I actually like it, not that I'd ever wear one mind.

Typical mackems, they've put it on a sign on the wrong side of the barrier, thus facing the wrong way (technically) Check the barrier and where the cars are comming from on the signs side of the road

I used to think that an all, but it's not true, the foodstuffs are excellent quality, the cooked meats (ham, salami etc) are particularly good.

Him and 80+ others, never had as many watchers on anything Loads of Krauts and Frogs been messaging and strangely (to me) Portugese, who I never really pictured a Les Paul type people, is that a guitarist statement

Aye You ever heard of that Hufshmid blokey ???

Tell me about all those porn stars you've been shagging Couldn't possibly BTW my Les Paul is on eBay if you want a gander, 4 days left, Search on Les Paul Standard 1998 Some German offered me a trade for a Hufschmid hand built - 9 string, never heard of the maker (some German/Swiss handmade blokey) but WTF would you do with 9 strings!!!!, 2 grand he reckond the thing was worth.

Check the source, we're still ferked

If he's written off what he's paid in so far as a loss, which the sale price seems to suggest he has, the he might. The Administrator would take over the day to day running and get a best price - which would go to Ashley, Ashley would also avoid having to put any more money in for running costs. It's a real possibility IF there's no concrete buying interest pretty soon I reckon What would happen to the players contracts? Who would pay them off, if they were paid off? I believe players are classed as football creditors and therefore come 1st in payment order But if there ain't any money, they'll get nowt like everyone else. They'd become free agents and once they did that any new owner wouldn't have any liability/contract to them ......I think That said, I'd be surprised if a player (employee) came ahead of a bank with a secured deal or HM taxman etc.

I would think Administration would be a good way of dodging the contracts, you hear of people not being paid from organisations in Admin all the time. If the club/administrator has no money to make the payments then people don't get paid, I would think employees are pretty far down the line when it comes to creditors, they'd have the choice of working for nowt (as a goodwill gesture !!!) or walking away, players are like any other employee I reckon, if there's no money employees get laid off. If a new buyer came along they could assume the contracts, but I don't know if they have to, I suppose a new buyer could say to the administrator we'll buy the club for x amount, but we only want to buy the non player bits (or possibly just take on the one's they wanted) - possibly, I ain't an expert I'm afraid.

Old Owner "I'm going bust" New Owner "We're going bust and you owe us shedloads of cash" Old Owner "I'll give you West Ham as a payment off my debt" New Owner "OK, at least we've now got some assetts we can bargain with"

Unfortunately they're funded via RBS I believe, I can't see a UK bank "pulling the plug" if it values it's branches safety (be one way to shed jobs I suppose though). If they were funded via some foreign mega-bank more chance of the refinance being in question. Whatever happens though they'll get a big hike on their interest payments I reckon.

In a previous job I used to fly a couple of times a week, never bothered me at all, quite fatalistic about it all, when your numbers up etc etc Once on one of my regular trips I got a REAL white knuckle blokey beside me, he was obviously very nervous and wasn't slow to say (repeatedly) "I hate flying". As we taxied to the end of the runway I said "I do this every week, don't worry man!" I'll never forget the way he looked at me with great big gratefull eyes until I then said "takeoff's the most dangerous bit, until landing that is, landing is really a controlled crash anyway, but hey if it really really crashes, what can you do"

Potentially months of due dilligence, the new owners'll definitely do it. Who know's who they'll want as amanager, who's going to produce the cash for transfers Back where we were when Keegan walked Glad he's going but timing is shite

I'm really not surpirsed by the time it's taking, in fact it could be a good sign. Shearer wanted the job BUT he said himself there had to be major changes, I didn't get the impression he was in the fettle to negotiate very much, especially if it wasn't evident early on in the process that the will was there. I really can't see him being prepared to bargain for hours/days on end. I reckon a deal was done early on early in the discussions, it'll now be with the lawyers (drafting contracts and reviewing etc etc - normal shite). It's not about him anymore I wouldn't be surprised if the ongoing discussions are around the squad and the mountain of work they've got to do to get ready for life in the championship, who's going, who he'd like to keep, who he'd like to get and in (players and coaches) and what order all that stuff has to happen. Also Ego-wise, your not going to announce anything around the Champ League final, wouldn't make much of a news splash, but mebe's I'm a cynic Circumstantially - Bassong's lass told a Skunker (who lives in the same building) that "Shearer had offered him a new contract"

Players without brains but who could pass accurately over 3 yards would be nice

Word up north is he's going to Celtic (from Aberdeen and Hearts supporter rumour mills)

World economies in meltdown and all of a sudden a flu pandemic to make people worry about something else, hmmmmmmmmmm Not that I'm cynical in any way

I totally get what you're saying snakey. I've always been affected by it - the thought of what happened has sent shivers down my spine ever since. The lack of accountability has fuelled the feelings over the years. I do believe that if justice had been served, it wouldn't be as big a thing as it is. It's more than just Liverpool though - football itself changed that day. It was heading in a direction where we'd all have been branded as a problem - fans had been contained within cages and then the government wanted everyone to carry an identity card. It's because of what happened on that day that football is the way it is today in my book. The fact that it was Liverpool fans and happened at Hillsborough is inconsequential. It could have happened at any time, to any club in any stadium. With my lass being a Liverpool fan, I have had more visibility to it than I did before. I saw her about an hour ago and she broke down, says she's been doing so all day long and then was profusely apologetic for doing so. Still after all these years it hurts her like hell and she didn't even go. Danny is right - it is a time for rememberance but not just about those who died. We should appreciate the good it did for the game, particualrly making it a safer environment so that the young generations can watch and enjoy the beautiful game. BUt it didn't, it happened to the same club's fans twice !!

Tbh if KK hadn't quit we'd be above you. Probably true, and KK is as much to blame for our current mire as Ashley and his crew, the big baby should have stuck it out, He could quite easily have fought his corner from within, and made them sack him if they didn't like it, instead he ran away. Fucking coward. The manner of his departure made it virtually impossible to find a replacement of any ability, even if our lot had a slightest clue about the game it would have been difficult, it was impossible given their lack of ability. KK must have seen that and he should have stayed on, but all he wanted was the £££'s

Well it is and it isn't. Abortions are ok if the mother's life is in danger but condoms are still not allowed even though it is, in effect, condemning many thousands of people to a life with HIV. Granted, the link is slightly more tenuous but the same principle should apply. The problem is that the church has an alternative to the use of condoms but as you say, it's not realistic. I meant how I see it rather than how the Catholic Church views it. And what happens to all the Pope's spunk anyway? He has a Papal receptacle for it, it's got a special name which is...................erm............Oh aye! I remember, it's called choirboys

If he broke in - absolutely Justice
