SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!!

Time for a bit of player power from Tiny!!  Despite what is suggested on My Football Writer, Brum cannot sell Tiny to QPR without his consent, cos if he refuses to sign a contract with QPR he isnt their player.  If he definitely doesnt want to live in London and is such a family man, and knows we are still interested he can insist on a deal with us a la Hucks.  Seems to me a bit of game of chicken, see just how much Brum want to get rid of Taylor once we get to the 2nd/3rd week of January.  If we can get him for the next 2 or 3 years then a few weeks of waiting may be worthwhile.

What a load of bull.  How would having a coaching team of Seaman, Shearer, etc (wow what coaching experience they have between them!) give pride in being English, particularly when we probably go and fail to qualify for another major championship! I have no problem with a foreign coach as long as there is no other alternative, and there isnt one English coach I would trust with the national job at the moment.  The only ''British'' coaches worthwhile are O''Neill and Hughes, and neither would want it at the moment. Taking that into account, we want the best available, and that is most definitely Capello.  Plenty of countries have foreign coaches, including Russia and Poland who are GOING to Euro 2008.

Update on the Coventry position, seems likely that they will avoid administration by the skin of their teeth http://iccoventry.icnetwork.co.uk/0300coventrycity/0100news/tm_headline=coventry-city-takeover-to-go-to-the-wire%26method=full%26objectid=20248915%26page=1%26siteid=50003-name_page.html

[quote user="pete_norw"]I think we will see a difference when we play Bury, Iknow its a cup match but its not an important match and we will may well see about 14.000 if we are lucky, but I will be one of them[/quote]   sorry pete but if there is only 14,000 for 3rd round cup tie then i''ll be bloody surprised!!!!!!!

Would be good if we could get this James Brown as part of some kind of link up.  It is very positive to get young players out on loan and playing 1st team football, particularly with the farce that is reserve football!

Lets hope it works 1st Wizard, the difference that Tiny has made to our defence is almost immeasurable. You could see why he doesnt want to extend his stay at the moment, wants to try and prove himself at Birmingham to the new manager, but if we can show how much we want him here and with the team turning the corner he could be persuaded, you never know.

OMG dont tell me the FA might actually get something right for once!!!!!

  Oh god dont remind me about the Portsmouth bell, one of the most annoying things in the world [:@]!!  The one good thing about them getting promoted is not having to listen to it any more [<:o)]. If as you say the atmosphere at Carrow Road is good already, we dont need our own Norwich band, leave it to clubs who need to create atmosphere like Sheff Wed.

  David Nugent??

Cannot help in our position but hope that Coventry do go into administration, although I do think we will get out of it ourselves as long as January goes well. Even if we are owed money on the McKenzie deal, isnt it right that football creditors get paid in full still when administration occurs?  Isnt it just non-football creditors who get screwed with 1p in the pound!

  The amount of goals he has scored so far this year, taking into account the rubbish served up until the last week, I think is quite admirable. I''m still disappointed that he didnt dye his hair green again for the derby, perhaps he is saving it for return fixture?  

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2641675.stm Just had to share this lovely opinion piece with everyone.  Think the beeb journo got things a little bit wrong, but good to see our current on loan CB should really now be playing for England!!
