Did Remi influence our summer spending?

[Somniloquism]

I'd be surprised if anybody's using Newcastle as a model to follow.

Remi came from nowhere to be the only fella under consideration - I'm just not having it that he wasn't influencing summer spends. We'd never bought French before - Six and Ginola aside - this all seems like more than a coincidence to me.

Maybe Randy deserves a bit more credit for actually having a strategy after all?

Four years ago, the strategy was working well. However Mike Ashley being Mike Ashley meant he managed to screw it up. It is still valid and we are also looking at other countries as well.

I do think you are looking for conspiracies where there isn't any.

The players were recommended by Paddy Reilly. Remi was appointed because the board thought he was the best fit for getting the best out of our squad. No conspiracy in it at all.

I find it hard to believe that we spent tens of millions on players that our current manager didn't want, in the hope he'd get shit results with them so we could sack him a few months down the road. It's a bit of a stretch to turn that into a likely scenario.

[Ger Regan]

Didn't sherwood explain how the committee worked in an interview after getting sacked? I seriously doubt that he'd have been able to resist throwing that bombshell in, had it even been a possibility.

[Lucky Eddie]

I accept every comment made.

I still think it's more than coincidence that a Frenchman was the only person in the frame for the biggest job in football. I'm not suggesting that anybody spent lavishly and hoped Sherwood would fail, more that it was inevitable that he would and that the new man would have something to work with from day one.

I said this to my mate on Saturday night and to my surprise he thought it was out of the question.

Is it being discussed anywhere else that our new man instigated the French spending spree and caused the odd Sherwood and Spurs away team selections?

Timmy would have a pretty watertight case for constructive dismissal if he did.  I think it's more likely that whoever advised on signing the players, advised on hiring Rémi to work with them.

In my book that amounts to the same thing.

Incorrect as I may be I'm still really surprised none of Tims mates in the press have pieced this possibility together.

Macdonalds baffling omissions at Spurs strike me as a silent protest.

I mean: advised hiring Rémi after Timmy showed he wasn't up to the job. I am certain they gave him a fair crack, the big spanner

I really don't think that "our new man instigated the French spending" and "whoever advised on signing the players, advised on hiring Rémi to work with them" is the same thing at all.

Imagine a drunk William Shatner who forgot the hearing was today. That's my ideal legal counsel

I'm not sure I could top that.
