Well what?

Have another

I could have sworn I said the following. "fat b******" took over the club who were 2nd best in the league, you've obviously forgot.

How much of a player for the future was Woodgate? Did we buy Smith because he couldn't score for Man U? Did we buy Owen because he had a history of injuries?

I'll have a link to where I've ever said that I was happy with a relegation fight. PS. "fat b******" took over the club who were 2nd best in the league, you've obviously forgot.

I'm not sure that the financial management is any better, we've just got somebody who is rich enough to pay off a large slice of the debt.

Good for the top 4, pity we got the debt without those trophies, isn't it? Who said I thought that we were in a better shape than the top 4 clubs, as usual, link?

How much was the original loan? I'm sure it wasn't much different to £45 million.

If I had a time machine I'd go back to the night Oliver was conceived and force his father to wear a condom and his mother to take the pill as insurance.

I remember something in an interview in one of the papers when Mort said he gave the green light for earlier transfers, it's too late for me to go and find a link but I read it as the deals were done and just waiting for his blessing, I might look for it tomorrow.

I'm not sure what you're on about with that one but I wasn't referring to you with my edit comment if you thought I was.

I alway try to highlight an edit, I've known people change posts after a reply has been made to the original and moan when a question isn't answered. mackems.gif

I'll give you that one, Ashley actually gained a majority shareholding on the morning of the 7th, it still doesn't tie in the sale of Parker to the purchase of Barton, the time difference is 9 days.

The defending of them in this case might have something to do with Parker being sold on 6th June, Ashley not owning the club until 15th June only to find we no longer have a hold up in the Barton transfer a day later on the 16th June. Edit, shit, I was wrong with one of my dates, Barton signed the day before Ashley gained full control, he signed on 14th June, Mort only became chairman on 24th June.

He didn't score a point, it was an own goal.

I really think you should check your posts before posting them, especially one where you pull somebody to bits for his grammar, you don't even know how to finish a question off, do you? The question at the end is a hint rather than a question that needs answering.

My mistake.

The Turk that we've got on trial. Edit, not a Turk, played in Turkey.

The "frightening" thing is that this same topic has been covered before and the timelines were all posted yet once again it seems to be dragged up to slate the way the club is being run, we complain about the press having a go at the club yet we're as good as them at spinning, if not better at times.

Why don't you google it if you're using it to back something up? The only things I remember him saying is words to the effect that we would no longer be ripped off by paying OTT for players.

The only thing I've ever seen from Mort and us getting defenders is him agreeing that we needed to strengthen that area of the team, I've never seen anywhere other than your post which suggests otherwise.
