  1. Disloyalty all around me. My player going off and having informal drinks in secret overseas locations. I think that is tapping up. Another Phil underhand tactic.......
  2. Ive had a long look and even managed to enlarge the picture and am fairly sure it is AP with Peter Crouch
  3. I think it was only 14 minutes.....sadly 13 and a half were about your striking partners and the injuries they bravely took on. DrogBaj only has to see a packet of aspirins and he gets a headache. The DVD disc 2 seems a better option as it only has 'highlights' of the game and then the post match manager interviews. Less time of your life wasted watching and cringing at Hamsters 2 footed lunges, and Phils underhand tactics being employed.

    Corp Doh has said that he reckons that his mate at FP has told him they have sold 12k already and expect to go to 16k Lol.So he is saying they will increase their s/t sales after losing their star players and a season on after the uplift by winning the FA cup. It must be the air down there
  5. I think it is a combination of the OS upping their game, people concerned about losing their jobs if they leak stories and people who have posted info on here being criticised for doing so after sometimes being wide of the mark as no fault of their own. The OS should have the head start over all others, time will tell if they stay there.
  6. Alan Biley though Lol
  7. Exactly, legend is bandied around too easily.
  8. Send it to me, the DVD will get to you ...eventually, it semed as the scam worked the first time
  9. yep we are now gunning for Bopp. We have told him 14 cases of Tolberone and a 2 day time share in the Alps is better than a camel ride and a night out with a lady boy sailor in Goldsmith avenue.
  10. At least we can see him for what he was, a mercenary.No shame in that he wants what is best for his family.He would have been lauded as a legend if he had stayed.Only KD fits the bill in my eyes at present as he turned down bretter to stay with us.
  11. Of course if we have a wage earner of say 5-10k off the books by him moving we can offer that to AN other. It may prove to be a blessing.
  12. It will be worth every penny. ........although put it up on the tube first, as they'll be out of pocket wasting £2 a throw. I will myself buy one please...
  13. completely agree, the horizon is looking much brighter, the sun is just peeking above to show us the new dawn.This site will stay quiet due to that as well
  14. One of your bests posts for a long ong time Duncan.Very much my thoughts as well.
  15. Ginge, I suspect that was like a stab to your heart. Your rabies effected brain must have had you frothing at the mouth trying to come to terms with the wording.Of course it was very accurate and to the point. I look forward to his assessment of you Lol.
  16. I fail to believe that your s/t sales are near the 12k mark. You may get there by the seasons start but not yet. If you were at that level they PFC ticket office would be shouting it from the rooftops to get the rest to get a shift on or lose out.

    only if it was played in Amsterdam of course.
  18. I have been told that the managers post match interviews are noit on the DVD, not happy then not happy now
  19. I am a fan of anyone who saved us from oblivion. I never jumped up and down in excitement when he took over as I read his history and how he goes about things. I dont expect big signings just because he has money, but i see safety and that is fine by me. Mark Fry nearly coc### it up big time and got lucky at the last minute IMO. I had converstaions with people dealing with him and he was almost too clever for his own good.Taking Pinnacle before the Swiss could easily have p###ed them off and leave forever. He backedthe wrong horse but luckily the one laging behind had the staying power to win and save his bets. I thnakyou for your first sentence though
  20. If like me he was sat in the dinner hall at Shirley school to watch Armstrong set foot on the moon for the first time, he is right.The capsule may have landed during our night time, the first moonwalk (before Jacko) was done during schooltime as our school also sat and watched.
  21. Well you don't get it.I stated from the off that it was not a criticism.It was my summary of how things will pan out, all IMHO. ML's business philosophy is that businesses are not subsidised but run on their own. Therefore i draw from that he will not be spending big and the club wil run off its own steam. Perhaps an initial spend to get us back on track, but the thought of lording it over all the other league clubs with big spends is not likely. As i say not criticism but realism. The club was bought outright and there in NO debt, therefore the 2.4 m mortgage repayments will now not have to be found, all helping the bottom line. As for the Kaka snipe, perhaps you will put up a post where i have ever expected high class players? I am grateful to have a club, it is all the overexpectant fans who have gone overboard who are taking my comments as some kind of affront.
  22. I was not one of his biggest fans, but I could understand why he took certain strategies, and defended hois position from a financial prudence viewpoint.. I am a fan of ML, and his prudent running of a business.(I wish the government were as shrewd)
  23. At least you can understand what i was alluding to, not a criticism but an observation. I agree that he may have more ambition than RL, but in the financial sense of it paying its way (ML is by far a better businessman of course, and I dont want to bring the old arguements about that man)
  24. I also dearly want to be wrong. It has been put on here Leeds make a decent profit in L1. ML got rid of the major cost of running the club in his purchase. To break even is a much lower level now. Of course he may have bought the club as a loan and interest to be paid back to him . That will of course make the running costs seem higher. The leopard reference is not aimed at Saints but to MR Liebherr, in respect he has made it evident that all businesses have to stand on their own feet, therefore I doubt his ethics are going to change. As I say I hope to be wrong. I do expect a small amount of money to be made available to purchase players to make sure we can comfortably stave off relegation. If we start doing well, the crowds will return and then the transfer money will be self generating
