I think Jessie J said it's NOT about the money. However, she did say:

Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first
And the truth comes second.

Sums up modern day football quite nicely I should say.



"Pound for pound, and class for class, the best football team I have seen in England since the war. In the league they were in they played football nobody else could play. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football." Bill Shankly, Manager GTFC 1951-54

To be fair, I was still surprised to read that he'd never managed to get a club promoted!

He'll need to do better than that to keep Mr Tan happy...
did he not get Yeovil promoted

The one that got away..


I wish people would get over Slade. We played s*** football under him. He had a massive budget for League 2 at the time and he was ultimately undone by managers who played better football and out thought him. This was poignantly underlined in the play-off final in Cardiff when he decided to throw Futcher up front when we had an attacker on the bench. It was woeful. That season, if I remember rightly, we didn't beat any of the top three in the League and, ultimately, lost to Cheltenham in the game that matter.

He went on to Yeovil, where he had very expensive loan signings from Chelsea and Manchester United. They didn't win promotion, despite a play-off appearance, and went into financial downturn after his departure (as, notably, we did). Slade left Yeovil because they wouldn't give him more money. Sound familiar?

On to Leyton Orient, who have some fairly decent signings for the level (it would not surprise me if they had one of the higher budgets in League 1 since his arrival) and he still - as per his other clubs - hasn't won a promotion.

We're better off without and he isn't all some people on here crack him up to be. When we signed him, Scarborough were hardly setting the Conference on fire, they'd simply caused a bit of a stir in the Cup.
