I agree I can't see much happening, think a new striker may come in if Sakho isn't going to play again but maybe it'll be Martinez who's promoted
The main 2 positions I think the club will be looking at adding to is a DM or a CB but as mentioned only one that'll be an improvement which will be pretty slim pickings judging by previous January windows
not to see Slav there in our dug out, u can only live in hope that Mr Moyes will suit our needs....
;scarf
I’ll back him and hope he’s a success just like any other manager, for me right now it’s like going back to the SA appointment.
He’s got a decent squad, maybe a little unbalanced but proven players that have kept clean sheets, run games and scored goals previously
Not sure any of us would come out too well if someone could be bothered to do a forensic analysis of the various things we said up to 10 years ago...
Just my opinion but she should keep quiet and so should Sully as well.
I can't see that it says that in her bio. ;hmm
I'd say any employee who isn't bothered about what the CEO thinks of them is heading for problems.
It's only boasting if you can't do it.
Lady Karren Brady CBE is one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world and has travelled the globe inspiring and motivating audiences. She has, for the past decade been considered as one of the best speakers in the world on a range of topics that leave audiences inspired and motivated.
I think they qualify as boastful as they are completely subjective, who would she be considered one of the best speakers in the world by? does she leave the audiences inspired and motivated? It's only an opinion but I think she comes across awfully within the newspaper column, the apprentice and her website.
The reason I don't feel Slav or Moyes will worry to much about her is I don't get the impression she has too much to do with the manager but rather the running of other things. I get the impression out of the three Sully has most to do with the manager, team and signings. I may be wrong as it was a time back but I do seem to recall her being sceptical of Grants appointment, but I think she is just an opinion rather than a decision maker. I think they know they must manage Sully and get him on side but not so much Brady, I could be wrong.
Why would you assume they are her words?
It's the. standard kind of puff you'd see on any promotional site.
It might all be nonsense, but no worse than most if it is.
I honestly don't get the animus towards her.
There is no real animosity towards her, it's not like I am posting each day with a diatribe against her ( I actually quite liked her in the beginning ), it was purely in response to a previous poster remarking about her earlier in the day, I haven't started a post or anything. She is someone who has placed herself into the public eye, and my comments were expressing an opinion on how she comes across to me within the platforms of her role in the apprentice, her newspaper column and her website. The way she comes across is not a way that I tend warm to, quite the opposite in fact.
I really appreciate the way you run the forum Grey and I have gone on record about that, I think it makes it what it is but I hope you wont take offence if I say that sometimes I think you just have to accept someone is expressing their view, and sometimes our views are instinctive. Not every post needs questioning. Your responses seem unnecessarily combative, your first question of why would you presume these are her words? seems unnecessary, as it would mean we were not assuming that websites are the owners own words or carefully reviewed which again would seem reasonable and just feels a little like you wanted to argue for the sake of it. I do remember the UKIP leader who claimed he had no input to his website but I don't think anyone believed him. I can understand if you were asking why I held the view I do, or even stating an alternative view but I feel you have confronted and challenged the opinion in an unnecessarily combative way, and I think as I haven't left much line of attack of my view open you have presented my comments as containing animosity as a finish, which I think if you re-read they are quite hard to find that in. I like that posts are questioned on here as otherwise these forums become silly, and yourself, and a few others no doubt, ensure it stays a first class forum, but in my view sometimes you could just let a reply be a reply. ;ok
I didn't intend the animus comment towards you, but in general.
I didn't intend to come across as 'combative'.
Anyone on here has the right to post their opinion within site rules and, equally, others are free to disagree.
I intended nothing personal in my replies
