good on him for getting away with doing over 40mph over the limit ? Perhaps that was the wrong wording, well it was. I am just in a state of disbelief that anybody managed to get away with that excuse! come on man. Mr Ferguson got away with speeding up the hard shoulder cos he needed the toilet.

Or it could be that Moat doesn't have £25m to put down immediately and Ashley is using that figure to tell him to f*** off basically. Yes but in this article they claim that he hs already proven that he has the funds, the question is will he spind it? I think the only question is will anyone give Ashley the price he is looking for? I doubt it and all this has just been a waste of time if that's the case. it already seems quite obvious he wont get the 100mill originally quoted so it could well be just haggling to find a price both parties can agree on. If the sale goes through then that will prove to be true. If it doesn't you'd have to question why Ashley put the club on the market in the first place rather than just get on with running the club in a fit and proper manner. because he put a price on it he thought he could get. as times moved on he's had to adjust it. naturally when you are selling something there'll be a price below which you wont go. if that about giving money to lawyers is true it does seem like a put up or shut up and could be the beginning of the end of this whole sorry mess. But no one asked him to put the club up for sale in the first place. Even Freddie Shepherd didn't advertise the club or stop running it properly in the hope of selling it and he's considered thick by most here. i thought plenty asked him to put the place up for sale. while he's been running it its been losing money. seems like he's hit a point where he's just said enough is enough. outside of not appointing a manager he's stil been running things thats meant his hand in his pocket.

or someone selling something asks a bit more than its worth knowing the price will come down in the haggling.

interesting to see if barton comes in and wether krul keeps his place. didn't there used to be a reading fan post on here ? wheres he gone when you need a bit of info on them. really really looking forward to this.

if it was you with your knob out i think it would have been a look of sympathy not disgust

who would recognise him ?

pin stripes are always crap on football tops.

Again, the junior is 60euros, the adult 75. what does a partir mean ? http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.om.net/&ei=bKyASo3GDqahjAeT6eD6CQ&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmarseilles%2Bfc%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26hs%3Diee%26sa%3DG also i know Sir Bob has been buried in a private service but has anything been mentioned about a remembereance service or anything for saturday ? Give up man, in that context it means ''starting from'' (I.e. Prices starting from 60euros, the kids that is.) The adult shirt costs 75 euros, end of. gotcha....that blanc top looks canny mind.

f*** me... Did he f*** your sister??? All you do is give him s***. He is talking s*** and despite repeated requests for him provide to some evidence to back up his claims he is yet to do so. how can he provide evidence without saying "my source is XXXXXXXX" and probably dropping them in the shit ? if you don't believe it fair enough but why the petty vendetta ?

seems like a sig then the name printed underneath (and i'm sure the official site has the top at 60 euro....75 for the tracksuit top)

you're right you know. just had a closer look.

rip off at 75euro aswell. even the official site has them at 60.....is that habib sig ?

i wonder if he'd have cited his contract had he been s*** and we wanted to sack him because of it. my hatred for many footballers is building. "i want everything in my favour and i don't give a f*** what s*** it causes for others" seem very much the attitude. If it's good enough for Owen why not lesser mortals? doesn't matter who it is, it's twattish. when did owen say he wanted to leave or agitated for a move when under contract ? Didn't Sven Goran quote him in a Sunday paper? Was Owen being paid 5k a week? Has he taken a pay cut to play for someone else? Did Bassong send a brochure to other clubs while still under contract to Newcastle Utd? Lots of interesting comparisons if you want to draw them. owens brochure was in the last 6 months of his contract when he can do stuff like that. don't really see what the other things have to do with it. has he been rubbish would he have said "fair do's i've been cack, rip up my contract it's what i deserve" Well he was rubbish and I didn't see him offer to rip up his contract which was worth quite a lot IIRC. thats the point. if the contract is good enough to stand when they are s***, they should respect it to cut the other way. That only happens with players on the way down though. Not players on the way up. it can happen as much with supposed players on the way up if they don't progress. do you think they think half way through their contracts "i'm not good enough...i'll leave to find my true level and take a pay cut along with it" or do you think to get at least some of the wage we give them a free or subsidise their wgae at the new club. Well, six months ago I suppose Darren Bent would have preferred to sign for Newcastle rather than Sunderland. Everything's subjective. and while he was under contract to spuds i'd expect hiom to respect the contract in the same way the club has to. if he wants away he knows the correct,legitimate,upfront,non-twattish procedure.

it's possible he was right but circumstances changed. i've heard such rumours myself.

i don't thin k we've ever been a normal club. that what makes us special/different. one of those iconic clubs.

bizzarly would be an improvement on the present situation. You would think so wouldn't you? yet all those Villa fans hate him with a vengeance. i'd contemplate souness instead of kinnear or hughton. I'd contemplate Alan Shearer or Curbishley first. Failing that, if I was a useless fat t*** like Ashley I'd contemplate it's time to clear off and give someone with a bit more football knowledge a go. without trying to recoup asmuch as possible ? He's not going to recoup much by staying in this division. If he stays in charge that is what we will do. true...he may think we have enough to be in a good position by january or whatever. he'll do what he considers is financilly best for him and nothing else.

all the more reason to turn the sound off when the match isn't in progress.

The problem is the squad would get nothing. O'Leary would no doubt think everyone was 'quality', there would be nothing to spend and even if there was - who would want to sign for a manager on a short-term contract for a short-term owner? As if we've come to this. I believe that Ashley taking the club off the market,and O'Leary coming are linked and therefore it wouldn't be a short term contract. 1 year rolling would be my guess.

Well it wouldn't suprise me if his whole plan was never to sell but to give the impression, sell all the high earners and bring in cheap stock. Then if we get promoted he sells that cheap stock at a profit and he's a hero. thats a pretty big "if" ?
