I'll take that bet on. What odds would you like?

Labour was even more dreadful.

I doubt he'd refuse it if his real debt is actually lower (say about £1 - hypothetically, of course): 20% of £32m would be a rather nice return for £1 of debt. I wouldn't say no to that offer. :cool:

Either get outclassed by Spain/Brazil/Argentina, or get beaten by penalties (again).

ML owns Saints. So you're saying he's lending money to himself, and expects to pay himself back. Or else.

As well as getting rid of a very good young manager (out of spite) and replacing him with 2 clowns, and waiting a few days after the points penalty cutoff date to go into administration (out of spite).

Lowe didn't save the club from liquidation by bringing in a billionaire owner. Hope you can fathom the difference now.

Has he signed yet?

Not needed. Just lots of dosh. Great thread BTW. :cool:

Exactly. Buying Saints (or any other football club) to make money is based on someone with normal wealth (such as son-of-gun-runner down the road), not someone with the mega wealth of ML. It's something a number of posters here just can't seem to fathom. One day they'll see the light. Bless 'em.

Essex 209/7 stumps. 400 a.o. tomorrow?

At a glance, to plot the easiest route to the final (something that the Germans are good at )

Let's compare: a "sugar daddy" who made his money the honest way, and fully funds the club with clean money and no debts, versus a "sugar son" who buys a morally-bankrupt club with his daddy's child-maiming blood money, who spends like a drunken sailor on players the club cannot afford and, despite huge annual Sky payments, a club that racks up debts (over 130 million) that they have no intention of paying back (including charities), thereby cheating their way to a cup final twice, and each year (until now, thankfully) robbing an honestly-run club a place in the PL.

You mean excluding the ones that were wanted by Saints?

Even without Hoddle?

Has he signed yet?

Me too. Trouble is, they usually end up in row z.

Dune waiting patiently for other protesters to turn up....

Very, very good question! Come on you HMRC! :smt038:smt038:smt038:smt038:smt038:smt038:smt038 CHEATING BASTARDS

How do you score "points" in a football match? Pick the ball up and boot it over the crossbar?

Good job he doesn't stand right in front of him. :cool:

Which include Chainrai and the rest of the motley crew of ex-owners. :cool: And don't forget years 3 and 4 of parachute money.
