Pearson rattled....

Btw, I don't have a problem with managers blowing large sums of money - as long as they get the right targets in. I firmly believe Harry would have spent our owners money far more wisely than Sven did!

BS why does arry like signing so many players?
How many has he signed over the years?
whats in it for him?
At least Sven did not sign players for what he could make out of the deal (allegedly)

Nev let's try and stick to the facts, not endless conjecture. You may believe he's as bent as a nine bob thingy but we just don't know either way.

What we do is that his transfers have to be sanctioned by the club he works for, since he does not occupy a financial position. Yes he signs a lot of players, but so did Sven. A heck of a lot. He spent so much money at Benfica and Lazio it would make Man City's eyes water. So what?

If managers spent loads of money, but spend it well then fair play.

BS Sorry you are right myself and a lot of others are wrong Harry is as honest as the day is long, never taken a brown envolope and his dog bought his house for him and filled in his income tax forms

Why do you always do this Nev? Whenever you are asked to back another one of your factoids up you just seem to default to sarcasm and have a snipe.

I know you like to pretend this is all part of the devils advocate thing, but you're much more engaging when you're not being a big kid

BS I am not providing you with facts mate but google some of the 247,000 articles on it.

I thought i was being quite jocular about but if you don't think arrys not a dodgy gezza thats your prerogative.

Have another read of your post mate - you can probably see why you rile up a couple of people on the site. If you're just joking - my advice is to put a wink at the end cos it comes across a bit arrogant otherwise

The original debate was about whether Harrys transfers were any good - I think they were. Whether he is dodgy or not doesn't come into it, the point is does he buy good players? For the most part I think so

Having said the above - there are plenty of times where I should do the same

mt concern with Harry is he has in the past bought players for the sake of buying players if making money for himself is his motivation not the ability or relevance of the player i don't want him anywhere near my club.

P.S. i thought the whole point of this site is to wind each other up

Have you ever seen the film All in the Game starring Ray Winston?

They might as well have called the lead character in the film 'Arry.
