lets say its true and Sven does go. maybe we can then get a manager that 
really does know a good player to buy when he sees one?

look at who Sven has bought

cascedo
elano
petrov
bojinov
bianchi
fernandes
Giovanni
muwarmuwarmuwariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
garrido!!!!!
etc etc etc

out of all the players we have at the moment only

hart,elano,petrov,Richards,Johnson and dunne are worth keeping
the rest have been mediocre to say the least

now then if we were to get Jose and he was given 100 million then maybe we 
will see a manager with passion and a manager that really can attract 
players of high quality

remember this is only IF Sven goes

if he stays then that's fine but he really does need to buck his ideas up

I'm sure you never used to talk so much bollocks goaty.

Elano, Petrov and Fernandes are all very good players. I think Giovanni too, 
but he has played too little to tell. Bojinov maybe, we don't know. Corluka 
and Benjani aren't on my favourites list, but they're half decent. Ignoring 
Bianchi, who we've probably sold on, I personally only see Caecido and 
Garrido as failures. 2 out of 9 failures is as good as it gets, especially 
given that he only paid small money (relatively speaking) for them.

Also credit him with giving Johnson and Hart regular first team places, plus 
he's given Sturridge a few starts.

You also have Castillo falling over himself to play for us. You may or may 
not like the guy, but that says a lot about the high regard players have for 
Sven.

close with that last bit Chas....Castillo actually just FALLS over. never 
have I seen a more clumsy player
you may be right I might be being a little harsh but svens off to chelski 
anyway

Sven's problem last summer was that due to Shinawatra's protracted 
takeover, he got the job with only six weeks to prepare for the new season.
Any manager taking over the squad inherited from Pearce and being rushed 
into bringing in better quality players runs the risk of not all of the 
purchases working out.
How many of Taggart's purchases have been failures? And he's had the 
luxury of time to fully assess them before buying! Knocking Sven because 
Bianchi only lasted half a season is a bit much. It's this summer's 
purchases and next season's team that should be the start og properly 
judging Sven.
Sacking someone because they fell  just short of achieving next season's 
target is a bastard's trick.
As for the rumours not being confirmed yet, the fact that they're not 
being denied says it all.
