Need someone to actually make a bid for him first, though.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get another season (or half season) from Murphy. I'm assuming, though, that McCall has targets in mind should that happen. As long as we don't let him go in the last hour before the window closes, of course.

You would say that though, "postie" Jim, even if it hadn't arrived

Wikipedia explains all.

Straying off topic, but I just hope we don't have to read "McCall, the former Rangers player.....", "McCall, the ex Bradford Gaffer...." etc. on every official site report this season. I lost count of how many times that happened last season. It's bad enough in the media, we don't really need it on our club web site.

I think it was just 'Flow trying to sound like a real journalist

Saw this on the official site. Didn't realise the club was now reporting rumours about their own manager's potential signings!

Ah, gotcha. In which case I already answered. Initially, at least, take over day to day running.

I'd like about 100 million so I knew that losing my investment would be insignificant. 20 million. 10 million directly to the club and 10 million invested in a diverse portfolio that the club could draw on an as-needed basis (where 'as-needed' would be at my, as Chairman's, discretion). Not sure what you mean with this question If I won 166 mil, I'd maybe up my investment to 40 million or so and make the running of the club my full time job. I'd like to see Fir Park repaired rather than a move to a new ground. Investment in year-round training facilities. Look to sign players on 3 year contracts with, maybe, an increase in salary structure to bring in a few higher quality players (but nothing crazy). Continue to develop the youth teams' infrastructure. Continue to invest in local community programmes.

9000 seats is fine, but we'll need terracing for another 6000 or so for when we finally get the rules changed back As for the pitch, laying a new one won't guarantee that it holds up to the weather in winter. Remember Fir Park used to be like a bowling green until we built the new stands.

No idea, but this article from April suggests that Spurs are at least open to the idea of letting him sign for another club. EDIT: fixed link

That's 2 of us in the "No to summer football" camp then. 16 teams, play each other twice, winter break. Easy.

But "Summer Football ™" is the cure for all ills in the SPL and guaranteed to fill each ground to the brim every weekend. No?

When I was I student, there weren't any concessions for us on the season tickets, so some of the proceeds from my summer job had to be used. I understand the argument about today's prices not being value for money, but don't see what the club can do to plug the gap between concessions and full price.

The guy's only 28. If he can stay clear of injury there's plenty of football left in him yet at the Championship or even EPL level.

Not quite. He was a decent guy who got offered a better job (or what seemed like one). Didn't tell everyone he wanted a new job the day after he joined, and didn't tell anyone he was staying just before he left. Tam Cowan did a great interview with him a few years ago.

Magic. The first "you can't comment because you live in the US" post of the 2011/12 season.

Nah, I didn't say he was shit. He's obviously a gifted player that I enjoyed watching (although you could argue whether or not he made the most of that gift during his years at Everton in particular). I'm just saying I'd enjoy watch a new Faddy exploding onto the scene more than watching the old Faddy.

I know I'm in a significant minority with this opinion, but I don't want Faddy back. Much rather be developing the next generation.

Maybe set up a franchise team in Airdrie?

Yes. Ask me another.

Gow could pass a ball (at least someimtes) - which immediately rules him out of the running.

Only if he was responsible for the script.

Not in a legal sense, which is the entire context of this discussion. Which also goes to prove my point i.e. it's context that is important.

Pure guess, but my money would be on: Nicky Law signs Jennings give a nothing interview about how he wants to stay at the club but is still weighing up his options before he decides his future. You read it here first. Don't waste your pennies on the Express.
