[Archived] Nicko's Thread

[Neil Weaver]

Anybody found MH's comments on the Newc job this morning ? Maybe I'm just paranoid but it sounds to me as though he wouldn't have minded being offered the job, and if Redknapp turns it down then he's said nothing to rule himself out. Once again, showing his shrewdness.

Redknapp is holding a news conference in 20 mins.

Now I can't imagine that he's going to say anything, apart from he's staying at Pompey.

What I got from it was him saying why would he want to swap a stable job with a good board for an unstable one and a rubbish board.

I'd have been much happier had he worded it like you Cocker!

He holds a press conference at this time every Friday before Pompey have a game....

....as does Mark Hughes before Rovers games.

Unless 'Arry departs his script like he did after he got arrested (he and Joey can share a cell), I doubt the conference will be very illuminating.

Looks like Newcastle could end up with Souness again.

PS I agree with Cocker

[den]

Anelka signed by Chelsea.

FOURTEEN MILLION POUNDS!

[Mozzer]

surely blackburn should be signing someone today or tomorrow..we only have 2 central midfielders both who have been out injuried..

we should try for diaby on loan from arsenal..

nicko..do you have any latest transfer news from rovers..

ie roberts to sunderland

[Nelsta]

Anelka signed by Chelsea.

FOURTEEN MILLION POUNDS!

[martmitch]

Will be interesting to see who they can bring in. Great news for Rovers though, a new player won't replace Anelka straight away, and they probably won't have anyone ready for Sunday in any case. Diouf gone aswell, Kevin Davies, Heidar Helguson, Ricardo Vaz Te and Daniel Braaten up there... Still capable of the odd goal from set pieces though

"Nobody from Newcastle has contacted me and in any case, that wouldn't be allowed. Nobody has contacted Peter Storrie."

Been reading the rules, have you Harry?

[Cocker]

Will Anelka be able to play for Chelski at the weekend though

Ah, he can - thats him in my Fantasy Team then

Just done the same thing!

[philipl]

The cancellation of 'Arry's regular Pompey pre-match briefing news conference IS big news.

BBC on Newcastle/'arry pros and cons.

Anelka won't be facing us on Sunday.

[Rover down South]

Someone phone Gary Megson & tell him he can have McCarthy & Roberts for £14 million!!

No he cant - that would turn their team into one thats not half bad

[philipl]

There are reports that 'Arry is meeting Newcastle this afternoon after Ashley offered £5m per year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The press are unanimous in saying Hughes is ruled out of the Newcastle jib following this morning's statement.

Anelka will appear for Chelsea against Spurs tomorrow and it seems Bolton got their £15m. I expect we will get £4m for Roberts as well.

[Mozzer]

4million for roberts-we are laughing-i like him, and felt he offered us something different-but to have 1million put on his price for when we signed him and he has hardly played is a really good deal..

to get 5million or more for savage and roberts is really good business...

we need to spend now...

[thenodrog]

This is fanciful but this would be funny......... if Arry backs out, Hughes does likewise and nobody else goes running to the North east then maybe Ashley will be left with lots of egg on his face. Wouldn't it be funny if desperation turns him to Steve Bruce? Bruce could never refuse to manage the Mags and could easily end up sh1tting on Wigan and Whelan all over again.
