So if Alan Shearer is going for the Cardiff job, does that make it more or less likely that he was interviewed for the Coventry vacancy? I'd imagine that they are a more attractive proposition than we are given the way that they are allowed to go bust every season without facing a penalty. Or...

13th at worst, with or without Aron, Phillips and Sunny. Based entirely on the hope that The Thorn Miracle was real and not just some strange dream I had last Spring. Oh, and SISU not flogging Sammy/Ben/Lukas for the first bid that comes along.

"It's the Shadow Line. It's where we walk". Sorry, been overdosing on BBC2 crime drama of late! :confused::facepalm::claping hands:

He means Morecambe. And I think you'll find he's probably the fastest player in our squad by some distance. I don't get it...ok he was rubbish versus Morecambe, but so was everyone else bar Hussey. Whenever I saw Roy for Sunderland he didn't look entirely out of his depth, and although he...

Mifsud wouldn't be that great in this style either-his first touch had deserted him and Championship defences had him entirely figured out: just stand off him whilst he knocks it 5 yards in front of himself to run onto, then take it off him. Simples. That or make a scary face and "grr!" noise...

I have absolutely zero idea what team you've been watching, but I'm amazed if it's Coventry City! Christ, last time I looked he was getting slagged off on here for going in too hard..he can't win in some peoples eyes, obviously. How about the fact that he's the best English RB in his age...

Earnshaw by a mile, but probably not realistic. Pace and proven goalscorer. We would not miss King one bit with this guy in our ranks. The others aren't close but I can see the merits of any of them. Nugent maybe, Le Fondre maybe, Harewood maybe. Harewood or Le Fondre are the most realistic IMO.

We had a sell-on clause for McSheffrey...

Looking again Nugent hasn't scored as many as I thought-one really good season at Preston. Strange that it earnt him an England call. He did look an awesome player for PNE, but less so at Pompey. He suffered from being played out wide a lot.

Didn't Harewood get a hatrick in Blackpools opening Premiership game last season? A bit old, but could do the job. Nugent has had a lot of stick from Pompey fans, but there's no denying that he is a top goalscorer at this level. His record is every bit as good as Kings is. I'd say he'd be that...

So, the manager who signed King resigned 24-48 hours later? I wonder how he feels now...Ha ha ha ha ha!

Yeah but if you believed everything in The Damned United, you'd assume that Bremner, Giles and Lorimer-3 of the greatest players in England in the 70's-had zero redeeming features and were simply selfish little arseholes. @Howzer (welcome btw-another of the CT Crew find sanctury!) I reckon...

That's what a forum is about though-having your say and your point of view. It's an entirely legit point of view, and one that it has been darn-near impossible to express up until now, so fair play for saying what you think about King Skyblueprincess. At this stage, he kinda deserves all he...

What, like showing up the fat kid in PE by making him do it with his top off? Mmm, it might make him shed a few pounds..but I'm not sure the F.A. would like the idea of us sticking his name and number onto bare flesh...might all be a bit horror-movieish.

Yeah I'd rather see a new signing or Sheff up top rather than Freddy. But I am open to him proving us wrong, and when fit he is a natural goalscorer. He just always got dropped or injured when going well and never got his confidence or fitness back. Each and every player at the club played...

Agree with everything he said. Marlon did miss some sitters towards the end, remember. It didn't get mentioned much as any criticism of King was always jumped on as being "ah, so you never wanted him here any way"! I know I always tippy-toed around the fact that he had a few ropey games, and...

Thanks for the pointer-player cam on Aron in effect, then! Apparantly Iceland hammered Germany 4-1 in the qualifiers, that's why they aren't at the competition. Good stuff. It was probably Thorn who spotted Gudmundsson for us, so I wouldn't worry-he'll find more! Sunny got a mention of the...

I've been anti-Brody until late but liked the cut of his jib tonight. I can see where he and Clouting are coming from on all of this. Not too sure about the phrase "Franchise Player" (ie "we will be looking to sign another Franchise Player to replace Marlon".) I follow American sports so I...

Talking of turning our backs-we could adopt The Poznan and do it everytime Juke scores as a tribute to his Polish heritage. He's still eligible for Poland, so it could help raise his profile there and get him an international call-up! And I reckon he's got 13+ goals in him next season under...

Would be great but we aren't at that level-he'd go to Wolves if he got the chance maybe, but Fulham to be re-united with Jol seems most likely.
