    No, there's a significant amount more skill in the championship than in Scotland. Do you watch either league often? Totally different. The curling one may have a shred of truth though. :)

    Stogey is planning a silver Championship squad... :p
    And skevin too :p

    Wouldn't this move 'hinder' his creative abilities? Not a good style fit?

    Staebek, rize, or anywhere in holland. He has a knack for going where coaches are fired quickly thereafter.


    On a side note, it could be a perverse strategic decision by coach who are sure they will be fired regardless of imminent result outcome to hire Freddy to screw the club...

    It's called 'hurling', for the record.

    Is that where a bunch of people get drunk on the ice and start throwing stones around?

    Well, it's certainly better than what you might think of when you hear "Irish hurling."

    I'm not sure if that smiley is because you're happy to have news, happy what the news is, happy dreaming of Freddy in the EPL, the hype part is funny, or you're just joking altogether. Assuming it's not the latter...

    Thinking EPL already? Seriously? Have you learned nothing from Freddy's history?

    Well there is a reason to sign him if they think he's undervalued and could be sold at a profit in a year or two's time.

    No chance he gets a work permit...right? Unless Blackpool can spin him as being able to sell tickets.

    On the field, they could see him as a replacement on the wing for Thomas Ince, who is about to move to Crystal Palace. Dare I say it, if this works out...it might not actually be a bad move for Freddy.

    If it falls through, get him to Stabaek though. I want that desperately.

    Every player in the championship is thinking of the premier league. I understand you wanting to temper unrealistic expectations, but aren't I allowed to think big?

    You could make an argument that, by drawing in more fans, and thus generating more ticket sales, the club would earn more money to be able to spend on youth development, thus aiding the development of the sport.

    Not saying it would work, but they could try it. ;)

    hopefully some of that turkey interest stuff can heat up for him, it would be massively overshooting most of our expectations if he can latch on in the turkish top flight even for a roster spot

    Not to try and start an argument here but how on earth does this apply to him? Note use of the words
    and

    I am not sure that selling an extra 10 tickets one time is going to help them spend more money on youth development.
