There is no chance in hell of you signing all of them

I know. I was more on about the absurdity of the rumours.

Arsenal fans and their hopeless dreams of signing Suarez

Hopeless? Apparently the clause of for CL football so when Arsenal finally qualify the clause is active again.

Other than the game time he will miss because of bans, I fail to see how any of that has anything whatsoever to do with the value of a footballer.

A player with disciplinary issues at every club? How can that not drag down the price?

Suarez is not worth 55m. Not in a million years is a mentally unstable cheat with a talent worth that much

Putting a bid in for someone is not classless. Rodgers and Liverpool are the classless ones, yet again.

Shot doesn't equal chance. I mean created real goalscoring opportunities where they saw the whites of the goalkeeper's eyes. How many of those shots were pops from outside the box or as a last resort after being crowded out? Granted, they had a handful of crosses that flashed across the box, and once Notts were tired in the last five minutes they were able to create more, but for 85 minutes they created next to nothing. They scored, Porter missed a sitter, that was it from open play. A number of times Doyle lined one up from outside the box, or they passed it about trying to find an opening. How many times was the keeper tested? Not enough, in the circumstances.

I will have to come into this thread more often if this is the standard of posts.

John Terry got destroyed in a tackle last night

Still jumped up to moan about it though

Glad to see he did. He was staying down until they started on another of the players. it is something you would like to see from a Captain as he ignored his own problem for the team.

For anyone a fan of Doncaster, you've apparently "signed" the lad Louis from that boyband

Like YOU of all people don't know the specifics of that statement

Besides the point really. If you're going to be that ignorant and use demeaning slurs like the ones listed, you deserve every punishment you get, irrespective of context.

Unfortunately, some people simply never grow up.

You're gay.

Name so redeeming features he has.

It is more curiousity omn my part as he hadn't taken charge of a club I like is all.

This changed a little after I read this elsewhere:

Ken Bates says he was abruptly sacked from his tenure as the Leeds United president by the new owners, GFH, after he entered the club into a contract with the private aeroplane company 247 Jet that could be used to fly him to Leeds from his Monaco home.

The cost of this contract to which Bates committed the Championship club, which is under financial strain, is thought to be £500,000 over three years.

Previously Bates has been flown by private jet. The costs of use of a private jet to the club is understood from sources who have seen the Leeds accounts to be around £120,000 a year. He told the Observer that his expenses had not changed for the eight years he was Leeds chairman, and that GFH were well aware of them when they bought the club in December. He declined to cover the details of precisely what they covered.

A key sticking point with GFH is that Bates did not gain the approval of the board for the new, three-year private jet contract. Bates argues he was not able to do so, and he was advised in June that as a director of the club, he was able to bind the club into the contract.

"I saved the club money, because this was a sterling contract, rather than euros," Bates said. "I did it in the best interests of the club."

Currently on holiday in Italy with his wife Suzannah, Bates said he received a hand-delivered letter last Wednesday from GFH, raising concerns. He expected to deal with it on his return from holiday, but instead: "Two days later, they told me I was sacked."

Describing his treatment as "despicable," Bates said he is considering suing. GFH said there were confidentiality agreements in place, and declined to comment.

Maybe you could be polite and suggest you would prefer this situation. No need to be rude to our Danish pal there.

You are right. I forget sometimes and just go right to the point.

In my opinion signing your first professional contract should happen at a younger age.
