[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[rovgers]

where is Nicko today, can't believe he's off the radar.

I've just set the kids some revision work, so I can get on here to check for updates.

can't wait for the new manager to be announced then we get on with the transfer talk, thats what summer is all about.

Well, that and asking/complaining about when the new shirt is coming out!!

[socngill]

JW isnt flying to wales is he to see how Ince went on with his coaching badges?

Thats kind of a foreign country

He's got the plane to Yorkshire

Away kit should be out early July and the home kit should be out early August.

[Claytons Left Boot]

That list looks a lot more encouraging than:

BFS

McClaren

Ince

Martinez

Boothroyd

Shearer

It certainly does - in fact you may as well add Ken Dodd to the 'English' list and if you did he would jump straight to number one.

[dellinsert]

Let me get this straight, according to Betfair Billy Davies is as likely to get the job as HTC??

[Manc Rover]

Well this is reassuring news... About time!

The fact that talks are happening "in Europe" means it's a foreign-based manager. Which could be either:

- Henk Ten Cate

- Gerard Houllier

- Alain Perrin

- Dick Advocaat

- Michael Laudrup

or...

- Slaven Bilic...?

The timing could hint at the latter as Croatia played last night, and Bilic would have time to chat today before preparing the squad for Turkey in the quarter-finals.. To be honest, given the standard of candidates made public so far, I'd be over the moon with any of the above.

I know I'm reading far too much into this, but make no apologies given the torture and torment of BFFS, McClaren, Ince, Martinez et al over the past week...

Alain Perrin!!?!! Surely not the man who almost took Pompey from being a decent mid table side to relegation fodder in a matter of weeks. I hope that's nonsense but if not, be very very worried. I'd rather have Reginald Perrin

I have been told that a Prem club (can't say) have made a bid for a BIG Serbian striker.

[Hughesy]

Zigic

Newcastle-nikola Zigic!

[ffan]

Newcastle-nikola Zigic!

Well done lads, got the player right.

[Craigman]

Probably Bolton, it can't be us anyhow

[Brownie]

And pub quiz on Thursday night

Certainly is with the £100 in the box !!

[damo gally]

I reckon its us after Zigic, who better for BFS to have as his loan man to thump balls up to than the 6ft 7 striker?

No it's not Blackburn.

I was messing about. Although Im sure we were linked with him a couple of seasons ago.

[Eddie]

We were indeed.

I know, just to clarify for all the people who disn't get your joke.

[Alanf]

It's being reported that Chris Mort has left his post at Newcastle.........can we read anything into this regarding the Chris Ronnie potential take-over?

[Hi Mack]

No it's not Blackburn.

is it fulham or portsmouth?

In what way do you mean Alan?

[ffan]

Fulham have 7 million to spend. That might buy them an average midfielder.

When Harry Redknapp was scouting Zigic, Zigic agant came upto Harry and said,' Five Million wouldn't buy him,' to which Harry replied, ' and I'm one of them.'

So no. I'll say it in a while, just to want to annoy the fella who tells me bits off.

[alexanders]

It might be liverpool.

I can think of Zigic as a very good partner for Torres.
