gingerjon Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 A much nicer story. Hollington is one of the more deprived parts of Hastings, itself one of the more deprived towns in the country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57500887 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

HawkMan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) All happening today, Benitez to Everton- YES good move. Sancho to Manchester United- YES good move. Espirito Santo to Tottenham- hmmm don't know, I wanted Benitez at Spurs. And apparently Viera to Palace, with half the team out of contract and Zaha possibly going, I don't think this will end well.

Benitez to Everton it’s potentially a good move but doubt he will be given a chance. Sanchez to Utd jury still out not convinced he’s worth that sort of money. Espírito Santo to Spurs is the most likely of the 3 to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Unless Everton are in the top 4 by Christmas, I feel the Toffees fans will be calling for his P45 to be handed over, then he will have to permanently leave town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I honestly don’t know what to think about this . He’s here now so let’s see what happens . I certainly think though that when you get a manager you’ve got to come together and support them and the team , or you’re just being totally counterproductive .

Damien Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 This is huge, I'd imagine all the big clubs will be clamouring for his signature. His salary as a free agent will be astronomical: Manchester City, Paris St-Germain - this is not a drill. One of the world's greatest players is now officially a free agent. Yes, 12 months on from his aborted attempted to leave Barcelona, Lionel Messi is now out of contract. The Argentine superstar's deal expired at midnight and despite months of rumour and conjecture, he has failed to commit to an extension. Talks over a new contract are believed to be ongoing, meaning Messi may well decide to stay at the Nou Camp. But, for now, he is available for absolutely nothing.
