It's a tough job but someone has to try to keep looking over their half full glass with rose coloured glasses...

Somaro or asino doesn't have the same connotations in Italian. It's used to call someone stupid...an ass...

Or is it a case of, the manager gives a list of people he is interested in or positions to reinforce to the chairman/ board etc and they do the negotiating. I suspect managers don't deal with the minutiae of the deals, so perfectly plausible that he wouldn't know much more than a deal is near or a no go.

Manager and Hector to be announced shorty...fingers crossed.

I don't know if it's been mentioned (and I can't be bothered to read back through all the thread ). Three new companies were incorporated on Friday the 21st, Sheffield2limited, Sheffield3limited and Sheffield4limited...DC listed as director and the ground as the address for all three. No sure of any significance but I'm guessing it has to be linked to the addition shares some how...

Sadly I've been there as well. Well done to the club in this situation!

I went to that as well...I think Grobbelaar was in goal for them.

Do we have a manager? Thought he was head coach....maybe a manager comes in above him?

Isnt the railway the tracks? So the station is surely a place for the train to stop (become stationary?). So got to be a train station ;)

Franco Baresi was only 5'9"...he was an ok central defender (said with tongue firmly in cheek!)

Well said Sally! Totally agree with your sentiments.

You took the words out of my mouth! Too many seem to be looking for negatives in every little thing the club does at the moment. DC seems to be trying to put things in place to move forward...how many have on here have said we need a CEO or similar? We now have one with experience, time will tell if this will be a good appointment or not. As the OP says give her a chance before sharpening the pitchforks! Things can and will improve, this is not the end....the sky is not falling down! The negativity has to change, the atmosphere at the match on Monday was toxic, even before a ball was kicked. The hatred towards some of the players is sickening. A fan screaming that someone should break Wallace's leg in training is beyond belief!

It was looking like he was warming up yesterday, until Hunt got injured. As we were chasing the game I would have still thrown him on and gone to 3 at the back.

Doesn't Villas-Boas fit that description?

Is that a feeling or based on insider knowledge?
