Yes, it is. Unless you mean Botham or Beale. In which case, no.

Both IanB and Scarflady from SHA rise simultaniously, the mayans may just have been a few weeks out.

Even a loan signing would cheer us up a bit and give a smidgeon of optimism.

Have to say if there is money, and most outlets last week in the press ran stories that there was, I hope the Albion game is snowed off so we can spend some of it before games occur and it gives us more chance of getting a result or two.

Not liking the Di Matteo rumours on twitter, but if they have any substance, the club may as well do it now and give him the money instead. Whoever is spending it, needs to do it basically. The Newcastle home game is massive, as is the Albion game.

If the rumours of Lambert offering to resign are true, it's a good thing that the club are considering a Plan B.

I would rather stick with Lambert. As for new signings and availability of money, there must be some, we just have no idea how much.

Why would a Manager resign just to let another clown get money to spend.
Stick with it, Paul Lambert. Stay away, Di Matteo. Get your finger out, Randolph Lerner.

Surely Di Matteo would sort out the defence? Mind you, I thought that about McLeish.

To sort out the defence you need to buy a centre half and a left back. Riise on a free and some big hard viking would do it fairly quickly. Then add a Sissoko, Capoue type that may not be in that class but I am sure are out there in Europe.

Did he sign Mulumbu at Albion?
