JJ's late night post:

"It's been real and you will have a new manager tomorrow xxx"

Before people read into too much into it, 'it's been real' was referring to his time in the ITK Discussion threads, not that Mourinho will be unveiled today.

Contradicts what 'Save Ferris' said about IB.

With his love of all things South American, you could see Broomfield florishing under AVB.

Wonder who the assistant will be? Vítor Pereira was his assistant at Porto but he's the manager there now.

Ray Wilkins would be my bet

 

[punky]

Getting a bit concerned with Harry's collateral damage. First Clive, now Ian Broomfield?

Still if you bring someone new on you have to trust them, no matter how hard it seems.

Seriously I'm starting to get a little annoyed now. The mods are working extremely hard to keep this section usable (after 5 years of figuring out the best way to) and all we did is ask JJ to use the RO rather than posting bits of answers in here that get lost in the night and then people spend the whole next day trying to find.

Wish people would read this rather than make up other stuff.

THE REST OF YOU

Oh those terrible Mods. A&C probably gets up an hour before he would do otherwise each day to round the stuff up for you. Rob pays at least something most months himself - his own money. Not to mention the rest of us that have full-time jobs and are well known within our various IT departments for probably spending a lot longer on here just for you.

I know that we shouldn't expect praise for doing something for free, that would be too much to ask. We don't expect praise. We just expect you to empathise with us that there may be more to the story than you wish to believe. Would we do something to intentionally do damage to the forum? No. Is it supposed to be a bit of fun? Probably. Ah for the halcyon days of Rumour Rangers finding lots of juicy info.

Wow! Archibald called this weeks ago

 

[AB27]

Here's an ITK related question....

A short while ago, one of JJetset or Aqkayid seemed to suggest that we might have already signed a player on the sly already. Given that we're now seeing all these conflicting reports regarding Gylfi, could it be someone else?

I think it was Gylfi, i'll have more about that once his signing is/isn't confirmed

Didn't they both suggest something big and exciting?

They both meant Siggy I think

RE akqayid... at the time I thought, due to the line of questioning and his odd answers, that there might be something concrete with moutinho... if we're assuming that AVB has been offering "advice" in a not-employed-by-THFC-yet style for some weeks this might be the case. Or probably wishful thinking on my part.

 

[Rob]

Having thought about this a little bit more, would people prefer the idea of a dedicated "JJ Q&A thread" to ask questions in? I'd see that as a compromise but it'd be on the understanding that no one asks JJ questions in here.

How's that sound?

Wasn't it JJ not Akqayid that alluded to a signing having already happened?

Rhetorical question by the way.

I've been o this forum through about 6 transfer window and the amount of times i've heard ITK saying "something big is happening" is a joke.

Be honest do you really think in todays instant media world do you really think any "big and exciting" signing would be kept under wraps until he is unveiled?
