The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Summers]

Oh, it's on the ESPN? I'm too lazy to log into Skygo now.

[Summers]

Was that Andre Santos? Not surprised..

[MDK]

2-0 now

[Johnny Drama]

Gutted to have lost Lambert but am thankful for what he has done for us, he will be a top manager for sure and I wish him all the best (except against us). I expect Holt to follow him. Chris Hughton, Lee Clark and Malky Mackay on the shortlist I read.

Read rumours that state Lambert can't sign Norwich players for up to 12 months. But Holt will be leaving, maybe to West Ham.

I didn't hear that, I heard Rodgers had that as part of the compensation agreement. I told 2 weeks ago the pair we're leaving for Villa and I laughed at him. You heard a figure quoted for Holt?

[Summers]

No details of the Lambo to Villa deal are known yet. Wait til Wednesday, we'll know more.

And yes, West Ham have offered 4m for Holt - or so Sky say. Norwich deny it.

Anyway, I hope Norwich get Hughton. I'd love that.

[Johnny Drama]

I think he is a good manager so would be more than happy with that appointment

[MDK]

Barton gets punched in the face!

[Lineker]

Whoever did that is providing a great service to the nation

[lanky316]

Probably Tevez, I expect Barton to get a longer ban and the bloke who hit him to get nothing.

[Colly]

There's meant to be a picture but I can't find it. Disappointingly.

[Lineker]

Malky Mackay has ruled himself out of the running for the Norwich job.

[Adam]

Has he? I thought Norwich had said that they wanted a manager with 'top league experience', thus ruling Mackay out of their search, rather than him saying he wouldn't go there?

[Lineker]

Just hearing that Joey Barton has been arrested.

If any post deserves the big gold star for 50 +1's, it's this one

[Hobo]

Not when you ask for them. That's like saying a thread should be in the HoF.

[Lineker]

I was just saying . No more details yet. ITN are reporting it. Suspicion of affray.

Michael Laudrup is being linked with the Swansea vacancy.

[Colly]

I'm plus one-ing hbob just for the sheer cheekiness of asking, that should be the 50-er.

Also, anyone who thought that Skinny Mike releasing him on a free last summer was silly has been consistently proved wrong all season. Please don't let him off with a caution.

[Christain#1]

But he claims he was sucker punched. Well that's his story but he can stop acting the victim now.

[Lineker]

Lots of money is being placed on Dennis Bergkamp becoming the next Swansea manager.

[Colly]

Awesome.

[Pesci]

I love seeing Desailly and Bergkamp linked with the job. Bergkamp will of course be fucked if he ever gets them into Europe
