Not always but in this case yes I agree. It isn't quite make or break, but it will be our biggest test so far and if we are still near the top then there is an excellent chance.
But when he bought the club he didn't know he was dying (to my knowledge.) He bought it because it was great business. The idea that he would buy it and then lose a load just because he loved the club is almost as much of a nonsense as you saying that we would be allowed to spend tens of millions in January.
He did it because 12.5 million was absolutely fantastic business. He may have grown to love the club subsequently, but this was clearly the initial attraction. He has already made that back on the sale of Chamberlain.
Do you have specifics of these cases? Especially the paedo one? I doubt some of them are true and there is probably more context than you have made out.
Have never liked Rooney. Always sits uneasily with me that he plays for England and I can never cheer him on. In an ideal world he would never play for England. Wearing the shirt is about more than just ability.
