Tears of laughter for us. P.S. With pfc123 hilarious posts, how can this thread die?

Well, looks like he has got rid of it (and even a new thread was started about it, to boot!) Pancake, how about this for your new avatar? A bit more tasteful, n'est-ce pas?

Yes, but ... given the choice, would you really want the Skates (aka Cheats FC) to go up instead?

As long as he changes his avatar.

The promise of future parachute payments is surely the only thing keeping them alive at the moment. If BC is indeed borrowing against these future payments, it can only bring forward the date of their collapse. Which reinforces my view that if they don't go up this season, BC will pull the plug, scarper with everything that isn't bolted down, and it's game over for Cheats FC. Fingers crossed.

Brilliant. But shouldn't HMRC get some award as well?

How about Lowe putting us into administration a few days after the point deduction carryover cut off date? A totally avoidable act of maliciousness.

Let's not get too carried away. Idiot savant is perhaps a bit more accurate description, don't you think?

If BC keeps borrowing to keep you going, and you manage to go up at the end of the season, possibly. He's already made it clear to your manager that's where he stands. If you don't go up, the thread will remain very much alive as we'll be dancing on Cheats FC's grave. How does it feel to know that promotion this season is literally a life and death affair? I'd be quite nervous if I were you.

Depends whether the new company supplies brown envelopes, sufficiently stuffed, to key people making that decision.

And don't forget the increased parachute payments the year they went down. Injustices Mann and Tart not winding them up. The PL relaxing the embargo. Getting around the FL embargo. A weaker than usual Championship. HMRC screwing up in court. And, as you say, Malwinney gone just at the right time. They've really had an incredible charmed life as they've cheated and lied their way all through this. It's almost as though they've made a pact with the devil. The one silver lining is that if they don't go up this season they are f*cked. Come on QPR, Cardiff and one other (Leicester would be amusing). Cheating, lying bastards.

Indeed. The parachute payments, together with a gamble on promotion, to be precise. All this talk from AA about liquidation is pure bullshit. But it worked on the PL and Injustices Mann and Tart, so why not on the FL? They'll string on the administration until either it looks a good bet on promotion, or pull the plug if it looks unlikely. Cheating, lying bastards.

Have you just been watching Inglorious Basterds?

And for anyone who may have missed it, please join us in the Lounge at the world famous Cheats FC Takeover Saga thread, which is still going strongly, and where we are currently spitting blood that they could be cheating their way back to the PL.

What.

Yep, I've mentioned this scenario about a hundred pages back. It's looking more and more to be the case. Let's hope it all ends in tears for them. The most amusing possibility is that they finish in the top six, prepare for the playoffs, only to be hit by a points penalty at the 11th hour, which pulls the rug from under them. Oh how we'd laugh.

Don't be so sure. Brown envelopes have this amazing ability to wipe out memories of past shenanigans, even the multitude of disgusting ones that Cheats Fc have committed.

For a normal club, maybe. But for your lot you need to go up this season. BC will trouser as much of the parachute money as possible, and is gambling everything on a quick return. I'm pretty certain that you'll be liquidated if you don't go up this season. Fingers crossed.

Nail. Hammer. Head. But try explaining that to idiots such as InJustice Mann (and the FL for that matter).

Plan A: Push for promotion and the pot of gold that entails. If that fails...... Plan B: Hang around long enough to collect as much of the parachute payments as he can, asset strip as much as he can, and try to flog the carcass to some sucker. Let's hope plan A fails.

Well, it seems the "give us what we want or the kitten gets it" routine has worked yet again. Unless, of course, some brown envelopes have exchanged hands. Cheating, lying, bastards.

2-0 is a dangerous lead. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090523162131AA9rV1c

Corpse Whore would beg to differ. And I'm sure she will log on soon and do just that.

Come on Dalek, I've already corrected that myth a number of times. Luggy wasn't a disaster, he had a very reasonable record during his short stay at Saints. The rot started when Luggy was ousted and replaced by that disastrous buffoon Wigley.
