Sheer foolishness to send the Gardner lad out on loan then complain we have no alternatives to dropping your Bacuna's and Westwood's. Lack of joined up thinking again at the Villa.

Sorry I still have my PL head on. I have to now lower my expectations. I have to now except that our once star prospects are now good enough to hold down a place in average 2nd Division sides. I suppose Greslish will be putting in good solid journeyman 7/10 performances next season too.

Can't wait.

before anyone gets unduly panicked I'm sure when Newcastle went down there were similar articles surrounding their better players yet they pretty much held on to all of them. Relegation clauses or not, Liverpool showed with Suarez that clauses can be challenged. We are not going to sell all of the players because it makes no sense to do that. There will be some which I hope we have had a big say in so that it suits us.

Well presumably they're going to go for a lot of money then given what we paid.

I wouldn't assume that. I reckon the board will have a bit of a fire sale to get wages off the books. Nobody in their right mind would pay what we did for Gana and Veretout as they have not exactly pulled up any trees. I would guess we would let them go for £2-3m each. Ayew will fetch about £5m, as we are not in a strong negotiating position.

I doubt we will buy any replacements.

Forest fans love him....

Looking forwards to seeing him in our team next season (always assuming we don't flog him to Forrest). Sanchez will probably look good at that level as well, ditto Grealish. Although I saw a link to Grealish going to West Ham for £5m (think the board would take that).

Reports saying Veretout may be off to AC Mila

There's plenty of things that I'd like to do with Mila Kunis but fixing her air-conditioning isn't one of them

Did you not say a million with pay offs yesterday? Getting better I guess. We will get 6 minimum for them, more for Ayew.

Their wages which will be reduced if they end up staying. Why would the board be panicking about wages which are in line with a Championship club's wages?

So they either stay with us on reduced wages or they leave for the amount that their contract says they can leave for.

What you're predicting will happen doesn't stand up to any sort of scrutiny at all.

I am only guessing, I would hope I am wrong and we get top dollar and better replacements (or in Ayew's case we keep him). Just cynical over the shower running the club.

Is it not conceivable that by doing a great job fixing her AC could in fact lead to doing to her the things you want to do to her?

No wonder I've been crap with the ladies if this is what turns them on.

Depends what the grim reaper Hollis decides.

From his quotes and generally what seems to be going on behind the scenes currently I think he's going to have a good hack at the Carcass this summer.

I think this is where King will play a role. My guess is that he'll start at the top of the carcass as he carves away. From what King said recently Garde is free to stay if he wants to stay. At least that's what I got reading between the lines. I don't think the club is going to advocate sacking another manager and paying him off. And if Garde does stay he'll have a massive role to play in who remains on the playing staff and how hard the club works to keep those they want to keep

If it was prematurely air conditioned as per your sig from the Philip Glass opera does that mean you would come too quickly an leave lovely Mila hot and bothered?
