Says it all really when RDM is ranked 4th and FSW is 22nd: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21372441

Find it strange that Kenyon left before achieving his aim of making club debt free/less dependant on Roman. But I'm wondering if the writing is on the wall for Gourlay already? 'He has the total support of the Board and Roman and both the football and business elements of the club will report to him. 'Ron has been a central figure in the commercial success of Chelsea in recent years and he has excellent operational experience and is thoroughly respected across the football side. 'We are absolutely confident that he can now take us forward into the next stage of our development as a club and business. To reassure him in a press release twice in three lines seems slightly odd :unsure: I say good luck to him, it will not be an easy job to do as I think Kenyon has shown...

my card arrived today ;) When do tickets go on sale?

What UK sports channel is the game on?

Does anyone know how many minutes he has played for us in the last three seasons? I'm inclined to agree that getting 15mill for him would a good bit of business, but who would we replace him with? Was it my imagination or when talking about wingers and how we are going back to a 4-3-3 Jose forget to mentioned SWP?

they will also probably fine us post game for the wearing the wrong coloured head gear.

I thought Jose said that he wanted to have two left backs? Wouldn't it make more sense to have Bridgey and then get a backup eg not Cashley... Or is his master plan to get Cashley and force bridgey into requesting a transfer thus negating a pay off and then buying a 2nd left back or promoting someone from the Reserves?

So far in pre-season i've thought SWP looks the most unlikely to do anything... Hopefully scoring last night will spur him on.

I'm going for Sheva was really impressed with him last night a few touches here and there, dropping deep/sliding off to the wings Also Robben was really tracking back well last night and getting stuck into a few tackles which was very unlike him last season.

You always play more for English players. We generally seem to pay twice the "perceived value". is Essien worth 10m more than Carrick? I think that 15 is a fair price but we will end up paying around 30 unless we can secure somebody else.
