Devil's advocaat

As I said, no one had a sniff of this. Fantastic. 👏🏻

I like the fact there's very little coming out in the 'news' outlets regarding our dealings, Gerrard had this down to a tee, they knew fuck all til the deal was done.

A half what? 😆

Can't disagree with that.

Lets hope that's true.

Good. For the simple reason that the first time our new players walk out the Ibrox tunnel, they'll get the atmosphere of a new season, feel the weight of the Jersey and thrive on the expectation.

All clubs are doing this now, basically managing outgoing finances in terms of financial fair play etc. I think Diomande is on a similar basis?.

Yup, this is basically OC signing on a 5 year contract.

Old Trafford is in the state it's in purely down to lack of maintenance, preventative maintenance is essential with any exposed structure, neglect that and it's not long before the costs will spiral, we got into the same place ourselves not so long ago. We need to continue to grow, to extract profit as much as possible, we've already seen that we can't rely on european money, and we've made some poor contract choices in recent years too. Kudos to you for travelling up twice a month, that's superb.

Agreed.

Brilliant. Time we moved on from this squad, onwards and upwards.

No one knew who Lawwell was when he took over, and take over he did. Profile is irrelevant.

Disagree, we need someone who is good at their job, profile is irrelevant if you know your onions.

Tan man was way after our first CL adventures.

Rubbish. Players go to such English clubs as Norwich as it offers them a faster route to a Premiership contract, and that's about the height of many players ambitions.
