Sullivan Signals Scotty Sale

So that's it then, if we go down, Parker is out of the door. He may be Mr West Ham for now,but before the summer is out, he will be Mr Tottenham Hotspur or Mr Manchester United, or maybe even Mr Arsenal.

And if we go down, what exactly would we have gained from paying him £80,000 per week since he deigned to sign that contract extension? Relegation by one point is the same as relegation by ten points when all is said and done. We are currently rock bottom so I can't see how our position could be any worse than it is. Had we shipped him out and used the money to strengthen the team, who knows, we might be safe by now.

Sullivan ballsed up when he announced the only player not for sale was Parker. He ballsed up when he rejected offers, holding out for top dollar and forcing Tottenham to turn to Van der Vaart instead. And he has ballsed up now by announcing that top players will have to be sold, making it a buyer's market.

Doesn't hit me as much of a surprise to be honest. We all knew he was gone if we went down, I'm just hoping we get the best deal for him, and that he doesn't go to those down the road...

Who said we are going down? We are all set for another great escape! And if we stay up, the only one we should be getting rid off is Avram Grant. Come to think of it, AG is history whatever happens.

Parker will more likely end up at somewhere like Stoke.
