I read the comments so I figure I would post some thoughts and a little game and only one rumour.


First thought. I feel that to pay nearly 500/ 600K to get this Portuguese Coach released fron his contract that only tells me he requires a hefty paycheck. Possibly more than previous 3 con merchants we had employed.

Second thought. I feel we are going with this guy because he will be able to secure maybe some cheap overseas talent that we could sell on and possibly play in the league. I think, Ronald and Franks transfer budget would be petty commanding each year something at the moment we can keep up due to no money and no control on merchandise sales.

Third thought. I think it would be good to give Murty the position of number 2. He has done a great job with youth and albeit he has been thrown to the lions den with the group of players he has at his disposal. But he knows the club and we should back him.

Fourth Thought. (Joey Barton) Just maybe Joey Barton called everyone out at the club and caught onto the antics of con merchants coaching . To be fair on Barton he is played at the highest level and been coached by great coaches and he is always included in every teamsheet unless he does something stupid. I feel given time this story will evolve more. Something clearly not right here, paid off to keep quiet.

Fifth thought. Game time! As many of you probably play football manager. If you were the manager and you had some limited funds who would you buy. One solid defender. One solid Midfielder One goal scorer. Keep it realistic. Name 3-4 players use you football manager scouts to see what you can get. As we have no scouts maybe we can lend them a hand.

The only rumour I have been told is that I have heard Gattusso and Ferguson. With DOF in charge.

Haven't played FB manager for a while lol i'd try big berra for CB free in summer also like jamie walker not the hammer thrower we need but gets box to box and scores goals in our league! Natural goalscores are hard to come by but still, like what I've seen from moult at motherwell this season! They 3 along with another dozen :-D

Point 4 is way off. You think after 4 or so weeks Barton sussed it all out and started to throw his weight around. No chance, he's a ned end of, I wish people would just accept he was in no position to open his mouth. Bartons highest level was a long time ago and he's only had a couple of games thus far in the EPL. He is no superstar.

In the good ole days before FM, I was in my early 20s playing football in Slough and the boss was a Scot. He played 4-3-3 (no, it's not a recent invention) and he said, 'What I need in the middle is a good yin, a hard yin and a fast yin. The hard yin helps the defenders, the good yin makes the play and the fast yin joins in with the centre forward. The wingers need to be able to cross it and to join in the attacks, and I dinnae care if the centre spends maist o' the game pickin' fluff oot his arse as long as he scores a hat-trick. That's his job. Defenders mark men and win tackles and maybe hurt a few people but not deliberate, like. '
We won 31 games in a trot in a really tough league.
