Cable Forum - Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

Our owner is obviously trigger happy, like Bates before him, so you could say a rich one like Roman possibly isn't the best to have. Bates wasn't minted, so he just built the debt up whilst also sacking people when he started chasing the premier league cash. But then you have a club like Spurs who get praised for the way they run the club, but they've gone through roughly the same number of managers as us since the premier league began.

Problem is Michu - I can't see him sticking around now ML has gone and I'm pretty sure Chico will leave too.

Has it been the same since the summer when Laudrup was being chased ?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

We've always known that Swansea was a stepping stone for Laudrup, for him to get some experience before moving on to something bigger and better so it was a case of 'when' not 'if' he moved on. I'm surprised it happened so soon but given the poor run of results I guess it was inevitable. The thing with ML was although a decent manager he was more of a 'name' than anything else. Gary Monk is taking over for now and a lot of Swans fans are saying they'd be happy if he stayed on as he's been with the club for years, he knows it from the foundations up and is popular with the fans. The only thing he lacks is any real managerial experience, essential for any PL club.

1st Div Blades knock Fulham out of FA Cup, sounds like a classic, 0-1 goal scored in extra time of extra time.

Fulham are awful. Even United are probably confident of a win.

Tactically he was one of the best for England in my humble opinion.

I went to bed during game. I had it on, but it was background, and never even noticed what was happening. I think the paint drying was competing for my interest.

Costa, Dzeko, Mandzukic, Martinez and Piszczek on Wenger's list as as Arsenal boss aims for THREE world class players to start another period of dominance

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...z-Pisczek.html

So that means Arsenal will end up with 1! :rolleyes: PSG have a decent relationship with Wenger, theres no point spoiling that but at the same time theres no point in wasting a possible opportunity to sign Cavani. I'm not too sure what other positions need filling yet having not seen the outcome of some of the contract extensions. Arsenal may need a CB if Verm leaves. Draxler is a player the club are watching carefully. Bottom line is Arsenal will have money to spend, I calculate a safe spend of minimum 100m.
