Should I ever need a finanacial planner or an 'accredited later life adviser' (whatever one of those is) I now know who to steer well clear of.

You don't fancy financial advice from someone having a very public breakdown over a rumour, for shame.

Commendation point for whoever came up with the name 'bomb squad'

This bomb must have the longest fuse ever because there's no sign of any of them going off yet.

I can see Bent being the only one to leave before the season starts, and he hasn't gone yet

Got it now. Cheers. Does she do pensions ?

Agreed. Let's face facts if we were looking from the outside in we wouldn't want to sign any of them after the last 2 years aside from Bent. Thinking being worth a punt for a few million if he reduces his wage.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Sun bullshit

Isn't that what they called themselves?

I'm feeling guilty about that now, I'll ask her how to invest my meagre earnings in order to prepare for later life.

I fully agree with Lambo's policy of clearing out the decks. A manager cannot be compasionate and has to do what he has to do. He clearly decided at the end of the season which players he fancied and which ones he didnt.

I feel for Bent as he did nothing wrong and scored us vital goals, however he doesnt fit the Lambo system. Given clearly is on the way out and commands a big salary and has to go. Ireland, Bannan, Stevens all had a chance. Ireland and Bannan did not take their chance whilst Stevens isnt quite good enough [hope he finds a decent club]. The Fonz didnt get a chance under Lambo but he hasnt set the championship alight and I dont think he is good enough. A bit like Bent a good finisher but not alot else.

As for Hutton unfortunately another player like many in recent years bought for alot of money on big wages with no great resale value. I think he will be loaned out at best

I truely hope we can ship out the deadwood to release funds for one more good quality midfielder

Who on earth is going to take Ireland?  He's about as much use as a pair of sunglasses to a bloke with one ear.

We're going to leave a horse's head in his bed.

My colleague just texted that wee Barry has screwed up his move to Blackburn with his "demands"?
Jeezus, I was hoping he would go and salvage a little dignity...

searching for dignity amongst PL footballers is as fruitless as spotting Stevie Wonder at a KKK cook out

He used to go all the time 'til somebody told him he was black.
