Makes sense though as the increasing blinds and antes mean that your chips are going to trend downwards if you remain inactive so any gains get eroded and any losses get exacerbated.

Woohoo, name change required Good News Bear

Not now as that is the expected outcome.

If I were in Swan Red's position and having read that interview I would consider the £100 gone, in effect Molby's money not mine. Therefore if Suarez stays, it is worth £200 to me.

More like 'I want to receive the loyalty bonus that is in my contract and I am definitely not asking for a transfer'

I agree with your first sentence but disagree with the second. He lead the line at Bolton and did a great job and thus far he has lead the line great for us. Yes, he makes mistakes but he is still young. Unless we are buying a ready made top drawer striker I don't see why we would be looking to replace him. I have seen no evidence of him being injury prone since he came here just rotated out of form, when he got a run he was very very good.

I don't care how he fits in the formation - go get him Brendan, we need lots more good players now.

Is Sturridge any worse than Defoe, Adebayor, Giroud, Podolski, Ba or Torres? He's in that group for me, plenty good enough for a top 4 challenge.

If we hadn't signed Coutinho I would be a lot more worried about Luis leaving. Coutinho and Sturridge are a very good 9 & 10. Taking Suarez out maybe we should build around that instead. Spend the £40m complementing what we have got rather than trying to replace Luis.

f***ing pragmatism is all I need at the moment.

True, but putting clauses into contract facilitates those circumstances and that is what is f***ing me off.

Is he worth less than Torres was when we sold him?

Pepe has done his time, waited around and now Barca are coming calling. He's gone, don't blame him a jot.

The best thing about this idea would be Ayre's face as he is shown the door.

It's f*** all nowadays, probably half what he was on at City. Fantastic signing, he's got 4 years in the tank probably.

One where we won a trophy, were in two cup finals, and within a realistic shot of the top 4 until van Persie stepped up. We fell off a cliff, but there were tangible reasons why it could happen. I trusted Kenny to see this and fix the problems.

Re Brendan, I thought I did, if he can win 11 of 14 at some point next season like Arsenal just did, then I am very much in. Re FSG, they will be lucky, Brendan won't. It might seem unfair but IMO sacking Kenny and hiring Brendan was an unbelievably stupid decision. I suppose if they back him and bring in the right players then that part wont be luck but hiring a winning manager would have been.

It is their fault because they sacked Kenny, to sack Kenny and replace him with an inexperience manager is a ridiculous decision. Sometimes people make s*** decisions and get lucky. I don't feel obliged to give those people any credit for their decisions. No, because I didn't think Kenny's end of season was anything other than the players focussing on stuff they could win over stuff they couldn't. Kenny's signings were attrocious BUT he earned another season to put it right. If I had wanted Kenny gone then yes I would have wanted Rafa back as he would be the best man for the job IMO.
