i wasnt in tears. people will always lose jobs, then get new ones, complaining about that's like complaining about the weather. i hate setanta because now i have to pay even more if i want to see all the televised games. and setanta is shit.

excellent, die setanta, die

people keep going on about them coming down but i cant see it like, they were due to be reduced anyway back to the price of the season before last. 494 in the gallowgate

Surely they need to be mega-rich though? If Ashley had been able to spend big nobody would dislike him and we wouldn't be having this conversation. really?

ANOTHER ONE. gan on nile. wish i'd known this was on the telly

for fucks sake man. fuck off.

standard

shearer is attending the dinner tonight, and had previously said he would only attend if he was still the manager. thats from a rock solid source. still time to fuck it up though i suppose.

haha, what the fuck is that?

i like optimistic dave

its tomorrow

these threads are getting embarrasing

you dick

excellent news

journal saying next 48 hours

what do you think the stumbling block is? couldnt even begin to say. i know very little about the inner workings of a football club.

its ok man, they've said they want him, we know he wants the job, there's more talks planned for tomorrow. the news will come eventually, this lot never do anything quickly.

fair play to him for apologising

i think lambias mentioned thursday somewhere for an annoucement?

if bassong goes that might be a good call actually

pretty scary stuff, cant see shola getting many

i have to say i'm cautiously optimistic. as soon as wise left i thought he'd be here next season and i haven't seen or heard anything thats changed my mind yet. shearer mentioned in his press conference after joining that he asked questions of ashley and was given the right answers on all of them, so now i'm hoping that ashley sees al as the man to bring us back up as he obviously saw him as the man to keep us up. now with these stories and the fact that shearer's saying things need to be sorted quickly i'm hopeful. totally off topic btw but does anyone know when to expect renewal letters? anything been said about prices or anything?

one of my friends is a man u season ticket holder and he texted me immediately to say hard lines and he was sad to see us go down. i guess the answer is have nicer friends.

there's a story in the guardian saying that too

i have to say i'm reading this more and more and i hate it (not aimed at you personally). why on earth are we as a set of football fans not able to give time to a manager unless we have some previous affinity with them? we're constantly trying to refute claims that our fans have un-realistic expectations and yet at the same time it almost seems to be accepted now that as fans we wont give a manager time unless we've had their name on the back of our shirt at some point. what the fuck's wrong with us?
