    This is how I feel more or less.

    One thing I would add is we need to accept the reality that players and managers move now more than ever. Like you, it's not that I want out manager poached every two years, but I think we should embrace it and try and take advantage of it rather than act surprised and be unprepared.

    I actually have some (hopefully not misplaced) confidence that Nicholson has not been caught out here and has a plan for this eventuality.

    Nah don’t be silly, you talk utter pish.

    Now trying to change the goal posts.

    Again go back to all my points on this situation and not the first reply you made to me regarding the wages, which you had a sly condescending dig and then the other one as well which showed your true colours.

    But Naw you won’t.

    Don’t bother replying with more pish.

    None of us knew before the cup final.

    The players clearly did, you can tell.

    So you saying you knew before the cup final he was going?

    So to be clear..

    I've fully replied to some of your posts.

    You called me a *, a bawbag and said "cheerio".

    But I've to go back through all your recent posts on this thread and individually reply to all your points.

    But it's me who's changing the goalposts? :97:


    ----

    By the way, see on the wages thing, which I think is your real issue here, you need to get over that buddy. All I indirectly said is we shouldn't be believing a made-up rumour like that and ever since you've absolutely wet the bed. Get a grip. :50:

    Although Rodgers is a snake, he didn't (as far as we know) try and take any of our big stars with him..

    Be interesting to see if Ange does.

    I didn't say he initiated them. I said his agent has been manoeuvring to get his name in the door and in the hat. That's what agents do, the fact THS sporting director is a friend of Ange is also being massively overlooked here.

    He came to us because it was a way in to the EPL, that's all we have ever been. Fair enough and fair play but he hasn't been transparent about it.

    I knew as soon as I watched his pre match interview on bbc. The players have been around him all week, if I can pick up how shifty he was being sitting on my couch watching him through the tv, you honestly think the players didn't? They're no daft.

    May I add that he come with no Euro coaching licences either, it's almost like he come as a loan to get a visa (but in his case his coaching badge)

    I'm kinda in the opposite camp here depending on who comes in.

    I wouldn't be against him taking a few guys with him, if it suits the new manager.

    Obviously if he lays a finger on CCV I'll be * fuming.

    Just hope we don't end up like Ajax. They've had a disaster since Ten Hag went

    I believe the board knew weeks ago he was off, they might have had a part in what he did and didn't say to the media.

    I also think it is probably linked to the big statement about not extending renewals this year. We would still sell out regardless, however corporatons like to load all the bases.

    I totally believe all parties knew the end game except us daft fans.

    Move this to World Football already, he's well away Spurs or no Spurs I think even if they knocked him back the situation is untenable now.
