Sullivan and Gold started the summer expecting to generate cash from the sale of Green, Upson, Cole, Behrami, Noble and Diamanti. As the weeks have gone by, so the interest in our "blue chip" assets has evaporated. With Green leaking goals like a BP rig spills oil, Upson looking as solid at the back as an impotent Dale Winton, Diamanti only interesting a Greek team, Cole reluctant to trade the Boleyn for "life" in the Potteries and Noble no longer on the radar of Arsenal, it all came down to Behrami as a trading chip. But would you know it, after a disappointing season and an injury and red card ravaged World Cup, suddenly all Valon's suitors are looking elsewhere.
What's a chairman to do? There's this new manager wanting to spend money and a debt of something of the order of £100m hanging around the neck of the club. "We have to sell something," says Gold, "and we traded our souls years ago!"
"How about Karren?" asks Sullivan.
"Past her best, more Beckham than Posh."
"Well how about the ground?"
"Already factored that in and we won't see the cash until 2013 at the earliest. We could be stoking the fires of Hell by then."
"There's the tickets for the Di Canio Suite."
"Chicken feed my friend."
"Then what do we do?"
"Well Villa want Parker. If we can suggest that Tottenham want him, maximise publicity by making a statement that we will not sell him at any price..."
"But we will look total cnuts when we sell him!" protests Sullivan.
"Since when has that ever stopped us?" asks Gold.
"Fair point!"
idiot
ReplyDeleteYou are sir!
ReplyDelete50 partnership between Trott and Straus!
ReplyDeleteGreen, Upson, Cole.... blue chip?
ReplyDeleteMore like cold chips after their performances last season
i detest journos who make up quotes and stories and try to imply that 2 and 2 makes 5 and you mate are just as bad. As if you ven know what they are thinking let alone be privvy to what is and isnt going on at West Ham..
ReplyDeleteSo when one of the playersd you mention does get sold are you going to wind youur neck in?
As far as im concerned neither owner has put one foot out of line and until they do im backing them.
Muppet
That's why nobody wants them outside of Stoke. Why didn't you include Noble and Behrami in that list?
ReplyDeleteFair point Muppet. When Parker is sold I will wind my neck in!
ReplyDeleteBut Muppet, why do you bother to read newspapers and blog sites if you hate all this speculation. Why not watch the cricket instead? We've just lost our captain, edged a catch behind. 92-2.

ReplyDeleteno you are 1253 for using a word that obliges me to delete your comment. What did you gain from that exactly? You total...
ReplyDeletewhy do i read this post, honestly i dont know. Perahps i enjoy reading the ramblings of people who feel that they elevated them selves by being able to write comments that will be read by other people for the first time in there life. An escape from the drudgery of there own mundane lives im guessing. I suspect that you are similar to the guy that keeps on appearing behind the newsreaders, you simply yearn to be heard and choose this as your medium.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fine if you had somthing interesting or were ITK but sadly thats not the case. I dont expect Parker to be sold and im sure that the owners were relying of selling some of our so called stars and that may still happen.
Now go and get your broom trigger
Maybe you could spend your time more usefully learning which their or there to use mate. Glad I am bringing some entertainment into your boring life. I'm watching the cricket. You should give that a go! It's lunch at the moment though. Give it 30 minutes!
ReplyDeletewould have thought T20 was more your cup of tea...less cerebral
ReplyDeleteWhat rounders? You must be joking!
ReplyDeleteYou need to get out more...
ReplyDeleteNothing better than watching the opening day of the first test of a series. Couldn't be arsed to drive to Nottingham so sitting here with the beers, the laptop, enjoying cricket. What are you doing? Reading a blog you don't like! Tell me, who needs to get a life?
ReplyDeleteYour quite old and rotund are you not?
ReplyDeleteYou're my friend, "you're". Reduced to personal insults about what you think I may look like! I'm not actually, but you have no idea do you?
ReplyDeleteAh you see we agree about something. I have no idea what you look like and you have no idea about football...that is apart from when you teleport yourself into the chairman’s office to eavesdrop on their conversations. Do you have a bugging device or is one of the cleaners in your pocket.
ReplyDeleteI bet it’s the later and you met her at the annual road sweepers Gala bash....go on am I right...?
The latter my friend. Do you think that is supposed to be an authentic conversation between the Davids? Do you remember them sayingg that everybody was for sale except Parker? Well, unfortunately, nobody wants any of the rest so...
ReplyDeleteTher are nearly 4 weeks to sell and buy players left, its hardly set in stone that none will be sold...Its just a presumption on your part....no more or no less im afraid.
ReplyDeleteOf course I am speculating. That, my friend, is what bloggers do: report on news, speculate, give opinions. If you only want news, go to a news only channel. Simples.
