if he goes for any less than 90m it's a buckle of epic proportions

So nothing from us stating a value then.

You really don't get it do you?

It's not about the money. It's about us being in a position to potentially win a place in Europe and not wanting to have our squad pulled apart and weaken our chances of at least trying to achieve something we've never done before.

Our best chance of doing that is holding onto MC until the summer. Not rocket science.
 
He plays the right style for you guys so would make sense, but will see where we are in a year or two.
He’s been in charge for a dozen games …QPR the first top half team you’ve beaten. Let’s take it easy before anointing him PL manager

After all the hoo-haa they just cant sell him now or they'll look a bit silly. Tell him to suck it up and get them into europe.

Then theyll just take less in the summer and he'll get his move.

Where did I say he was? I said he played the right style.
 
If we lost our manager and it was a choice between LR and Marsch I'd rather take our chances with LR every time.
It's also not just the "one win against top half" he's entirely transformed the club, the style of play and attitude. He's a brilliant tactician who has a big future in the game, hopefully with us.

Let's see how this plays out

Sells for less than 100m and I'm not sure what the bigger joke is, your melt or your clubs will power

Which is what we've said all along yet post after post of tears. Imagine if they do sell.

That's why he was so highly rated with us.

Went from the playing squad to the coaching staff as soon as he retired as it was obvious from the get go he wouldn't stay an assistant for very long.

Have you ever finished above us in the football league?

Good chance this season to do it, but serious question. Ever?


We finished above you in the 1906/7 season. Then in 1910 we won the FA Charity shield.

Glory days.

Maybe you should also look up the concept of a don't want to sell price.

Glass houses.
You irrationally, and often rather deluded in doing so, melt about THFC every single week.

Mostly for overblown or inaccurate reasons

We've been in constant decline for years since the CL final to the point clubs like Brighton have caught us. Onto our 3rd manager post Poch, likely a 4th next year. Would say the decline to melt ratio is avg to above avg

Potter, whine, bitch, moan, call him s**t.

Cucarella, whine bitch moan, call him s**t.

Trossard, whine, bitch, moan, call him s**t.

Caicedo, whine, bitch, moan. Wonder what happens next.
First two are correct though

What's crazy is that if any young footballer shows an ouce of potential, they are always immediately worth 100 million :D
Even the ones that don't like Gordon it is at least half that

We’ve risen from an average table position under Lord Sugar of 10.5 to 6.1 under ENIC.

The decline in the last 5 years is merely moving back to the mean after 3-4 seasons of punching above our weight.

Ergo more delusional melting.
