We are to slow with this bullshit going on. If we were a settled club then maybe we could have bagged a couple of world class players....typical city, pisses me right off, but still have hope as usual!

Thaksin avoided the Sven Question the other day, i'm slowly coming to the conclusion that Sven will be staying as this is just all silly, somthing would have been said by now it's stupid just drawing this on and on.

Come on mate, calm down. Realistically we know nothing about what is going on behind the scenes. We could well be completely settled for all we know. People post rumours, And plenty of people know "friends of friends", and while they are acting on all good faith probably less than 10% will be true. We may have been linked with players who then sign for other clubs but they would have probably have signed for them anyway. The appeal of London is huge for a foreign player so we are always behind the 8 ball there. I would not think that we are missing massive signings atvtje
moment. Tbd we may miss one of two but looking at the facts we are a club with a contracted manager and I have yet to see an official statement that says something else. Sit tight, we won't have missed anyone. The big merry go round always happens after the euros anyway.

Jo will be next to slip through the net and he is a great player. Samir Nasri is another we should have signed and its fooked up. Nashat Akram is another player i so wanted and the fookers wont give him a visa. Its just so fucking messed up and im not having it.

Well we signed castillo on a loan with no assurance of a signing. That was always the deal. Just chill a bit, it'll all work out.

Im drunk etc and just a wee bit pissed off about the treatment of our club, how them fookers get away with it is beyond me. I so much want us to be in the champions league where we belong....i hope Thaksin wants this but its dragging on beyond a joke.

Dunno whether this will unsettle people or what, but Mexico have said they will hope to have Sven in place by Monday...

Could be a blessing in disguise. It'd mean Frank would have to pick his arse up and sort out a gaffer with European experience that isn't called Steve McLaren pretty fuckin sharpish!!!

To be fair it has probably all been decided behind the scenes so Sven will know whether he's being sacked or not and so accordingly Thaksin will either be pursuing players independently of Sven, pursuing players on Sven's recommendation (if he's staying) or pursuing players based on a new manager's wishes.

Either way I don't think he's stupid enough to not be proceeding in attempting to sign new players although I will agree that putting on a better show of unity would serve the dual purpose of helping to entice new players and persuading the ones we have to not pack their bags. At the very least it's what the fans deserve.

nashat not getting a visa is not the clubs fault. the other 2 are pure speculation in the papers
