So said the BBC news at 6.45pm

This raises all sorts of interesting questions.

Was he in the country when Royce and KP got sacked, or did he get Alan Sugar to tell them YOUR FIRED?
What is his reason for being abroad, is it merely a planned holiday, a none saints related business trip, or could he be trying to sort out a deal for a new coach and Jamie Lyon??
Could it be merely a smokescreen so he can avoid the heat from the press at this time?

Mr. Teflon, not about when things are not going right. Who would have thought it?

Does he not still have interests in Finance?

I'd certainly rule the Jamie Lyon possibilty out.

I was thinking the South of France

i would put money on McManus talking to royce and KP in person, but the show goes on, nathan brown might of been who was wanted for next season but is mike rush and KC are the season long opiton then we need someone in.

i have faith in the boss

Why? If we don't sign him, someone else could well do. He's in the Australian press acknowledging that they can't keep all their players and someone will have to go, talking as if he's up for a move.

Two reasons

1) no quota spots

2) we need a halfback not a centre

Matty Smith is off contract.

Full back Lomax, centres Shenton and Lyon, halves Smith and Gaskell. Front row Burgess and Burgess, back row of Laffranchi, Ellis and Soliola? Champions.

Eh?

throw that james graham in and ill put a tenner in the bucket to bring that team together

Funny. I and a few other people were thinking the same thing.
