what is the likely 11m to be lost on.Rates is around £1m that still is a lot of extras. WOuld some be players bonusses and signing on fees, agents fees etc?

yeah I remeber thinking the same thing when Frannie played...kidding although

Perhaps I havent been a victim of that and so why I have not noticed it.At least we can agree on your first para Alpine.....although

yes thats true but it is odd when you see them saying they want to leave as they are being shot at. Or more appalling they give up to the Iranians and then sell their story to the Mirror

Alpine do you not have mirrors in your house. We all have our pet dislikes for certain views.

that happened when Blair shamelessly did a deal to let our army out of Basra without coming under attack.The Iraqis now call the Yanks and not us because they reckon we are not dependable.That's politicians for you, wiping years/decades/centuries of respect away in one move.

At least he tries to be positive and tries to get a balance. Alpine we are at opposite poles but it doesnt mean we are both right or wrong all of the time.

could we add a bit of all? and also for some,I would never go anyway but the reason I hide behind

I do Steve. I advocated then to cut them adrift, if it had happened they would have come back cap in hand as they needed both competitions but the chairman of the other clubs caved in.

I think you are being a little high in your expectations as Man u are in your first 2 home games.Get another Citygate and then you will soon fall again.In general I do accept that Pompey will get a higher average this season.Not a great surprise considering the success you had but still should happen.

Even Stevie Wonder and Blunkett could see that Gayameks father is behind it, proving an overseas person owns it is very difficult.The FA couldnt even get HR's wifes telephone records regarding some of his deals. The Fa/PL will only go through the motions but dont really want to rock the boat.We dont know how far HR's tentacles have spread over the years and he probably has much to tell is he wants to.

thats all well and good but it is set up for the few not my heritage where there are 92 clubs competing.If it was always a few we'd know no different but I recall the days when it was more even (still had inequalities but not like it is now)

oops Ive just re read it, sorry not my thread

No im still stupid enough to go.Although in the main I still really enjoy it.To meet with people I only know by a handshake a nod of recogniion, a chat with other like minded people and a smile and a joke with others, and of course having some time with my daughter who doesnt live at home any more....oh and the football.

anyone got a copy to lend out...only kidding Alpine, we would miss you.

a little of all those

I have felt that football will become like American football just a few regional teams and the big four with no relegation.We lost the opportunity for investment when the PA thing died a death due to the infighting and peoples inability to let go

Bolton at home to Arsenal only 22 k !!

it will be a fudge they will only make half hearted attempts as they wouldnt wish to be embarrassed by their negligence in the first place.

Well if you read my post it says they know of you. Dont worry as you have now given permission for me to publish your name I m going to ask them to make some enquiries.When they get it to me i will put it up.

of course the poster knows all about you and your statements, he must be right.

Do you really think a drop in price would tempt fans like the ones moaning on here? I doubt it, too many use things to make an excuse. Fans asked that Lowe kept a low profile on his return, he has done so even then they still find things to moan at.The quality of football does not improve if you charge less.Im still patiently waiting for the team to start a winning run and I may be disappointed but at least I wont sit and wonder what if.

he ould have some say, ie Davis turned his phone off and couldnt be contacted so he couldnt be sold. Others like Kenwynne refused to play so they do have a say. If the club wants to sell, or the agent wants a player to move invaribly it happens if there is interest.

this sums up the site, a poster makes a wild guess and then it becomes fact.LOL

you are preaching to the converted
