He said some quite offensive things to disabled people. It's quite different. 

Technically, he repeated a religious belief, something millions do daily. You're about to support a club owned by someone with far more disagreeable views, behind the guise of religion. All gays should be stoned to death. Women are less than dogs and don't deserve education or the right to drive. I could go on.

If it is Gregory I shall have to change my name to 0.1% Fan 99.9% Biscuit.

Change the lyrics/title from "Fred Titmus" to "John Gregory" and you have a song there already ? 

But my mind is wandering back to biscuits, what sort of biscuit? Plain chocolate hob nob or jammy dodger?

Didn't Mel go on Talksport just a few weeks back to specifically dismiss the Rooney/Gregory rumours? I'm pretty sure his words were something along the lines of "there's fake news and then there's this." I can't see him taking that hard of a stance if there was even a slither of a possibility that it could happen.

so it's not fake news then?

Now you mention it, I suppose that's one way to look at it

My perspective on a potential Mac3:

If we compare the difference between a Mac1 team with our current team, apart from in one position (up front) he'd have better players across the whole pitch. Most of these players already play in a similar way to their counterparts. If anything this new team would be more attacking, our current crop are more comfortable on the ball, and we have progressive passers of the ball and ball carriers (Clarke, Knight and Holmes) up and down the pitch.

I wouldn't hate the appointment, but we'd need a plan B. Something that never really got resolved in his previous 2 stints.

(Just noticed I missed out Bryson on this!)

Your arrows show players going towards the opposition goal, that’s a bit radical.

Gregory and Rooney story is purely agent talk. They have the same agent according to Google - Paul Stretford. It's not going to happen.

Don’t get the connection between Rooney and Gregory. When have their paths ever crossed?

I just can’t see those two personalities working together.

FTFY, the one and only Gregorooney

We won’t be going near Wembley if he’s appointed so I won’t need a ticket

Jesus,I know we want continuity but not like that!

Jody Morris would be my number 1 choice. Then Jokanovic.

If we were to go down the experienced head route like Gregory then I would much prefer someone like Hoddle instead

Hoddles an absolute fruit cake 

[SouthernRam]

Jokanovic is the stand out candidate for me. In the final year of his contract. Two Championship promotions on his CV. Attacking style of football.

Not sure any of the other names come close to be honest.

[RadioactiveWaste]

The only possible reason I can see to have Gregory involved is to "tick the badges box and not get in Wayne's way, be cheap and have the blame if it turns out Rooney is pants" which would be very cynical, and thus, quite plausible in the modern game.

Thought Rosenoir would've been easier to take that bullet if that's the case though.

[Derbados]

I reckon we should go for Felix Magath so he can heal the players injuries with blocks of cheese like he did at Fulham

Hoddle gave his personal opinion about why he thought people were born with a disability. I've not seen a source for the personal opinions of our potential new owner, but the country he comes from doesn't stone gays, educates girls as well as boys and doesn't ban women driving. He comes from the UAE, not Saudi Arabia.

Managed to twist an innoffensive mainstream religious view of the cycle of life and reencarnation towards enlightenment into "the disabled people deserve it....... because past lives" - that was some especially ingnorent rubbish considering that was apparently the belief system he'd taken up. (sorry, all these years later it still grates me)

Was that when Lee Dale had a calf injury ???

[Ram a lamb a ding dong]

Everything is BS and supposition until the new owners come in with their own man.  Depends if they go for sensible/ seasoned campaigner  or glory signing. My money on the latter and will imo be another show pony.
