Paolo Gone.

[Nomoreheroes]

So, my initial thoughts are:

1. If the Adver know that the deal will be ratified tomorrow then so must PDC. Was this just an excuse for PDC to leave?

2. I wonder whether there will be a Macari-esqu backlash and call for PDC to come back? Only difference is that Macari was sacked and PDC wasn't

3. I don't like change. But maybe this is a positive? Maybe someone else can get something better out of the players?

4. I wonder what that will mean with Caddis?

5. I wonder whether PDC has something else lined up?

6. Will all the backroom Italians disappear too?

7. I quite liked all this high profile stuff. Are we now heading for L1 obscurity again?

What a fucking mess.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

That actually made me smile at a time when it was most definitely needed - good work

[magicroundabout]

He's obviously been lined up else where. Toys out of pram tbh

[Langers]

And still nothing official from the club, what a joke.

I would have paid good money to be a fly on the wall at the Allardyce residence this evening when Sky Sports flashed it up and the fat oaf spat his tea out with a "oh fuck".

Will PDC be taking you with him, as part of his back room staff, to summarise his interviews? Or are you now out of a job?

Disappointed with Paolo's announcement, it has to be said, but it's a bit weird.

His announcement (and previous one of a couple of weeks ago) gives the impression that he wanted to leave and was just waiting for the opportunity to do so and to appear justified in doing so. However, the fact that he went to the new owners and offered his services at more attractive terms to the club indicates that he didn't want to leave. But, then again, why impose a date when it is clearly not in the hands of the new or old owners but in the hands of the Football League? Unless, of course, the new owners have withheld some information that has held up the FL ratification.....who knows?

Clutching at straws a bit maybe, but I can see him back by Saturday IF the FL really do ratify the takeover tomorrow morning.........maybe Paolo just wants a bit more limelight hogging tomorrow night because it's odds on that his name will be chanted throughout the game, win, lose or draw. Wonder if he'll be at the game.......

One thing's for sure - it's fucked up any lingering possibility of the 3 loan deals happening.

Football may become solely about beer again. We'll always have solid, dependable beer.

Mind games.

4. I wonder what that will mean with Caddis?

Possibly the only good thing that could come out of all this....

I saw a 'Have your say' article on there and thought maybe a fans forum with the new guys...then saw it was about kiosk services around the ground! Bastards!

Don't forget this has all started by Black's fuck up to sell up in a very short period in time.

This is another sad day in the history of following this Club.

So many great times and memories, Northampton away will NEVER be forgotten.

Fucking Newell and Stein as replacements...............Oh Fuck Off.

See you lot tomorrow night. If you see a sad old middle aged man looking depressed come and introduce yourself.

Wish I was going fishing instead............fucking hate football.

Di Canio to Leeds.
