Indeed. To give Allen some credit, he usually gives answers to most questions raised, even when he knows they're probably from 'scummers'. So maybe we can read something between the lines for brushing this one away?

True

I thought it was all the same club, just under different owners now. Won't we be accused of cherry-picking our history if we refer to "last club" and "current club"?

With your good contacts do you have any insight into how this investigation is going and what the likely outcome is? I'm just mindful of the fact that Luton Town faced a retrospective penalty a while ago when the financial conduct of previous owners hit the current innocent owners of the club at the time.

I understand our current 'player wage to revenue' ratio is around the 75% mark but that statistic is currently masked by the last of the parachute payments. Do you know how the club will go about reducing that figure next season once the parachute payments can no longer be used to mask the 'shop floor' figures?

That does not include parachute payments, they are separate. The operating turnover does not include aged debt. Operating loss at this moment in time is projected to be £320,000. Club are hoping it will be better. The figures have been published so are in the public domain.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Rickie never gets picked for England again.

@SouthamptonFC: Uruguay name @gasramirez10 on the bench for their #WCQ against already-qualified Argentina in Montevideo. Kick-off at 12.30am BST. #saintsfc

Is it Rickie o'clock yet?

Rickie would have buried that Sturridge effort FFS

Goal!!!!!! Rooney
