Credit to Madejski and Hammond

[Sir Rodney Effing]

Just woke up.

Had the most strangest dream... there I was on Hob Nob and someone had started a thread praising Madejski.

Got to go, running late already.

[Sun Tzu]

Pardew and Rodgers had left the club. In BR's case, quite a few years back. But if you want to use that as your arguement then I suppose that it is fine. The one decent appointment that went better than expected was SSC. And SJM bottled it when we got to the prem. But that is all history. I will give it a couple of defeats before the pendulum swings back and Frank Fickle changes tack AGAIN!

For all that I find him irritating Sun Tzu certainly isn't fickle. Nor am I, nor is Dirk, or in fact most of those actually giving Madj and Hammy credit on this thread.

Sadly it seems neither are you. You just moan all the time.

TBF, I have had many a good discussion with ST on here and he is one of the more intelligent posters. I just don't agree with him. And not once did I call anyone specifically fickle. It was a generalisation. But there are a hell of a lot of fickle minded people out there who sway one way one minute and then at the blink of an eye they sway the other. If the cap fits...

For the record I didn't think you had called me fickle. If you had I'd have laughed it off !
Quite happy for you to disagree with me (if you can handle being wrong ) Message boards don't work if everyone agrees - not that some people on here realise that !!

Listened to Marcus saying he was not surprised, and that he would have stayed if Reading had wanted him to stay. The whole point is that with cloth cutting had we made him an offer he would almost certainly refused it. Wages were cut, and rightly so, we had to get the wage bill down, it seems we were still paying high wages at this level, perhaps we should have offered him a massive drop and seen what he said.

Hadn't Marcus stated his intentions of playing for a Premiership team or going back to America to ply his trade. Having reached a certain level of income and had that taster, many of the higher waged players were surplus to the clubs wage structure and needed to find a club willing to take them on and indeed meet that level of wage income.

Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann has revealed he is close to signing an extension to his contract.

The 37-year-old has impressed since signing from Reading last summer, making 16 appearances and keeping highly rated Wayne Hennessey out of the side.

The United States international's one-year deal is up at the end of the season but has a clause in his contract that means he will get a 12-month extension if Wolves avoid relegation.

“I’d love to be here next season,” he told the Express & Star. “I want to stay and the club are hoping to keep me here, so hopefully everything will be done soon.

“I’ve spoken to the manager on a number of occasions about staying here and we’re both singing from the same hymn sheet, so I can’t see there being too much of a problem when it comes to thrashing out a new deal."

Chief executive Jez Moxey also stated his intentions to keep the shot-stopper at the club.
“Marcus has a contract which becomes a two-year deal if we stay up," he said.
“Therefore we hope he will be with us longer than this season.
“He has done well for us and we would be delighted to see him stay.”

Maybe they can squeeze it and he will get that extension.

Looking the likely promotion teams this season, after WBA and Newcastle Marcus woulkd probably be a good signing for the 3rd team to go up as cover for one season again in the Prem.

Just read that Peterborough owe their Chairman £8million, about the same as JM is owed by RFC, so similar financial position, would anyone swap???

[79Royal]

Why do some people seem to think that we'd have stayed in the Prem if we'd have spent more? There would have been no guarantees.

We took a gamble not spending perhaps; but if we had spent a little and still gone down there'd be even more people on here hammering Madejski!

I wonder how many people on here would be a football chairman if they had the means?
