Alan Hutton and Karl Henry. Oh dear what a lovable team we would be moulding. Could we sign Bellamy and Barton too?
Just to make sure we are really fucked for nxt season ?

And that is what they call the final straw, get him out of this club now.

I can think of many reasons to get rid, but press speculation about a player we almost certainly aren't interested in isn't one of them.

No in fairness maybe a bit rash, but you could see him wanting Henry and he's a terrible player. Anyway he needs to go regardless.

I was just thinking of more horrible bastards. Is it possible to assemble a whole team of them?

Billy Whitehurst up front.  He was an absolute psychopath.

If we start next season with mcleish in the dugout and Henry in midfield I am genuinely going to consider giving up following football.

I really can't believe that.

I would'nt read too much into the Karl Henry story, he's not good enough for Wolves never mind us.

Sorry to take up two posts, but I really think Henry would be the pits from both a footballing and moral sense

Just when you thought McLeish had done everything possible to turn us into something as detached from football as it is possible to be, the spectre of Karl Henry looms large.

Why don't we see if we can get Robert Hopkins and Mark Dennis out of retirement, too?

Karl Henry, can't pass, crap player.  Doesn't need coaching, he can't get any worse.  Definitely fit in well. If this has become our level, what's the point?

If he's still in charge and that's the calibre of player in claret and blue next season.... well, actually it doesn't bear thinking about.

Kevin Muscat has only been out the game for a year. Maybe he can be our Scholes type signing?

I'd think that not even McLeish or Henry's mom would think he was the answer to our ball retention and creativity problems.

Hang on.  You’ve been moaning about McLeish for ages now, so it’s hardly the final straw.
