  1. Yeah, he passed away a little while ago and was apparently going through some hardship.

     

    Didn't even know the full story myself, and the details from that article are terribly sad.

     

    I wish athletes wouldn't trust people with their money so readily.

     

     

  2. :thup:

     

    Stumbled on that yesterday ... was heart breaking man. Miss that era so much.

     

    Like you said some outrageous football and goals that I didn't even appreciate were so good when I was younger.

     

    Such good times.

     

    The dog urinating goal celebration at the end is one of my all time favourites too.

     

    Who was the guy celebrating in the back of the net? Rashidi Yekini?

     

    Yeah, that was Rashidi Yekini celebrating in the net. Such an iconic celebration. Guy was so happy. Miss that passion from Nigeria man.

     

     

  3. Seems he really rubs people the wrong way somehow.

     

    The German team couldn't stand him, and got him left off the world cup squad after what was a brilliant season.

     

    Seems so calm and relatively quiet on the pitch. Wonder what it is he's doing to annoy people. Strange.

    Wenger comes into the category of manager that would be terrible without great players.

     

    A manager that would only look great in a league like the French League with PSG or a Big 6 club in England with great players.

     

    Rafa Benitez over Wenger every day of the week for me.

     

    Not that Arsene would ever take on that type of challenge of his managerial skills :laugh:

     

    Wow, I disagree with you here.

     

    Wenger made stars of most of his players. Hardly ever bought guaranteed top level talent.

  6. Apparently Wenger could be persuaded to take the gig.

     

    Now we know Wenger hates spending big money and loves using younger players.

     

    Not to mention Mike's preference for dealing with his French agent contacts.

     

    Thoughts?

     

  7. Former Newcastle United chairman Sir John Hall has revealed that Mike Ashley said he wanted to buy the club to help him sell his Sports Direct goods in the Far East.

     

    Hall sold his shares in the Magpies to Ashley in 2007, having presided over a fantastic 15 years at the helm of the club. Ashley’s time with Newcastle has been rather less successful, though.

     

    Hall has had his say: “In my day the owners were all local millionaires,” he said, as per The Chronicle’s news and transfer centre [23/05; 14:15]. “Today, there’s no local millionaires like ourselves.

     

    “I got a call one day from some of Ashley’s people. I was going to London and I met them and we did a deal. And I said ‘why do you want the club?’ and they said – his words to me from his team were – ‘we want to market the sports goods in the Far East. It would be very helpful if we had a brand in soccer’.

     

    “So in effect they were buying it, at a good price, and they were going to use it to, basically, sell their goods in the Far East and other places.”

     

    So in effect he's never going to sell up, because it's all about his sporting business.

     

    Good going Mr. Hall. Good going.
