Lessons from Jerry Maguire

1815

News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one.  Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract.  The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.

Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business.  We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper.  It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.

The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

    I’m appalled by the constant use of the term “fella” used on here

     

     

    Guilty so far: James Forrest / Big Wavy / Joe Fillipis Hairdo

     

     

    Chuck it! Right?

    I put that into the hat earlier today tho I’ve not been much impressed by him when he’s played us!

     

    Mind you that goes for DU altogether when they meet us.

  3. And so it goes round and round …

     

     

    Scepovic has arrived in Glasgow to finalise deal ! Pedro Leon deal falls through to west ham so getafe can’t afford scepovic

  4. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    Armstrong sounds like a very intelligent young man – can’t quite see him clicking with Griff and Stokes – at least on a social level…

  5. James McArthur signs for Crystal Palace

     

     

    About £7m!!!

     

     

    Didn’t we turn him down for £1.5m…

     

     

    Mind you, at the time, would rather have had Ledley and Brown

    You’re right though. Reminds me of my student days when rugby and soccer club types from Engerlund would refer to everyone as ‘fella’……..

    Whit’s wrang wi’ ‘pal’?

    Celtic are “progressing” with deals to sign John Guidetti on loan from Man City & Stefan Scepovic from Sporting Gijon

    Hilarious.

     

     

    But what gets me – at what point of the day was that bloke sitting in the house and thought, “I’ll head down the stadium and see what’s happening. Hang on, I’ll just take along the big blue dildo in case…”

  13. Big wavy,

     

     

    No prob, tonight we will hopefully have two good strikers in and maybe another couple of additions to our team, if Lennybhoy is not leading me up the garden path :((

  14. With apologies to Margaret McGill – where are you all getting this info? I see nothing on anything official?

     

     

    I need official stuff, get me? O.F.F.I.A.C.I.A.L

    My last. You wanna play semantics. I have a window to watch.

  16. A man applies for a job as a handyman. At the interview he is asked, “Can you do carpentry ?” “Afraid not,” he replies. “How about electrics?” “No,I can’t do that,” he says. “Gardening?” “No sorry,” he says. “So what makes you think you are you are handy?” “Well, I only live round the corner.”

    “Sir”.

     

     

    Anybody referring to anybody else as “sir” – including ennoble-ees – should be hung by the toes and beaten to death with a warm Guidetti.

    I’m not your guy, fwiend.

    George Boyd Hull to Burnley for £3M.

     

    I remember the days when good players cost £3M

     

     

     

    I remember when great players like PAT QUINN at MOTHERWELL cost £100k so we got hugh Maxwell from FALKIRK for £15k.
