Or Redknapp, Strachan, Clough ...... Ferguson is common mind .....

The other rumour is that Hodgson allegedly won't play him due to his displeasure at Johnson's alleged personal problems and subsequent alleged super injunction In reality he's probably finally looked in a mirror, discovered his stylist is out of the country and won't be seen in public until he's done something about his hair ...... Or he could just be injured

Isn't that the number of games he's injured for?

Health insurance? He's visibly aging by the second .........

Has anyone got any info that Dwight Schar is actually associated with Mill Financial? Is there anything on the web? Is there anything to associate Mill and Springfield Financial either? All I've seen is reports saying Schar is involved with them and Springfield etc but they don't seem to have a website so where is this information coming from?

Wasn't that what Huang had said as well? Coincidence?

Because of the Broughton / Diamond (BarCAp) / Red Sox NESV links making it a closed shop?

Is Mill backed by the Chinese then? Or is it just the Redksins co-owner?

Yeah I spotted that as well ...

Keep up Mike, last year was the players fault, this year it's the manager's.

Would it not be the case that the £100m was required by RBS before they would offer longer term re-finance. Given that the Yanks would not accept the Rhone offer the conditions then changed to a full sale with a temporary extension of the existing loan until October.

Done

Think Tosh is right ..... it's all very cryptic .... is the secret email ring back in action then? I predict endless nudges, winks and oh aren't we clever type posts to follow shortly ............

Why would he be concerned with that? If true, doesn't it provide further evidence that the board are able to - and indeed did - block the Americans from re-financing, confirming the article from Bascombe?

i think people are ignoring the the impact the World Cup has had on players being available - is it just me or is it more significant this season (for all clubs) then previously? I wasn't overly delighted with Hodgson as manager, mainly because I feel his philosophy (and often execution) is too similar to both Rafa's and GH's, but you can't really judge him on games played so far until the full side is available for each game. The transfers have not excited me so far but how much is pending on the sale of Masch and / or the takeover, so again we can only judge by the end of the window. The loan of Aquilani seems strange but may allow for a loan signing or free the wages to allow for an additional striker. If it is a purely cost cutting move then thats no more Hodgsons fault as it was Rafa's ... that's all down to the two sh*ts we have as owners.

An Overview of the Rules ....... Cobs beat me to it! <..... Removed ......>

To be fair to Elisha it could well be that we agreed terms with Crouch but then could not agree (or have not yet agreed) terms with Spurs.

I've seen Dirk in there and a colleague saw Aquilani and Degen a couple of weeks ago ......

I wonder what happened to the £60m that was supposedly put to one side for the stadium for this purpose..........

Wouldn't it be Macia making the recommendations?

It all depends on whether it's the managers decision to sell or not - the implication is that it isn't. Unfortunately with the amount of rumour and vitriol emanating on all sides it's impossible to know fact from fiction at the moment.

Whatever happened to JamesA - "Log" came from him didn't it?

I thought I'd read that somewhere as well - has it been confirmed anyway or is it just conjecture?

Purslow generated PR after the gaffes around "I haven't asked about transfer funds" and "I'm not interested in the ownership I leave that to other people". I expect something about how much he wants to beat Utd and Everton to follow soon following his comments about his best mate Ferguson. For all his comments about how great the club and the fans are, and for such a supposed intelligent and media savvy man he's getting his soundbites wrong as often as he's getting it right.
