Would K Mac be upto speed on players? Wouldn't his focus have been on reserve team squads?

You're right. He probably hasn't a clue who Stephen Ireland even is, let alone whether or not to trade Milner in for him. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that he only knows Milner from his 80 minutes during the Wrist Ham game.


Oh its good to see a bit of sarcasm, its hardly used on this site. we all know of the Prem league players but how well would he know some of the few thousand foreign players we are now bound to sign since MON has gone :-)>>

You also forgotten one important player. Richard Dunne as he know Stephen Ireland and our club and he can advise us to go for him or avoid.

There should be off the record chat between Kevin and Richard and possibly Randy.

Would Randy have signed Heskey or Harewood?

Yet another sign that Kev Mac is getting the job full time.  Can any of you regular punters tell me if his odds are dropping?

I only very rarely bet but K Mac is where my money would be going.

Taken from the interview MacDonald did I expect where he said that he "might" be talking to Lerner next week about transfers but he isn't sure.

As a newly signed up member of the grumpy old man squad can I register my disapproval at the use of K-Mac to describe our caretaker manager.

I actually think we are likely to spend more whilst Randy is playing such an active role. I think he was trying to reign in spending because he wasn't happy with the way it was being spent, basically he didn't trust MON with it. Now, I think he'll be much more ready to spend as it is him doing the spending...
I think we'll see a "big" signing before the window closes..

I don't see a huge problem with this as we had manager and player flux. No matter the real reasons Milner wanted to go - he wanted to go. Simple as that. So we weren't out there headhunting for no reason. Ireland is a good pickup.

I prefer Macdonald myself, Don't like calling footballers by their first names
