HOWAY THE LADS 2005-2006

Common sense tells me that NCU will not finish above the likes of Chelsea, ManUtd, Arsenal or Liverpool, they are in a different league where football is concerned.

So they must target the teams that are most likely to finish 5th or 6th with their money re transfers.

Bolton Spurs Wigan and Man City are the enemy therefore, which is why I pushed for Al Hadj Diouf.

Selling Jenas for £8m to Spurs was thus a daft deal, but the money was needed for Owen so the Chairman did the deal. However giving Owen a £12m escape clause could prove hugely embarrassing to the balance sheet
