Re: Football Season 2014/15
The question is will King Louis reign at OT or will he be sent into exile as well.

Back on topic, kept an eye on the score Saturday but reading a match report it sounds like Stevenage were totally hammering the Hammers. Shame they let 2 goals in during the last 10 minutes, but if they can get that sorted then I reckon Stevenage could do really well. Possibly even gain promotion at the first attempt. Watch this paragraph come back and bite me on the backside next May.

14/1 to win the league, pick a couple of other teams, do a few double and a treble

In his well documented career as a journeyman coach he won't be there to build a squad (I mean actually build a squad, not do a Chelsea) or slog it out over the long haul.
Brought in to get a series of quick-fix results before he upsets the media, his peers, the players and ultimately the board. Terrible appointment imho. If I were a Man U fan I would be very worried and I think anyone who has followed Dutch football over the past 20 years would concur.

And he won't be signing anyone for the next 3 to 4 weeks either as he wants a good luck at all the failures.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
Yes Peter, because Chelsea are the only team to have ever bought a player in the history of football.

Well if you're not going to use the talented young players that Manchester City have nurtured and disposed of I'm sure someone will.

£12 million and what a bargain he was.

I'm confused Den? I got the impression that the likes of him and the rest have been at Liverpool since they were born?

Now now, that's not the point.
Building a squad is assembling a group of players who will grow together and sustain a stable platform for the team over time, a philospohy that's served Arsenal well over the years. I hope it's something Brendan Rodgers does for us in the future because we haven't had that stability since the end of Kenny Dalglish's original tenure.
Actually Mourinho did build the backbone of a succesful squad first time around but your owner is an arse since nobody has been afforded the same stability since. Bringing in the old and infirm (Etoo and Torres for example) when talented young players like Sturridge and Lukaku are farmed out. Is it really that risky allowing them to develop?

Methinks the old memory loss has not hit you yet.
