Something about £50m war chest for next season on Twitter. The Bald Eagle.
Didn't know Jim Smith was on Twatter. And if he knows that about the transfer kitty, does that mean he's our next manager?

I'd take him if it means the end of McLeish.

£50m war chest will be spent on a deep underground bunker where McLeish will watch the games from next season because he can't get no further back in the dugout.

50 million is about what a manager would need to get us back on track, a good manager that is.

I you mean to top 6/Euro contention, then yes, but we could get back to midtable respectability/boredom for a fair bit less, if spent well.

All depends on Randy's intentions.

Is there any shred of credibility in this or is it just... *sigh*... more Twitter bollocks?

Take the 0 out and that would be about right.

Well before there was any hint of McLeish getting the bullet, he discussed spending plans for next season.

His words were

'A couple of players around £3m and a few bosmans.'

Anyone who thinks we're going to spend anything like £50m needs a visit from the whitecoats.

That based on this Twitter thing or have you heard similar elsewhere?

I haven't quite heard as much as that anywhere else.
