I am really excited. I am looking forward to kissing her, which I haven't done yet.
In two weeks I'll be in Washington... having breakfast with my insane family.
Wish me luck and sanity.
First off we have news of interesting developments / disagreements / arguments in the soap opera that is the good ol CP boardroom. Our pish-stained Heilan Jessie mole informs us the Sharpsuited person had tied up two deals for a new centre back....not the chap just signed...........and a left back......definitely the chap we haven't signed.......but was informed to cancel the deals within hours of the Huns losing to the Jambos Reserve team. After week upon week spent in negotiation after negotiation with agent after agent and litre upon litre of white Americano coffee's drunk in numerous airport departure lounges.......the news was met with a just a hint of dismay, some might even say extreme anger, from the SSM and the club manager when the information was related back to him. It appears certain key decision makers within the board took it upon themselves to block any 'significant' spend until certain high earning individuals were removed from the club....a major change to the previously agreed approach. The logic we hear was primarily, although some, not us, may say exclusively, based upon key members of the board assuming the Huns would be spending hee-haw after their European financial disaster and with our current squad and a few minor tweaks here and there it would be a relative dawdle to 4 titles in succession.
Surprisingly for some of the suits Sir Moonbeams threw an all-in shout when it was least expected causing major rattling of golf balls in a bag on a pretty location on the Irish coast. Cue many phone calls and an immediate release of 5m....which was contained in the 'original' budget.....48 hours after we signed the Lovely chap..............a player who wasn't anywhere near our list of preferred options until the budget was suddenly cut. So what does this mean? Hell we don't know as we only make it up but according to our drunken pal a certain Eastern European centre back would be in hoops right now instead of an English Championship one and our preferred left back would not be cup tied for the Champions League group games. Unfortunately, there are some extremely unhappy senior members of staff within the soap opera that is the East End Che Guevara football club.
I had a feeling this was the attitude, and I just hope now it doesn't completely fuck over the club.
Our favorite team is still short a few players - Still need a CB, still need an LB and still need a Striker. The CL draw is Thursday as well btw.
