Well he may have an annoying voice but I'm sure he's a good guy. But another highly-paid backroom boy? I hope the Empire turns out big enough to pay all these people!

So he's negotiating all the exits whilst Marwood and Cook concentrate on getting players in?

That's a decent moustache.
He'll do well, certainly already has one over on Cookie and Marwood, who do not have moustaches. They'll have to grow one to compete.
Obviously brought in as deterrant to any mafia types. Good signing.

great news, this is the man that once managed to get 18 million quid for roque santa cruz - we've obviously brought him in to work his magic again

Legend among football insiders for that move alone.

Let's hope he can get rid of all the rubbish Marwood & Cook bought for over-inflated prices. I read that we'll be paying £squillions next season in wages for players Bobby doesn't want but nobody wants to buy or won't pay the prices M & C have been asking.

It's a byproduct of getting to the stage we're at - we had to offer a premium in wages because at the time we had nothing else to offer except potential.

To be fair to Marwood, I don't think many of those players were brought in during his time in charge of transfers.

New boy gets task of off - loading the rich players who are very happy with life in Cheshire thank you all the same, good luck with that one. Good thing is it free up some season tickets and the players allocation for big games might drop a bit !

Spot on - move on as many as possible
Mancini's mantra has been to get the players he wants before releasing the ones he doesnt so I am not expecting anything too soon. Plus most contracts are until July 1st, therefore depending on the actual contract itself, if we sell in june we might have to pay a lot more on the remaining contract than in July as its classed as a year less.
