Can't rule out that Smith and Shakespeare wouldn't get poached back to the Premier League. Relegation would hardly be blamed on them.

Shakespeare is a pro too. A good double act, like the old days

isn't the crucial point cashflow? Aren't these fees paid in installments?

Doesn't want to be here. Where he hails from is irrelevant: it doesn't make him more obliged than any others to play for one club. Let him go, preferably after a loan puts him in the shop window as he's been forgotten outside Norfolk

My concern is that I would be paying for content re-circulated from publications I have already paid for or which are free.

If a replacement is lined up, 2 deals could be done in a day but I think Dean Smith could still be the solution to the Cantwell dilemma.

Dean Smith exudes confidence as seen in every post match interview. This must spread to his players, some of whom would not have been his choice when they were signed. It makes the Cantwell situation more curious- it was noticeable that when listing players coming back in the Sky post match interview, Cantwell was not included in the list.

Isn't he on supplementary benefits yet, or whatever it's called now for the rest of the working population who don't turn up for work? Or does this absurd company keep shelling out the funds it could use to survive to no shows?

"Nett spend..." don't you see that is exactly why NCFC are now regarded as freeloaders? Protecting a feudal ownership. Jordan is so right

Surprised he didn't get snapped up by a Championship club. At least we are spared seeing him getting one promoted and surviving in the PL.

The pre-season starts here. Give Dean Smith a go

Twinkle in the eye might be " I dodged a bullet by not signing that one for Villa".

building from the roots up? I thought we'd dug them up and sold them.

The credibility of Mr Webber may have been damaged. The credibility of the club certainly has. What is the nett worth now of the players signed under him, and retained by him for this season?

Well blust me! I had good lernin at Watton Sec Mod and King's LynnTech and I ent ever heard of em. And we ent got nun on the M25 at Heathrow so I wunder how they is gettin orn?

What, pray is a bat bridge?

I do remember the chant: "the cushuns are gorn on!!" followed by a volley of cushions hurled onto the Carrow Road pitch in response to a bad ref decision. The cushions were withdrawn in an attempt to discourage bad behaviour, only for the chant to be replaced by "the cushuns aren't gorn on, you c**t. I blame it all on a cushionless experience.

Good posts on here. Tighter in defence. So are we saying it is fixable in January? A clinical finisher and proven goal scorer? Who?

Players have forced out managers for decades- as far back , spectacularly as Clough at Leeds. Nonsense to believe they will play their best for whoever is in charge.

Just need it in the net

shop window?

Just asking, but has there ever before been just 2 letters difference in the names of a Premier League club owner and the chief coach?

The answer? 1. Upgrade the facilities. Done. 2. Upgrade the division. Done. 3. Upgrade the flogging of the silverware. Done. 4. Upgrade the yo yo function. Done. 5. Upgrade the ownership. To be done. 6. Upgrade the funding. To be done. 7. Upgrade the management. To be done. 8. Upgrade the airport for European trips. To be done. 9. Upgrade the trophy cabinet. To be done. 10. Upgrade the scampi. To be done.

The assumption here is that both Lampard and Smith are keeping the club waiting.Surely, the reverse could be true

how can we be inspired by someone whose name we can't remember?
