The Randy way or Citeh's Trillions ?

[pauliewalnuts]

So, Pelty makes the point that the manager has got a lot of players who barely ever get a run out, on big wages, then subsequently - as in half an hour later - General Krulak returns for the first time in two months, and posts something about how we need to make sure the right money is going to the right people etc etc

That, to me, suggests that he has got a clue.

Pelty also said there's no "sell to buy" policy. I imagine you believe that bit, though, Chris.

[Chris Smith]

My point is that there is no evidence that Randy Lerner agrees with him, which is not surprising as I don't think Pelty has a fucking clue if I'm honest.

I'm sure he'll be distraught to hear your opinion of him Chris.

He'll get over it.

I'm sure he's a lovely bloke and all that but every summer he has a rant against the manager. I guess he thinks he's doing his bit to back his family and friends but if there is a problem with the wages paid then they're all in it together.

City's trillions all day. My man city mate has had several multiple orgasms !!!!! (nothing to do with his wife ) ....

Americans are only interested in "stars" and O'Neill is scared to sign them.

Nah.

If he wanted stars he'd have to give us a lot more money. I think their policy has been very deliberate.

Accoring to the General Randy and MON are still working very closely. I'll take that over anything Pelty has to say.

Who is Pelty and what did he say?

[ez]

Citys. I want exciting signings and trophies as soon as possible.

Where has Pelty said they're not?  All he did was give his honest opinion, which is one that an increasing number of people seem to be agreeing with.

Don't you think he might have more of a clue than you do?

[eastie]

I think pelty has far more of a clue considering who he is, and I've always found his opinions very worthwhile to read.

Think you're on the wrong website mate. *winky*

Invest in British players, academys, limit foreign players.

I love it, but EU employment law would scupper the last bit.

Teams could employ as many EU players as the like but could only play, say 4.  May be wrong but I do not think that goes against EU labour laws.

If this was the case, clubs would soon cut down on the number of foreign players they buy.  The trouble is that the PL do not want to go down this route as their saleable comodity would go down in value.

Cutting down players from outside EU could come from FA and Government, inside EU would have to come from the clubs themselves.  Under PL rules I seem to think that it needs 75% of members (15 clubs) to agree on rule changes.

That latest interview to me sounds like a man who is losing the passion for the job he is doing, it sounds as if he is going through the motions and coming out with same tired sound bites year after year.

He comes across as negative a lot of the time, but this time feels different. If you look at the way Benitez was acting last season with the interviews from Yossi Benayoun, freezing players out, acting erractically etc. It appears from the outside looking in that Martin is doing the same. I feel as if he is reaching the end of his tenure with us and he knows it.

I get the similar feeling.

As Norm Crandles, a fellow Ulsterman once replied to somebody re MoN in a different context, you don't know the Irish very well then.

I think that once he realises he cannot maintain the steady, cautious approach, he will cut loose.  Hold on to your seats.

I doubt whether that thought  would ever occur to him

No, he's been a Villa fan for 5 minutes I don't think he understands the game. I read more good sense from posters on here every day than I have ever seen from him.

[Dave Cooper please]

I read more good sense from posters on here every day than I have ever seen from him.

Roughly translated as:

"I read more stuff that agrees with MY point of view from posters on here than I have ever seen from him."

[eastie]

dunno about that coops , im not sure that many agree with chris do they?
