Well there is a bit of a difference between fixated with a stroppy CB, versus the possibility of a multi-billionaire buying your bankrupt club.
Not that I was in any way involved in yacht-watching, of course.
Saints: Commercial activities £12m, Matchday £19m
Man Utd: Commercial, merchandising and sponsorship £268m, Gate and matchday income £107m
We all know they're much bigger than us, but it's like an elephant and a flea.
I think it depends on the details of the loan agreement. If I remember correctly we made a loan where we couldn't recall the player for the season (Boruc I think, and we could've really used him because FF was out. It potentially cost us a top 4 place).
Because he plays for us, not Leicester. Ditto Austin, etc. If Gallagher does go on loan I hope there is a recall clause (if it's allowed) to provide cover if/when Gabbi and Austin are both out injured.
Problem is anything less than a 98% success record is below our high expectations: over the years Peach, MLT, Crouch, and SRL have set the bar very high.
