    I reckon the club are missing a money making opportunity here like. How many people would pay to sit there and watch the SD signage come down round the ground ? Could even have an auction to press the button to delete SD adverts off the digital hoardings.

    I'm happy with the current one, a mix of football and history of the city.
  3. I'm all for it, much rather it was November and played in Northern Europe though, just for once.
  4. That's kit sponsors alone, add in this little lot....https://www.manutd.com/en Edit, link isn't working but Google Man utd sponsors and partners, that's quite some list, many just for the privilege of using their logo. How does a fair value deal measure that for somewhere like Saudi Arabia ?
  5. I meant financial self preservation. Self preservation for the lower teams is staying up and the finances that brings and for the highers the riches of the Champs league and the greater exposure for sponsorship. The last thing the lowers want is us leaving that pool upwards and the last thing the highers want is another fish in their pond.
  6. I can understand it purely from a self preservation point if view (not if they've clubbed together mind), even if our new owners were UNICEF. Why strengthen a club who is another relegation candidate/is likely to be a title challenger in a few years ?

    To be fair that may be more to do with Saudi Arabia noted tolerance of Homosexuality.

    The old days

    I was at Gresty that night. 3-0 down after half an hour to Crewe was possibly as low as we've been but hilarious at the same time. Went to Sandbach afterwards for a drink and all the pubs were jumping for some reason on a school night.
  9. It would also push those parts of the fees, should we stop up, into next year's accounts.
  10. Would be my first choice but I know we have previous intent with Kamara (both together would be ideal for a long term spine).
  11. Is the full press conference available on line anywhere ?
  12. But even 50mil needn't mean 50mill up front.
  13. I don't get the vibes from him but I do from the club set up.......mainly the financial aspect to be honest.

    Got to think how dark times are looking for them right now. Within a month they've gone from them on a good run and sitting pretty in the league with many making the favourites for promotion and us heading only downwards with Ashley still here. A month on many want their manager out, they've had a league run of 3 defeats, 2 heavy without them scoring and contemplating another season in the third tier, while we are reportedly the richest club in the world, New Manger appointed and quite possibly heading towards Man City and Chelsea over the next few years. That change of events has pushed some of them over the cliff.
  15. Why would City loan us Ake. They would surely want us down as we could be competing for signings sooner if we stay up.

    Yeah you're right but aren't you a little erm......over invested here ? I mean tracking down posts on there to contrast from 4yrs ago. And surely his reply would just be he had done a good job till then but been poor since, maintaining his narrative.
  17. Aren't we all the one race though, Home Sapiens ?
  18. Anyone is a gamble when you have a poor, disjointed squad.
  19. Is he on the training pitch yet ? Fucking slacker, get it sorted man. It'll not be dark for an hour or two yet.
  20. I would rank them by the pets they have, dogs 5points (bonus points for certain breeds), cats -5 points, exotics 3 points, Birds 1 point (birds of prey 10points), farmyard animals 1 point. Fish aren't pets, they are ornaments you feed.
  21. When Ford Transits and Box Luton's were away day transport.
  22. He left mid way through October.
  23. He might not get here, the last couple of days have been chaos on Rails.
