Under the Hammer

Thought the Club Landlord had been quiet recently. David Sullivan has secured another back page on the Sun by saying that all our players are up for sale "if we get the right bid", except for Scott Parker.

It's a non-story really in that this applies to every club, even Man United, so you wonder why Sullivan has spoken to the Sun, knowing that they'll exaggerate this into a fire-sale story.

One interesting fact to emerge from the Current Bun's story is Sullivan's line: "The manager has indicated he doesn't wish to be involved in signings. He wants to be the coach."

This leaves no one purchasing players unless it's Sullivan and Gold. With no director of football, this surely means Zola will be leaving as sacking Nani means we have to have a gaffer who can work the market.
