LeazesMag 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 selling his footballing mementos etc maybe including his medal from 1969. These old players are great blokes, feet on the ground, and Benny has been a qualified accountant all his life. Contrast with the current overpaid tossers. Not a rant or anything, just saying how sad football has become in the last 20 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackbleep 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If the owners had a decent bone in their body they'd buy the stuff and hoy it in the club museum or donate it to the National Football Museum. They won't though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Said I wasn't arsed about the "football rich list" or whatever it was you mentioned. I felt it didn't stick to the thread title and was in danger of derailing things. So I just ignored it. Preben Arentoft=good lad. Please keep it on track.

Guest alex Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Just read the piece in the Chronicle. Very sad indeed. Like others I would love to see the club step in and buy at least the Fairs Cup-related items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't a clue about the club's heritage only interested in how much money they can make from it. Yeah, I'd be surprised if they were interested tbh. Seems a shame like. It's a drop in the Ocean really in financial terms and a cheap bit of good PR if you want to be cynical about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said it'd be a bit of cheap PR and if they genuinely wanted to reach out to the fans they'd jump at the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Do you know first-hand that he's selling his stuff LM? If he is, and it's know what he has to sell, I've been given the details of someone at the club who will investigate to see if they could buy them and display them.

Jackies the Lad 0 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Do you know first-hand that he's selling his stuff LM? If he is, and it's know what he has to sell, I've been given the details of someone at the club who will investigate to see if they could buy them and display them. Club were asked if they would like to buy them and disply in the club room, check out their response in the "follow up" article today.
