What if you go 1-0 down in a game and a drastic tactical change is needed? Everybody huddle up on the sidelines and vote? What if it was a tie, who decides on the deciding vote etc. Also the guy on the sidelines would feel pretty worthless if people were making his/her decisions. It would be a good idea for picking the starting line-up, as the fans know what is best most of the time, but for in game tactical decisions it would be a shambles. There are probably going to be some clubs who try for joint managers again, but it's been shown to be a mistake in the past.

I know everybody cares loads, but it turns out this is actually on minutes played and he will be allowed to go for €18m at the end of the season. Would be perfect for Man Utd as long as they don't coach the flair out of him. He is exactly what we need. If we signed him I'd be ecstatic. I think he'll stay though.

Statistically 30% of all Mikes posts contain the word "black." He's obsessed. That's 21900 posts about race.

Who is Blackman? Were you talking about Micah Richards? A little crude.

Is Ricky Hatton fighting? :lol: Truth based humour. Love it.

I am, and that's the only team I've ever supported, unlike some people in this thread...

Pronounced that dee-fence. Americans are warping my mind.

Chelsea 2-0 up in that pointless friendly against City in Amurcah.

He was 8/11 not so long ago.

Thiago has supposedly left every transfer window since he got promoted to the senior team. We'll see, I hope it's their usual bollocks. Has to be bollocks like. I would be over the moon with that signing.

Schaaf was the longest in Germany I think. 14 years. He's just retired. EDIT: Not retired, resigned.

I'm not, I'm just saying it's not as high as people think it is. From '92 until '99 our net spend was about £25million. We won five league titles, three FA cups and a Champions League in that period. Quite a few teams, including Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool, outspent us by quite a bit then. Villa, Chelsea, Spurs and Everton spent roughly the same. We hardly bought the trophies when everyone else spent the same or more. Pointing out you spent a lot of money is not the same as suggesting you bought the trophies. That's what I assumed you were incinuating. Apologies if it wasn't. I think Fergusons spending has been perfectly fine due to prize money brought in before hand and funds from players sold.

It was about £35million last season. That's for six players, five of which were 23 and under and the other being Robin van Persie. That was repaid with the league title. It's hardly a massive amount in modern day football as well. I'm sure I don't need to remind you that Villa spent well over £20million themselves last season, net.

So it's not £35million net then. It's £35million gross, and that figure is still wrong. We spent £35million+ in a transfer window maybe five times in Fergies reign, and when we did we sold players which made up a fair portion of that outlay. Like I said, not including Ronaldo the net spend per season wouldn't even be £15million. We have thirteen Premier League titles to show for that. The wage bill comment is also incorrect, as Barca, Madrid, City and Chelsea all have considerably higher wage bills than us. Should Rooney leave we would drop another few places, saying he is on £250,000 a week.

Also Fernando Amorebieta and Maarten Stekelenburg................they are working quick Surely not? That would be a brilliant signing for them.

Spent an av of 35m a season net apart from the season they sold CR. Where on earth have you dug that figure up from? It's absolute nonsense. If you took Ronaldo out of the equation, since the Premier League began we've a net spend of about £15million, maybe not even that. £35million.

Arsenal have no hope IMO.

Had a fantastic attitude and was one of the best players with a dead ball that I've ever seen. His crossing was excellent and he was a pretty decent finisher. His stamina often goes unnoticed as well. He was probably the fittest player in our treble winning side. I liked him and I'll miss him. That's Beckham, Scholes, Gary Neville and Nicky Butt gone from the class of '92. Only Phil Neville and of course Giggs left.

I got a tip on a horse on Friday as well and never put it in here 'cause the others had done so shit and it won. I never bet on it mind. Won $54 on the NRL by betting on the Roosters. Put another $30 on the Raiders for later on. Returns $70.

What a monumental waste of money you absolute nutjobs.

Aye I wanted to keep up with it as well but every time I came online there were at least 20 pages to get through.
