Guest alex Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) It's difficult to argue with much in that article. Aye, decent piece. And coming from another local rag it contrasts sharply with Ryder's output. In being both a cogent bit of writing and managing to give credit where it's due without coming across as a lickspittle (or cock sucker).

manc-mag 1 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Very patronising to effectively be told who we should and shouldn't respect tbh. Assumes it's readership is 5 years old and for that reason alone it can get to fuck. Nose to the grindstone and shut the fuck up basically.

Flair 0 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 There's still about £20million of the Carroll money to spend, until that gets spent, he's still a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21964 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) us football fans are by nature a fickle lot. basically it all comes down to success on the pitch. the owner actively looked like he didn't give a shit and the fans turned. he's done nowt to try and win us back on side - in fact sometimes he seems to go out of his way to wind the support up (closing the signign section, renaming the stadium, selling key players etc etc). but if he manages to stumble on a formula that delivers success then you'd have to give him credit, whatever you think of him. it's hard not to be sceptical in the meantime though. I'm pretty sure the recent turnaound in fortune has a lot to do with luck rather than any grand designs on ashley's part. time will tell but i've got to agree about that piece. beats the chronicle writing about his weight loss, that's for sure.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 "synonymous with marquee signings on sky-high wages, bought for vastly-inflated fees" I tried arguing against this in another thread by looking at ALL of our most expensive signings, but it's basically bollocks innit? Owen and Luque have made us synonymous? Shearer, Tino, Ferdinand, Peacock, Albert, Barton (W), Batty, Fox, Speed, Robert, Martins, Cole, Woodgate count or nowt in our pile of "Big" signings that were good business.

JawD 99 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Fucking hell, bastid twighlight zone at times this. On selling best players - if taking one step back means we can take two steps forward Ill buy into it. If we take a step back and do fuck all I wont. At the moment (and Im living in the moment not 10 years ago or next fucking week) we are doing the former so I'll keep shtum and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9464 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Apart from its soul. Football has no soul. Ridiculous amounts of TV money saw to that, in concert with a Mr Bosmann and the advantage/opportunity he created for agents along with the odd oligarch/sheik here and there.
