowed to put in his own ideas. For me this is where Dermot Desmond has to put his foot down and tell Lawwell to know his place. This window is another example of poor planning. Peter Lawwell has to control everything, but...
