Ref Taggart coming back, can anybody see it happening?

For me, there's no chance in hell unless he hand picks somebody to do the day-to-day and he'll be there in an advisory roll only. Maybe that somebody could be his son or something but now Moyes has ripped out all of Taggarts backroom staff then I can't see it even being a consideration.

Gollum has exceeded all my expectations so far and may is reign at the Rags be long and ugly.

When are you supposed to name the team? Too early and the others swich off, too late and they become mad men?

There is zero chance of him returning. Hes already got a statue and stand named after him, there is nothing to gain for him coming back. That and everything I've read quotes him as being extremely happy to have retired and hes said lots of times he won't go back. I believe him.

Maybe thats what they're feeding people at the swamp so they still think Moyes is a top manager

He's doing too poorly at the mo. He needs to win a few games now so as to not create a situation where it's a no-brainer to fire him. He must mask his mediocrity, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy this for much longer.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Hypothetical scenario and question.

If we assume it's a given that Gollum will fuck up the rags if he has long enough. Miss out on top 4 and the best players leave etc. Fans get disillusioned, attendances drop, even the media don't rim them at every chance. Utopia for all of us.

Lets now say the rags nosedive and lose 4 or 5 on the spin and carry on plummeting down table. When the next derby comes around if rags lose Gollum gets sacked. He is replaced by someone more talented, exerienced and manages to turn round the season and all is good at the swamp again.

The question is would anyone take a one off defeat, want it even, if its means the demise of rags for 3/4 more years or would you want to spank them on their own patch but have them turn round the mess they are in and remain clise challengers.
Inconceivable to want a rag win i know but an interesting proposition thats not too far fetched

I can't see the rags turning it around even with a new manager. I just think they need to sign to many players and after the last transfer window where they were turned down by at least 7 players, the swamp isn't as attractive as it was to class players, so they are stuck with England internationals such as Welbeck, Cleverly and Young.
I mean what's happened to this Saha who got and England cap as soon as he signed for the scum and was supposed to be amazing, yet doesn't get a game. Another great signing like Fellani.
Long may it continue

Id settle for the red dipper model. Every season a big "gonna be our year, back where we belong" PR smokescreen then the football starts and reality sets in...moyes wont be able to stick that out...too much money at stake for them to let him rebuild over 3-5 years. As for not beating them every time we play them thats just unthinkable. The derby should be a footballing versionof a cat playing with a mouse for as long as possible...we had it from them for long enough its time to keep our foot on the throat.

I can't work on hypotheticals ... by the time next derby comes (in PL at least, not counting any cup draws) there won't be any time for their season to be turned around ... but the way we are going we might need those three points to save ours ...

My point is we should worry about our games and our season and our manager ... would you be happy over next 4-5 years coming 2nd or 3rd or 4th in the league because it's above them, while Chelsea or Arsenal or someone else wins it?

Let's leave mid and bottom half of the table teams where they are and worry about our end, shall we?

Gollum hasn't F*cked up United though. He has been given a squad, no chance to buy quality they need to stay at the top trough for feeding.
It's Fergie and the owners, the former by staying too long, the latter by buying the club.

The side is aging rapidly. Van A*se is going grey, Wooney is having carpets refitted . Vidic is slow. Giggs travels to the games for free on the local bus.

The mainstay of the English squad is rubbish, Jones and Smalling are battlers and not much more. Young is a diver , wayne wants out.

One cannot blame Gollum for the rubbish he inherited. However he can be blamed for making a stupid decision to take the job on.

The other day Doug said they had a good run upto Christmas, i wonder what he thinks now ?

The club, inspite of very high turnover is in a mess. No youth coming through, massive , massive foreign debt and mid table ! I'm sure they have other issues. I blame the Romans ( not the Chelski boss!).

All very valid and true, maybe Moyes was the best they could get - perhaps even Maureen was tempted until he saw the setup?

If Gollum survives until the end of the season, I'm convinced that, next year, he will win the title for the Scum.

Mind you, sides like Leeds, Watford, Leicester etc. might disagree.

A bit silly really. If the scum do so badly that they need to sack Moyes. One win against us wouldn't do anything. He would lose the next games And get sacked.
