Fair points, Guinness, la. I suspect much may depend on how much of a watching brief they've kept already. They might prefer to stay low key for a while until they decide the timing is right to step in big style. But, what am I thinking?! They're Yanks! They'll want to make an explosion, they'll want razzmatazz & dancing gals, they'll want Mom's apple pie & moonshine. Oh yes, indeedy, my malenky malchiks.

That's the thing, I don't want to generalise but I don't get the impression that many super rich Americans would want to come in and be fairly quiet until January (and we'll still be a bit tight in terms of what we can do under FFP then on the playing side). I imagine they'll want to come in and show that they aren't f***ing about. If I was putting money on it I'd say Ross is going

There might be a betting market for that, marra. I don't touch manager markets after I put a fairly hivvy back bet on Keane to be our manager on Betfair at around 40/1. It was looking good & shortened reet in till Quinn appointed hissel fer a few (disastrous) games, me bet went South, Keane came in & ye nar the rest! Great days!

I've been given a name that, if I posted, would instantly lose me any credibility I have.

I've bookmarked it elsewhere so I can post the proof if it actually happens.

I can't give any clues cos the clever bastards, on here, would work it out :lol:

I have followed your post with great interest. From one old pit village lad to another...Thanks for taking the time to post and good luck with the interview.
 
I wonder if this was the real reason behind the postponement of the Burton game, with the international crack presenting itself as a convenient smokescreen? Anyway, I'm off. Beauty sleep deficit of about 20 years, although HMS Handsome sailed many moons agan....

I've turned down 2 cracking opportunities this week and we haven't really worked since we parted company with Mr Tonna months ago.

This thing tomorrow is an American who wants a Manor house, he's bought, looking after.

He's only able to visit for a maximum of 3 months a year so it could be good ...

.... indoor pool anarl :lol:
