Same principle though. He's spent a good amount of time on the dole and was last reported to be on about 500k a year. If another club come along and offer 2-3 million a year do you really think he's going to turn it down out of principle or loyalty so that he can "finish" a job.
Yeah mate he was on the dole before he was a footballer which is 30 fuckin years ago
We'll see. He's the least likely to be bought off out of anyone at the club though iyam.

It's the most loved club in the world
I didn't say supported
I'm not talking about wealth or the men who came over and bought it
This clubs about love
Generations have given their blood
Familys come here to sing
With missing memorys they bring
They join together as one
Their veins explode into song
Vibrations trigger a pulse and the players are the lungs which it breathes
Away players feel the grounds heartbeat
As their own hearts start dropping one by one
Before the games even started the clubs pride has already won
I know they dont always win games
But it's the trying and belief felt within
It's the way the clubs always been managed
And in safe hands it should always stay in
The club was in pain for a why'll there you only had to listen to her crys
Bring back one of our great managers
And get rid of the ones that dont try.
Kenny will always be number one
But it's time to move on again and to the clubs future
Gerrard player manager with Carragher coach.
We dont need anymore Roys at the club
If not Gerrard then Benitez back
-
Makes me laugh tbh that people still think there is much loyalty if any in the game.
How many players can you think of that stayed with us and turned down big money moves elsewhere. Very few.
Money talks.
Pardew is the manager, not a player. Hope that helps
-
why would Pardew leave NUFC for Liverpool more like it
right on cue a tabloid newspaper puts 2 & 2 together and makes a complete non story into something that will fill a page...
-
Its conceivable that Pardew will be on their radar, but the only thing am pretty sure about when it comes to nufc is that he'll want to finish the job he started.

If anyone is having trouble sleeping heres some huge stuff moving very slowly a la "Megastructures".... its out the shed but still not out the tiny harbour mouth at Portsmouth so look out for "aircraft carrier disaster" headlines next week
-
You could have had Richards and Johnson in but what else?.....cant see them two winning the cup for us due to the paucity in other areas. You can quibble over one or two posistions if you like but we havent got a world class player available for selection iyam. But neither did Greece when they won it

Is Michael Johnson injured?...

The French pay massive taxes on yachts and other stuff and they aren't allowed to register in Monaco and the like if they are French. That's why althought Monaco is the back yard of gliterrati for the industry, very few big boats are French owned. It's a similar story with the Germans, although places lake Hamburg have the super-rich they restrain themselves to buying yachts upto about 30m and most are moored around the Spanish side of the med.
Unlike Chez I've met Roman a couple of times and his buyer in Hamburg is someone I have a sushi with sometimes. It's ridiculous to suggest that he isn't one very smart cookie and also someone who came from nowhere and nothing and got himself 'under the wing' of some very big Ruskies although unlike them he doesn't 'drink' and unlike a lot of them he ain't sitting in jail...Go figure...
HF talking about comparing us to Arsenal (a project more than a decade in the making) and Spurs (half a decade in the making) is seriously misguided, although standard fare as a 'talking point' on here.
Our club has taken the first tentative step back into the big blue yonder that is Euro football and all the 'catchalls' that comes with that. The bank will look even stronger another year down the road. But in all reality our 'project' is just beginning and we've had that spoonful of luck (I agree with Stevie and HF on that), that we have been OWED for god knows how long...So I don't feel bad about that at all. Of course we aren't going to roll over sides as Arsenal and Spurs do from time to time, but the signs are there that this is becoming more of a reality as the days go by. Well handled and carefully nurtured there is no reason we can't challenge for CL next (and I think we will).
The future is NOT WRITTEN. Just ask Roman.
What does Roman's buyer buy in Hamburg?.....

no need click on that, just think Neville from Auf Wiedersehn Pet

That may or may not be true but this is the squad that they sent to Belfast for Harry Gregg's testimonial in front of just 14,000 fans, two days after losing the league title.
Squad
: Amos, Lindegaard; Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Jones, Giverin, Fornasier; Giggs, Young, Park, Scholes, Cleverley, Valencia, Nani; Rooney, Chicharito, Owen, Berbatov.
That speaks volumes for them.
Even I'm not cynical enough to criticise that. Fergie is a stand up bloke, I'd imagine you can pretty much take him at his word and if he agrees to a friendly for one of the Munich survivors you can be sure he wouldnt take it lightly by sending the youth team. But it has to be said that Harry Gregg has regularly annihilated Manchester United FC (as they were in the late 50s and eaarly 60s) and Sir Matt Busby in particular for their harsh treatment of the other players who survived. Thats all in Michael Crick's book too. They kicked one lad who couldnt kick a ball ever again out of his club house, cant remember his name now. Albert Scanlon signed for us, but I dont think he did a lot tbh...perhaps Leazes saw him as a lad?

Bingo!
If its true then it looks like you were right CT...but its an internet rumour, bit like Dalglish had been sacked earlier today...

A slope is someone of oriental descent i.e. "slopey eyes"...
Wheres Cahill's folks from?...Ireland by the sounds of it....
-
According to that Guardian article Smalling is likely to be going...no he's not, I've just read it again and you're right he's injured! It says Lescott and Cahill will be the other 2...I'd have thought Jagielka wouldve been a better choice than Lescott but he's stuggled to get in the Everton side lately...its not because he's injured is it??!!

Is Cabaye viewed by the E.B.F.L.S.F* as a threat to the annointed one??!!

-
Richards?....brilliant athelete, avarage footballer. Can two England coaches be wrong?.....
-
Hmmm....ignoring the racism court case for a moment, I realise Jones and Smalling are likely to be going but maybe manu's overall defensive frailities have cost Rio his place? not to mention his age, injuries etc....all Hodgson needed to do was look at Terry in the FA cup semi v Spurs and the first leg of the Barca champions league tie to see that Terry, to be fair, can still just about cut it at the top level. He was brilliant in both games as was Ashley Cole. But then you get him giving the Barca lad a sly kick in the back and getting sent off. And the racism thing.

Mostly Tom theyve been very fortunate because of the tragedy in February 1958. Some would say they exploit this to make money. If you're keen on reading about this try Manchester United: The Betrayal of a Legend by Michael Crick and David Smith. The thing about that book is it was written in 1989, 3 years before the Premier League was formed. Its been going on a long time.

Does a Chelsea win change the coefficent?...
-
Not me, I don't remember reading that on here either.
this is it by Parky in the Alan Pardew thread:
Teams like Ajax operate like this as they constantly lose players to 'bigger' clubs around Europe. It doesn't affect them so much as they are one of the top dogs in their league which is far less competitive. The model can work as Spurs have shown over the last few years, but topping up with fresh talent every year is always risky. The balance has to be found with which players we can afford to lose and which we need to keep as the core. IMO none of our players are safe if a 'big' offer comes in. But as in the Carroll case we were right to take the money which was the same as having a good run in the CL two seasons running cash wise.
Thats what I'm getting at, if we are confident that our scouting network is second to none and we're confident we can replace like for like in the medium term, it does make you think.....60-80 million is 2 seasons champions league money (later stages money at the upper end of that too) without having to qualify for it. Going on immediate evidence, it took them a year to replace Carrol and we didnt bother getting another centre half when Taylor got injured either (that may have cost us a real crack at the top 4) so in a way we're being asked to be patient by the club as it is. A bit more paticence and we're sitting on a gold mine.
Who's up for it?...Toonpack? you're generally in favour of what Asley has been doing, what if he sold the family jewels this summer?...
-
Our co efficient is crap now isnt it? 16 or something?....that will have a bearing. But I think the reverse is true as well....out of the unseeded pool, no fucker among the seeds will want to draw us.

Personally I believe we have already stolen a financial march on the other clubs (outside the mega rich) in that we have gone through our slash and burn phase of “extreme prudence”.
If you look at this (and our latest figures would be even better):
http://www.telegraph...-laid-bare.html
We are in a much better state than most and the majority of the league just cannot keep going the way they are, they have to have their slash and burn, and the ownerships (Lerner/Short/Fenway for example) are making those “cut back/balance the books” noises already, not to mention the needs of FFP.
Will we sell someone?, only if there is a buyer and they can offer absolute top dollar. We don’t need to sell but we will if the price is right (notwithstanding the effect of Agents and players twisting).
Am mot on about selling "someone" am on about selling three or four of our best players....could you swallow that this summer?
-
ahem ...........
I know. am just speaking hypothetically...I dont think theyre looking to sell on many key players tbh, just depends on what offers come in.
-
It wasn't me saying that. You're probably selling the spine to bring that much in which would be a disaster.
might have been Baggio, cant find the thread now.

"generations have given their blood"....not sure, but that might not be a reference to a Merseyside donor scheme
