£6k would buy a lot of takeaways tbh

What goes up, must come down. indeed, I was taking the analogy to its natural conclusion. The ads not on youtube yet like, disgraceful.

Just finished this, even better than the first one. There is a sequence near the end which is absolutely brilliant. No spoilers like.

Stable Financial Footing or Super Fresco by Graham and Brown?

a few of Mike Ashley's caprice, earlier today; excellent post manc-mag.

Ashley will be hung by his own noose, we're on a sloap on a rope.

I thought I already did recently.

You do say it a lot but it is spot on. i appreciated it, and got a taste for it. Now I struggle to see it or even imagine it over the horizon. Just suppose Ashley uses Carrol cash to pay off part of his loans, then takes as much other cash out of the club to pay as much of the rest of his loans as he can get his hands on, then walks away from the club, where would we be? Probably unable to increase overdraft from Barclays, unable to pay wages, straight into administration, 20 point deduction, Division 2, here we come. Not sure what your point is here? The club is indebted to him? It's his club, he could choose to pour millions into it if he was ambitious and hope it works out - writing the cash off as a gamble - much the same way he does at the craps table. My point is that there is no obligation on him to continue to make loans to the club. I agree that it would be very nice if he did, and made further investments in the playing staff. But he could decide to walk away, and cut his losses. A new owner for the club, would I would probably have to come in with about 300M to carry on running the club and make the necessary investments in the playing staff. Highly unlikely to find such a person, so we are better off with Ashley, but please, please, please bring in a Chief Exec with some expert knowledge of how to run a football club. aye, ok.

aye, it's bargain basement exploitation all the way. it is desperate, desperate stuff.

good chance he'll get one soon.

Hughton was very good at getting good performances out of the lads and we had an excellent target man. Both now gone and we have a manager who takes teams down, I think we are in rather deep shit.

Good point! bollocks. Carroll showed far more promise more than 2 years ago than dutty has to date. Less promise imo. Before his championship season Carroll was pretty dire, yet he was still older than Ranger then. Perhaps you can show me a thread from that period that says otherwise? Doesn't mean that Ranger will progress like Carroll though, obviously, but ffs, give him a chance when we've few other options. To Dr Gloom, I'd say it's pretty mean spirited to start a specific thread about our youngest, least experienced player being shit despite the fact that there were others plainly worse than him tonight. I don't get some people's mentality. as a rule I don't engage with you as I don't get your mentality tbh. Cheers. To be honest I haven't a clue who you are so don't know if I 'engage' with you or not. My comment was directed at Dan anyway. I don't know who Dan is but you did quote me and reject my point.

I recall this distinctly and felt a thrill of potential at the time for Andy that I have never had for Dutty; promise as a rule I don't engage with you as I don't get your mentality tbh.

Hoy a wheelbarrow full of cash on ffs.

3 nowt. Best, Shola, Guti. In that order.

I was asking for this with the OP really wasn't I?

you're boycotting by not watching half the game on a free internet feed? you daft twat. I have sky, i'm not poor. I take it back, that makes your boycott FAR more effective.
