Strange career move by MON IMO who I thought was destined for bigger things after Villa. However, if he keeps them up, which I think as every chance of doing, then he is pretty much guranteed a large pot of cash to strengthen the squad and I think that West Ham will only prosper with O'Neill in charge. However, this is about the third season, West Ham are fighting relegation so it may take a bit of time for O'Neill to change the mindset of the team.

 

But as with McGhee/Brown, it's amazing what a bit of organisation and man management can do!

The alleged theory behind the choice of west ham is that it's the largest club he I would be in complete charge in. Hence why they ditched the Sidwell deal.

MON will have total sir fergie/clough style charge and in return west ham get him. Seems very strange, but more sensible than inidian chicken farmers, ronalindho and Blackburn, I suppose?!

Until it's written down in black and white you forget how weak our squad is after a few shitty injuries/suspendstions.

Still, home match, solid at the back, and a cheeky Vernon goal will do.

Ps congrats above

Nae body at home? Someone fire up football manager and get his stats up!

Welcome aboard loon, good luck up here

Signed a new contract with Rovers until 2013 I see today.

Aaaahhh, I assume this was causing the delay in the decision about how far north he is coming.

So we getting or nae till the end of the season? If so I assume Paton will be heading for a loan?

Bit lost here. Are they referring to the split, or TV money breakdown?

TV money breakdown, or unfair distribution of tv pesetas. The vast majority of Spanish fans want and English/bskyb style breakdown. Whereas at the moment la liga is basically a 2 game final played by messi vs c.ronaldo.

Well done the Biffy! Home draw, lower league opposition and old firm together. Can't ask for any more than that.

A year delay at the respective planning permission levels, then a rather large weight round our necks till eurolmillions o'clock.

So March - November football? Our teams that make it past Christmas have a hard enough time as it is without having to play big European games on little match practice.

This is where the bitter pill needs to be swallowed. We take the pill now, accept that the champions league ain't coming north soon. Boost the whole game grass roots etc and see what happens.

From a purely personal point of view I would watch more live fitba, junior and senior, on a summer day.

Yes, there is a chance it would fail, but fuck it, I think there is more to win than lose.

Aye, the worrying trend is that more of the big teams around europe want it. the old firm price split, Big banners at deportivo and a few other Spanish grounds saying "We don't want no SPL" (picture was in the guardian yesterday)

Great British movies, They Would Be King (1975). Stars sirs Connery and Caine waltzing off to the Afghan to become rulers. An enjoyable film made with a script and acting. Not cgi and 3-d.

I will wait until I see actual comments before commenting. Will no doubt be the fat postie twisting Broons words to sell the morns fish paper.

Surely Martin O'Neil and his magic trampoline will have rolled up somewhere by the weekend. And Abramovich will be sharpening his sickle as we speak.....

Don't tell me Broon is going to try this too 

As long as he is only trying it in closed doors games I have no issue 

Clearly they aren't going to listen to fans so I say fuck it, let's shut everyone else out

2 10 teams league the regionalise a'body else. And if they are serious about making it more competitive then for the first 3-5 years all cash split evenly between the top 10. Then in 3-5 years we should be seeing Scottish teams more competitive in Europe and then we can divvy it up more evenly.

Full of holes and desperately unfair, but something has to be done.

Plus do we need another centre back? (his own words).

If it allows us to clear the high wages of Ifil or Diamond this month then yes.

Keep Vuja, sell Diamond/Ifil for £5.99, bring in man utd loan star(de laet?) and save the wages for next year.

A total dive. Situated in a slum. Inhabited by scum. Policed by pikeys. Tickets for restricted views.

Edit:Celtic park is the answer

Swinecastle. Good banter, and they hate us more than we care about them. And the bounce after a late equaliser/winner there always ends up 5 rows further forward. Oh and young Fraser Fyvie's 1st senior goal there netted me £300+ 

In/oot: undecided

Prematcher: Taking loads of drugs and deciding whether it's worth £15

Match: Sofa or Dick Donald Lower

Postmatcher: sofa

Prediction: 3-0

Noises from the meeting suggesting there will be 2 leagues of 10, but it will all depend how the cash is split up. I don't think there is any magic league size which will suddenly see the tv companies give us extra millions.

In all honestly the only way to make the league is to make the, relativity, rich richer (us, hearts, hibs etc) at the expense of the old firm. But that would never happen

What do I win?

We setting up a Northern Irish colony in Linksfield?

Aye, did you nae see all the caravans next to the ice rink at the start of the season?

Couldn't give a fuck either way.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. If you're offended by this then I believe you need to reassess your priorities.

Bonza, cheers

See craigy broon has just appeared in the sky sports news studio, hopefully down to seal a deal for beckham from under 'arry redknapps nose???
